xTrem Audio Unit 1.1 is developed to be a fun tremolo unit which is packed with a nice range of tremolo shapes. It works as a mono or stereo tremolo. In mono mode, the left channel controls are active. The two channels are fully independent except for the tremolo depth setting. This gives it the capability of producing some interesting panning/tremolo combinations. xTrem has all 64 bit internal audio processing.

Requirements:

• OS X 10.4 or higher.
• Audio Unit host.
• Universal Binary
  

Reads text from a web page, converts to audio, imports into iTunes and updates to iPod (if present).

Notes: This nifty workflow is essentially a personal Podcaster.
The version here connects to this Wired news page and converts it to audio using the “Fred” voice (personally I would have used a female one ;)). Modify it for the webpage and voice of your choice (tip: set it to the current webpage for maximum flexibility).

Audio In 1.0.3 is an innovative and versatile recording program with an oscilloscope view of the audio input, volume operated recording ('VOX' recording) and scheduled recording. Audio In can record from any CoreAudio compatible audio input device.

This application is Macintosh version Link Soft for the CASIO Wrist Audio Player. Use of this application requires a separately available CASIO Wrist Audio Player. The Wrist Audio Player is a wristwatch type wearable audio player that can playback MP3 files you create on your computer or download from the Internet.

This application makes it possible for you to transfer such files from your computer to the Wrist Audio Player. The wristwatch configuration of the Wrist Audio Player makes it possible for you to take your favorite music along just about anywhere.

FMOD is a cross platform audio library that supports a wide range of audio formats and playback options, including a physically correct 3D audio engine. The FMOD Ex Audio Classes leverage FMOD to create a simple but powerful audio interface for REALbasic. Note however, that these classes do not expose all of FMOD Exs functionality, nor are they wrappers to access the FMOD Ex API directly.
First, a little background... The FMOD Ex API supports multiple concurrent "system" objects which may map to multiple audio devices installed on the same machine. Consequentially, all audio samples, channels, and effects are owned by a single system object and can not be shared. If a system object is destroyed, all sounds, channels, groups, and effects created under that system become invalidated and accessing them will generate errors (or worse).
To simplify this situation within the REALbasic environment, these classes do not allow for more than one system object to be active at any given time. Under normal circumstances this should not cause any grief - you call FMEx.StartUp when your application is launched, load your audio samples, create player objects, etc., then call FMEx.ShutDown when your application quits and all will be fine. If you have a need to restart FMOD Ex however, all existing FMExAudio, FMExStream, and FMExSubMixer instances will point to invalid audio handles. There is error checking in place to avoid crashes if this situation should arise, but it can still be annoying. In order to properly restart FMOD Ex you should follow the steps below...
Call the Stop method on all existing FMExAudioPlayer and FMExAudioPlayer3D instances. You do not have to dispose of these objects, but calling Stop ensures the internal channel reference is reset.
Dispose of all FMExAudio, FMExStream, and FMExSubMixer instances (i.e. set them to Nil). Be sure to also dispose of any FMExAudio instances that have been assigned to FMExAudioPlayer.DefaultAudio properties.
Call FMEx.ShutDown, followed by FMEx.StartUp, then reload/recreate all required FMExAudio, FMExStream, and FMExSubMixer objects and re-route any submixers.
ByRef methods are provided to allow you to reuse existing FMExAudio, FMExStream, and FMExSubMixer instances by replacing the required data/handles. This can be much easier than recreating them from scratch.
These classes couldve been simplified further by automatically reference counting audio objects and starting/stopping FMOD Ex behind your back, but that would preclude the ability to restart the audio engine at any time, and greatly impair the start up options interface.
- Virtual Channels
One of FMOD Exs most touted features is automatic channel virtualization. This allows you to play sounds on more channels than are physically available and let FMOD Ex decide which are more important based on priority settings and 3D positioning. One caveat with virtualization is that you must call FMEx.Update as frequently as possible for this to actually work (e.g. in games youd typically call FMEx.Update every frame). NOTE: If youre already calling FMEx.Update for 3D audio you do not need to call it twice.
- MIDI
MIDI playback currently only works on Windows, and only if the default system sound font is installed (/windows/system32/drivers/gm.dls). Broader MIDI support is on the would-like list but primary tests point to a broken implementation on Mac OS X (i.e. some FMOD Ex bugs need to be fixed before this can work).
- Other bugs...
Stereo sounds routed to submixers may "pollute" the wave data of other submixers. Everything else works as expected however and the audio output is correct, but submixers may return incorrect values when calling their Level methods. This appears to be a bug within FMOD Ex itself but more testing is required.

iBook 2001 Audio Patch 1.02 is released for iBook 2001 (dual USB) with an aim to effectively correct an audio problem with this new consumer portable. The problem is this: iBook 2001 seems to turn off some audio component after 30 seconds of silence and WILL cut off short audio samples (and delay longer ones) when audio is played after a long silence. This patch will play a low data rate buffer of audio silence every 15 seconds to prevent the audio hardware from turning off. This seems to resolve the problem.

This application will use up some CPU cycles (and will probably shorten battery life a little) in trade for the audio playback fix until Apple releases an official patch. Once this happens you will no longer need this little application.

Requirements:

• 2001 iBook (dual USB)
  

USB Audio ASIO Driver allows you to use a laptop as a synthesizer or digital effect-box.

It enables buffersizes down to 32 samples (0.73 ms) and does an ultra highspeed USB audio connection, bypassing the operating systems audio.

This does not only give you low latencies but better sound quality also.
