ComfyUI Node: Load Audio

Load Audio:

The SaltLoadAudio node is designed to facilitate the loading of audio files into your project, making it an essential tool for AI artists working with audio data. This node supports a variety of audio formats, including .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .aiff, and .aif, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources. By using this node, you can easily import audio files, which are then processed and made available for further manipulation or analysis within your workflow. The primary goal of the SaltLoadAudio node is to streamline the process of integrating audio data, allowing you to focus on creative tasks without worrying about technical details.

Load Audio Input Parameters:

audio

This parameter specifies the audio file you wish to load. The node supports multiple audio formats such as .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .aiff, and .aif, ensuring flexibility in your choice of audio sources. When you select an audio file, the node processes it and prepares it for further use in your project. The impact of this parameter is crucial, as it determines the audio data that will be available for subsequent operations. There are no minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it is essential to ensure that the selected file is in one of the supported formats.

Load Audio Output Parameters:

AUDIO

The output of the SaltLoadAudio node is an audio object that contains the waveform and sample rate of the loaded audio file. This output is crucial as it provides the raw audio data that can be used for various audio processing tasks within your project. The waveform is a representation of the audio signal, while the sample rate indicates the number of samples per second. Together, these elements form the basis for any further audio manipulation or analysis you may wish to perform.

Load Audio Usage Tips:

• Ensure that your audio files are in one of the supported formats (.wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .aiff, .aif) to avoid compatibility issues.
• Use high-quality audio files to maintain the integrity of your audio data throughout your project.
• Organize your audio files in a dedicated directory to streamline the selection process and improve workflow efficiency.

Load Audio Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid audio file: <audio>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified audio file does not exist or is not in one of the supported formats.
• Solution: Verify that the audio file exists in the specified directory and is in a supported format (.wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .aiff, .aif). Ensure the file path is correct and try again.

Unsupported audio format

• Explanation: This error indicates that the selected audio file is not in a format supported by the node.
• Solution: Convert the audio file to one of the supported formats (.wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .aiff, .aif) and reload it using the node.

File not found

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified audio file cannot be located in the input directory.
• Solution: Check the file path and ensure that the audio file is present in the input directory. If necessary, move the file to the correct directory and try again.
