ComfyUI Node: PreView Audio

PreviewAudio:

The PreviewAudio node is designed to facilitate the temporary preview of audio files within the ComfyUI environment. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to quickly listen to generated audio without saving it permanently. By creating a temporary file with a unique prefix, PreviewAudio ensures that your workspace remains organized and clutter-free. This node leverages the capabilities of the SaveAudio class but directs the output to a temporary directory, making it ideal for quick checks and iterative audio generation processes.

PreviewAudio Input Parameters:

audio

The audio parameter is the primary input for the PreviewAudio node. It accepts audio data in the form of a waveform and sample rate, which is typically generated or processed by other nodes in the workflow. This parameter is essential as it provides the audio content that will be temporarily saved for preview purposes. The audio input must be in the format specified by the node, ensuring compatibility and proper functioning.

PreviewAudio Output Parameters:

This node does not have explicit output parameters defined in the context. However, it performs the action of saving the audio to a temporary directory for preview purposes. The result is a temporary audio file that can be accessed and listened to within the ComfyUI environment.

PreviewAudio Usage Tips:

• Use the PreviewAudio node when you need to quickly check the quality or content of generated audio without committing to saving it permanently.
• Combine PreviewAudio with other audio processing nodes to iteratively refine your audio output, ensuring that each step meets your expectations before finalizing the file.
• Take advantage of the temporary nature of the output to keep your workspace clean and avoid clutter from numerous intermediate audio files.
