Coding a simple Microphone Graph
Tutorial Hero has a nice, simple code sample on putting together a Microphone Graph. The example draws a line to the activityLevel of your microphone as you talk or make silly noises. The post includes the easy code and breaks it down in segments pretty nicely.

Microphone makes balls bounce
Watch shiny, colorful, 2D balls bounce to the beat of your voice at http://www.neave.com/bounce/. The app, designed by Paul Neave, features an interface so fun and interactive, my 2-year-old is addicted to ‘talking’ to it. I turned my music up and the app’s balls even bounced to the beat.
Paul submitted the app to us via our Twitter @getMicrophone. What have you worked on with microphone? Send it to us and we’ll probably post it!
The thing we love most about Paul’s Bouncing Balls app? He shared the source code with all of us!

Microphone controlled animation in Papervision3D
Bartek Drozdz posted and impressive implementation using Flash microphone access and Papervision 3D.
The demo responds to microphone activity by swirling leaves in the air. You blowing into the microphone simulates the wind circulating the leaves. It’s a super fresh idea.
Check it out — so cool!
Advanced Microphone Interaction session at FITC, Toronto 2009
My session has been announced for FITC, Toronto 2009.
Using the Flash Microphone for advanced interaction
Microphone access is a generally untapped, yet a huge advantage for Flash developers and designers. Let’s break it open. Chuck will explore a wide range of samples using Flash’s ability to access the microphone as an advanced user interaction tool. See how to control UI with sound detection and activity, play with stereo, capture voice, attach voice to a server stream, and of course, use Ribbit to talk through Flash and over the phone.
Tickets are on sale - see you in Toronto!
