I just found this page... http://users.otenet.gr/~athsam/mini_audio_analyzer.htm It seems too simple, would it actually work? It looks like all I would need to do would be to add some additional LEDs coming off of the LM3914 or LM3915 Is there something I'm missing?

Yeah, probably true. I am more of a programmer than I am a circuit designer, but this might be a more abitious project than I would want to take on as a first time uC program. I found this Velleman kit that I think is what I was looking for...

No, I haven't. I'm not sure if such a circuit would be beyond my capabilities or not...I guess it would depend on how much I had to start with... How expensive or complex would it be to build such a circuit? Would I still be able to use the same basic LED VU meter design for the outputs?

Thanks for the info (and the welcome) I have already been doing a bit of searching... These two most closely match the basis of what I am trying to accomplish: http://sound.westhost.com/project60.htm and most specifically this: http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~sharpjm/led/led.html The...

Hi, I am looking to build a basic spectrum analyzer (if that is what you would call it) out of some LED lights for a car stereo. Basically, I want about 8 - 10 bars (for different frequency bands), and I want them to jump up and down to the music, giving it a direct feed off of the car...
