Since 4 days i got crazy studying AudioUnitComponent cause i decided to do a sequencer like Garage Band.
Wow boys, the AudioUnit are very hard to manage, but after 4 days......
YEAAHHHHH!!!!!

Now i have 2 unit like DJs mixing directly on the audio device of the iOS and this night (5 min ago) i done the engine for the SID player reading from the file binary!
I learned from the c64 specification page where the PCM song is located and how to go next song and prev.

I'm too happy!!! Ahuahuahu i can't believe it!

Long life to Steve!

Yes i know this LIB, i seen it before i started to study the AudioUnit. But when i saw the price i felt in doubt...
Well i never use to give a App for free, i live of this...
But once you know how to use the AudioUnitComponent you don't need the external library.

Now i can play : MP3, All Apple files, C64 SID

What i'm releasing now (an app done in 7 days) is "GG Radio" that will show:
- SID Player
- MP3 Player
- Alarm Clock
- Radio Streaming

But next a DJ App with 2 disk to mix and some effect mixed with the microphone too.
I will also include the possibiliti to broadcast to Icecast2 / ShoutCast server from iOS/Mac

And i will release the app for really low price.
All of this include AppGameKit / C++ / OBJ C / C

Long life to Steve!

Sounds great, congrats! I think Core Audio is one of the most complicated subjects ever. I looked at Fmod in the past, but couldn't get over the $3,000 price tag for a commercial license per platform (I see they now offer a $500 license, which is still quite steep for small indie developers).

@xGEKKOx - 99% of your posts are totally irrelevant to this forum and to AGK.

If we want high-performance audio on Windows or Amiga, I can deliver that very easily.

The point of AppGameKit is cross-platform programming. I am not the slightest bit interested in your iOS/Mac achievments. If you can do the same thing for Android, Windows, and whatever turns up next year, I'll be very interested.

I am very interested in GEKKO's achievements myself!

LoL Jim.... very friendly as i see. What's the problem?
Maybe you don't have a too far look behinds my test...
Until programmers like you will exist i will always earn much!!! I'm happy!!!
Well i hate Android, so don't read my post.

Thx BJ, at least you can understand what is the meaning of my post.
Well let's explain also to Jim:
When i post that i successful coded something, is to inform all users that they can do the same with AGK.

Edit : Where you read that the point of AppGameKit is cross-platform???? I always thought is the money. Wake up boy! Maybe i'm wrong with the post title, but on this forum you can't edit it.

Long life to Steve!

Naaaa, i hate to do flames, but sometimes i don't understand why some users are so rude.
If you don't help they say you don't help.
If you help they say you did in the wrong way or other (like Jim).

The solution is to read only what you are interested in...
Infact if you can't find one of my post on Android thread.

Is easy.

xGEKKOx do you like Apple, ok, mean the other platform are not good is not true. AppGameKit is a multiplatform SDK, you can choose what you want to do and where to sell.

You are not the only one who is writing or wrote iOS applications. Be careful also when you speak about others especially if you don't know them.

Your project idea is nice so continue your development and make the best product you can but don't think only iOS can do something because in many cases is just the opposite. iOS is a very closed and restricted OS and much more it has to run only on Apple devices.

I'm a professional developer i cover many other devices also hand-held consoles like DS/3DS and i'm sure if you will make a nice DJ software you can have a good feedback from the market.

Who cares about ios or android or whatever, we are programmers we code wherever we feel comfortable and wherever the job requires.

Let's leave the stupid "xxx is the best" to the fanboys & users.

I hope you won't hate me, but I originally bought AppGameKit to make iOS projects!!! I hope that there is nothing wrong with that.

Infact is the same thing i said...
Anyway i agree with you 7RS!!

The fact i don't like Android is not the point. The point is to help others on the forum.
And when i say i discovered how to use AudioUnit with AppGameKit, maybe someone could need some help to do the same thing.
And when i say what i gonna do explaining what i will code, is not for vanity, but to let the others understand what you can do with AppGameKit + OBJ C (always talking of iOS/Mac).
That's all.
If a reader don't need AudioUnit cause he use Android, which is the reason to answer to a post???

OK, let's all simmer down and get back on topic. It's up to the mods to determine whether the thread is appropriate. We're all free to use AppGameKit anyway we please (complying to the licence) on any platforms we desire.

Cheers

Although this thread is more geared towards iOS specifically I think it is good for the wider range of users to see what is possible using native tools. xGEKKOx quite rightly points out that this is a general area for general discussion and is proud of his achievement. I think some of his comments might have been a little too much in retaliation to Jim's comment but to be fair I thought you were a little harsh on him Jim. Sorry.

Let's stick on topic from now on please!

Sounds cool - although I'm not sure about another iOS DJ App, there are some great ones already. I love the sound of SID, actually been listening to some Last Ninja 2 soundtrack just today, I don't go a week without listening to at least 1 ocean loader . I find it kinda sad that every song has to be over 2mb these days, I miss the days of 2k music files that sound awesome... even beyond how nice they sound tho, the way the SID chip worked was great, I didn't really appreciate it until I got an ST with it's similar YM2149. Actually, might be worth supporting that as well, it's probably really similar in how it operates.

One thing that a friend asked me to look into is YouTube DJ'ing. Not videos, just the music - so you could search YouTube for a track, as well as replay music on your device, like a DJ app that lets you use YouTube video soundtracks and your own music library. He actually does something similar already, having 2 youtube windows open on his laptop at the same time, but having a standalone app that can do that would be great, I'm sure people would love it.

I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more memes.

Great VAN B is another fan of C64.
(VAN..... shhhhhhhh.... don't say it to anybody....... shhhhhh..... a new last ninja is coming out.... shhhhh..)

Well yes, i think is better to move in iOS forum. I think can be a good thing to give to the user the possibility to change the title of the thread (maybe a user can do a mistake).
