Hi!  
I want to use my microphone (audio input) and then calculate the amplitude (volume) and frequency of my voice (the idea is using this values and then map them). I’ve been researching in minim library but i’m a little bit lost. Also been researching in PureData but same thing.  
Does any of you know how to do this?  
I appreciate your help!
