Homework #1: Real-time Audio, Buffers, and Waveforms

Due date: 2008.10.8 11:59:59pm (or thereabout), Wednesday.

Specification (part 1 of 2): Real-time Audio

• create a program that is capable of real-time audio input/output
• start with a blank C++ program
• create a minimally compilable program (e.g., HelloWorld):
  • if you'd like, you can use this very basic makefile
• next add real-time, using the RtAudio Library (4.0.4)
  • download it from here
  • even though it's useful to briefly look through the package, the only files you'll need are:
    • RtAudio.h (the header file for RtAudio, it contains the class definitions)
    • RtAudio.cpp (the implementation)
    • RtError.h (header containing various error handling constructs for RtAudio)

Note

• Have fun with it!!!

Deliverables

turn in all files by putting them in your Library/Web/154/hw1/ directory, and concise online documentation + readme

• 1) source code to the project (*.h, *.cpp, *.c makefile, etc.)
• 2) online page for your project (should be viewable at http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~YOURID/154/hw1/). It should include:
• links to your files of various kinds
• instructions on building the project
• a short README that
  • conveys your ideas/comments in constructing each program
  • describes any difficulties you encountered in the process
