We are pleased to announce the release of a new version, V18, of PortAudio,
a free cross-platform, open-source, audio I/O library in 'C'. This new
version of PortAudio adds support for Macintosh OS X, and has improved
implementations for Unix/OSS and for ASIO on Mac and Windows. PortAudio is
the result of a collaboration among dozens of audio programmers worldwide.
PortAudio lets you write audio programs in 'C' that will compile and run on:
- Windows using MME, DirectSound, or ASIO,
- Macintosh using SoundManager or ASIO on OS 8,9, CoreAudio on OS X
- Unix (Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD) using OSS,
- SGI, and BeOS.
PortAudio is intended to promote the exchange of audio synthesis software
between developers on different platforms. It provides a very simple API for
recording and/or playing sound using a simple callback function. Example
programs are included that synthesize sine waves and pink noise, perform
fuzz distortion on a guitar, list available audio devices, etc.
PortAudio is very easy to use and can be learned from the online tutorials.
This makes it a good tool for teaching audio programming because students
can focus on the signal processing instead of struggling with platform
specific APIs.
PortAudio may be freely downloaded and used in your projects, commercial or
otherwise, from:
Enjoy,
Phil Burk, Ross Bencina, and the PortAudio team
