Driving animation by way of audio
What I'm looking to do is drive some animation by music. I saw a tutorial a while ago that started in after effects by using the convert audio to keyframes options, then attaching that to the opacity of a white plane. They rendered that image sequence and pulled it into Maya from there I think they used a plugin to drive the shape of a plane.
Is there anyway to do something similar without a plugin? Really all I'm looking to do is drive just the Y scale of a cube from the sound clip.
Any help would be much appreciated as always!! Thanks guys!

There more of a starting point.
Motion builder has a similar systme that allows you to do auto lip synch, good starting point.
