An analgesic for high-performance audio on the iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X.

Really fast audio in iOS and Mac OS X using Audio Units is hard, and will leave you scarred and bloody. What used to take days can now be done with just a few lines of code.

Getting Audio

Novocaine *audioManager = [Novocaine audioManager];
[audioManager setInputBlock^(float *newAudio, UInt32 numSamples, UInt32 numChannels) {
	// Now you're getting audio from the microphone every 20 milliseconds or so. How's that for easy?
	// Audio comes in interleaved, so, 
	// if numChannels = 2, newAudio[0] is channel 1, newAudio[1] is channel 2, newAudio[2] is channel 1, etc. 
}];

Playing Audio

Novocaine *audioManager = [Novocaine audioManager];
[audioManager setOutputBlock^(float *audioToPlay, UInt32 numSamples, UInt32 numChannels) {
	// All you have to do is put your audio into "audioToPlay". 
}];

Does anybody actually use it?

Yep. Novocaine is result of three years of work on the audio engine of Octave, Fourier and oScope, a powerful suite of audio analysis apps.
