Max 7 Tutorial #44: Sound from the Spigot (older version)
Channel: dearjohnreed

***Note***  After Max 7.2 or so, the object "Spigot~" was made useless, which is good as it wasn't working very well with many platforms.  The function has been incorporated into "jit.movie~" (as opposed to "jit.movie" without a tilda).  If you are using Max 7.3 or later, you should be looking at my other video "Tutorial #44: Sound from Video" (same number because it replaces the older one).  If you are using an older version of Max,..  Continue on!

As a default, Max sends the audio from movies out through your computer's sound system without making it obvious what's going on.  However, you can keep the sound "in you patcher by sending the sound out from the jit.qt.mov object to a "spigot" object.  That's what we do in this Tutorial and then we go on to use that sound to modulate an effect in the next tutorial (#45).
