Of course, we always know what we are doing... Z-buffers, bilinear, dingsbums...


 
3D version of Core Audio AUHAL input (2005.05.27)
The sample code getting the AUHAL input audio signal and turning it into animation of a grid of little cubes. It uses GLUT, AUHAL, Accelerate.framework and needs a lot of cleaning before publication.		 Here's the 3D version of the executable (Mac OS X .app thing).
vDSP A.K.A. Accelareate.framework meets Core Audio AUHAL (2005.05.19)
Here's (going to be) some sample code which adds FFT display in real time extracted from the AUHAL input audio signal. It uses Accelerate.framework in addition to what was there before (GLUT, AUHAL).		 Here's the FFT-capable executable (Mac OS X .app thing).
 
Core Audio AUHAL sample code (2005.05.03)
Here's some sample code I wrote to visualize (for now, just the signal...) in real time the audio signal from the AUHAL. It uses GLUT for simple user-event handling and OpenGL to draw the signal. Its audio code is largely based on the TN2091:

Using an Audio Unit as real-time audio input from the Hardware Abstraction Layer of Core Audio is explained in ADC Technical Note TN2091: Device input using the HAL Output Audio Unit.

 Here's the executable (Mac OS X command-line) for the same code.
QTJava sample code (2003.??.??)
Here's a small applet I wrote to read sound signals from a QTJava input audio device. It uses QuickTime for Java - if you don't have Java, QuickTime and QTJava installed on your system, you need to install first.

Audio recording in QTJava is explained in QTJ sample code.

 Here's the applet

amazing!
it still works, 5 years later, on Mac OS X 10.5.4...



My previous daytime gig was at IUB's AVL.
There may be some code & other information still at my homepage there.
