Can anyone help me with this? I have a piece of code that uses input from the mic to create graphics. It worked on my old computer but won’t work on the new mac with touchbar for some reason.

```auto
// Example 20-5: Live Input with Sonia
PImage shape1;
PImage shape2;
PImage shape3;
PImage shape4;
PImage shape5;
PImage shape6;
PImage D;
PImage A1;
PImage A2;
PImage P;
PImage grid;

float shape1Height;
float shape1Width;

float shape2Height;
float shape2Width;

float shape3Height;
float shape3Width;

float shape4Height;
float shape4Width;

float shape5Height;
float shape5Width;

float shape6Height;
float shape6Width;

float DHeight;
float DWidth;

float A1Height;
float A1Width;

float A2Height;
float A2Width;

float PHeight;
float PWidth;

float gridHeight;
float gridWidth;

import processing.sound.*;

AudioIn input;
Amplitude analyzer;

void setup() {
  size(500, 700);
  
  
 
  shape1 = loadImage("shape1.png");
  shape1Height = 300;
  shape1Width = 300;
  
  shape2 = loadImage("shape2.png");
  shape1Height = 30;
  shape1Width = 30;
  
  shape3 = loadImage("shape3.png");
  shape1Height = 80;
  shape1Width = 80;
  
  shape4 = loadImage("shape4.png");

  // start the Audio Input
  input.start();

  // create a new Amplitude analyzer
  analyzer = new Amplitude(this);

  // Patch the input to an volume analyzer
  analyzer.input(input);
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
 
  // Get the overall volume (between 0 and 1.0)
  float vol = analyzer.analyze();
  fill(127);
  stroke(0);
  
  //Draw grid
  rotate(vol* 5); 
  image(grid, -18, 20, 300 +vol*3000, 300 +vol*3000);

  image(A1, 290, 240, A1Height+ vol*800, A1Width + vol*800);
  
  image(A2, 190, 310, A2Height+ vol*800, A2Width + vol*800);
  
  image(P, 340, 400, PHeight+ vol*800, PWidth + vol*800);

pls format your code using

```auto
</>

```

code tag and  
paste your code into it.

no idea what is a touch bar, but if it is a input device like a mouseWheel you  
test it in a extra 5 line code and show us, if it works with mouse but not with the new device.

if you have a question about the  
processing sound lib  
you pls. test it with a example from the library and report back.
