This code sample demonstrates the topics outlined in my article series "Algorithmic Beat Mapping in Unity" https://medium.com/giant-scam/algorithmic-beat-mapping-in-unity-intro-d4c2c25d2f27

This is a minimal example of the foundation for detecting beats in audio files in Unity. Audio analysis is available for real-time audio as well as preprocessing an entire audio file up front. Both analysis methods use the same spectral flux algorithm that is outlined in this article: http://www.badlogicgames.com/wordpress/?cat=18&paged=3

This code sample was tested using Unity 2017.3.0f3. It should be compatible with Unity 5 as well.

In the Hierarchy, select SongController and enable/disable Real Time Samples and Pre Process Samples. All combinations of the two are valid. Load an audio file into the SongController->AudioSource. Press Play. You should hear the audio being played and see the output of the algorithm in the two Plot objects on screen.
