Save multiple sonified data from 'soni_obj.play()'

[rdzudzar]

Hi,
I heard the other day about Astronify, what a great project!

As I started exploring and creating sound objects. In Jupyter Notebook I can play simultaneously several files just by having multiple soni_obj.play() one after the other, however, I can .wirte() only individual files, so I was wondering is it possible to write all into a file - as it is played?
I'm using it to sonify galaxy groups - therefore, trying to test how clear would be to hear an entire group of galaxies played/saved at the same time.

Interesting idea! We'll add this to our list to do some R&D into what's possible. I'm sure in the mean time you could use audio editing software to overlay multiple sound files on top of each other and then save that as a new single sound file, although I don't know which are free vs. paid, and scriptable vs. not. If you do any investigation about that let us know if you find a tool that works!

For my own curiousity, from where are your galaxy group data coming from, if you don't mind sharing?

[rdzudzar]

Yes, of course, I will look into sound recording/editing, it should be possible, I will keep you updated.

The data that I'm using is from my observations for PhD research, I have an idea of making a certain properties through Astronify within a Notebook. Once I have a draft I am happy to share with you the Notebook & Data with it. Are you planning on having some contributed notebooks within your project?

Update:
Created a small project, data and the Jupyter notebook available here:
