This is my first post here, and I'm reasonably new to this electronics kinda stuff...
I'm wanting to make sets of leds flash/fade to music from my computer.
I'm planning to have 4 strips of leds 1 strip for low sounds, 2 for mid sounds, and 1 for high sounds.
I know how to power the leds etc. The problem is I'm not sure on how to use the music input to get them to fade and flash.
What I'm asking is for help on what I'll need and how to set it up. My computer runs a 5.1 surround sound system, would i use just one jack for highs, mids, and lows or would i, say, use the sub channel to get the low sounds etc.
I'm sorry for all the questions, but I've searched around and what I've found has given me clues to what's needed but I guess I haven't made sense of it all.
Oh, and also i would like to put a switch in to switch between off, flashing/fading to music, slow fading, and flashing if possible.
Thanks for any help in advance.
