Hi all, I’ve got an audio algorithm that I’d like to port over to run in a MacOS/X audio environment. The algorithm is somewhat similar to a 24x24 mixer, in that it takes 24 mono audio streams as input, swizzles them all together, and emits 24 mono audio streams as output.
From studying the Core Audio documentation, it appears that this algorithm could be represented by a “signal processor” style Audio Unit. What I’m not sure about, however, is how useful such an Audio Unit would be on a machine that doesn’t also have a 24-channel audio input device and a 24-channel audio output audio device to connect it to. In particular, what I’d like to be able to do is connect (whatever audio input or output devices do exist on the host Mac) to various specified user-specified subsets of my algorithm's inputs/outputs; for example, I might want to feed mixer outputs 5 and 8 to my Mac’s headphone jack, and feed mixer outputs 15 and 16 to my Mac’s line-out jack. Similarly, I might want my Mac’s microphone jack to feed in to input 3 and my USB headset’s mic to feed in to input 4 of the mixer algorithm. If I implement my mixing algorithm as a 24-channel Audio Unit, are audio-routing decisions like those described above something that can be done outside of my app? If so, would they be done using “Audio MIDI Setup”, or “AU Lab”, or is there some other GUI that better handles that sort of thing? Or if not, do I need to create the necessary GUI myself? Or is there some other way to go about this that would better interface with the rest of the Mac audio environment? Perhaps there is some example code that is particularly relevant to this sort of use case? Thanks for any advice you can give, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
