\fs24 Inter-application Audio Driver\
|
|
\
|
|
\
|
|
|
|
\b Soundflower
|
|
\b0 is a virtual audio device that provides an\
|
|
easy and simple way for
|
|
\b Max/MSP
|
|
\b0 and other applications\
|
|
to send and receive audio to and from any other application. \
|
|
Running with very low latency and cpu usage,
|
|
\b Soundflower
|
|
\b0 \
|
|
allows each client application to use its usual buffer size.\
|
|
\
|
|
\
|
|
|
|
\f2\fs36 Installing Soundflower\
|
|
|
|
\f1\fs24 Run the
|
|
\b Soundflower.pkg
|
|
\b0 . You will be asked for\
|
|
an administrator account password. One file,
|
|
\b Soundflower.kext
|
|
\b0 ,\
|
|
will be installed in the Extensions Folder. The remainder of the \
|
|
supporting files will be installed to /Applications/Soundflower.\
|
|
\
|
|
If you experience difficulty installing Soundflower, it is\
|
|
recommended that you run the Uninstall Soundflower applescript\
|
|
that is provided on the disk image.\
|
|

|
|
|
|
\f2\fs36 Using Soundflower
|
|
\f1\b\fs24 \
|
|
Soundflower
|
|
\b0 presents itself as one of two coreaudio devices. \
|
|
In most cases, you will want to use the 2-channel device.\
|
|
\
|
|
To send the output of one application to another, simply select\
|
|
|
|
\b Soundflower
|
|
\b0 as the output device within the first application\
|
|
and
|
|
\b Soundflower
|
|
\b0 as the input device within the second\
|
|
application.\
|
|
\
|
|
If an application does not allow you to specify audio devices,\
|
|
you can make
|
|
\b Soundflower
|
|
\b0 the default input or output device\
|
|
inside the
|
|
\b Sound
|
|
\b0 panel in the
|
|
\b System Preferences
|
|
\b0 , or with\
|
|
the
|
|
\b Audio MIDI Setup
|
|
\b0 utility application.\
|
|
\
|
|
The
|
|
\b 16-channel device
|
|
\b0 is provided for more complex routing\
|
|
situations, and can be used with more than two applications\
|
|
simultaneously if the applications support audio routing to any\
|
|
channel, as
|
|
\b Max/MSP
|
|
\b0 does.\
|
|
\
|
|
Note that
|
|
\b Soundflower's
|
|
\b0 audio channels represent a global audio\
|
|
space. If more than one application is sending its output to the\
|
|
same channel, the audio will be mixed. If you want an application\
|
|
to send and receive audio through
|
|
\b Soundflower
|
|
\b0 , (for instance using\
|
|
|
|
\b Max/MSP
|
|
\b0 to manipulate and return another application's audio)\
|
|
you must send and receive the audio on different audio channels\
|
|
or a feedback loop will be created.\

\f2\fs36 Example
|
|
\f1\b\fs24 \
|
|
|
|
\b0 To send audio from
|
|
\b iTunes
|
|
\b0 to
|
|
\b Max/MSP
|
|
\b0 , open the
|
|
\b System \
|
|
Preferences
|
|
\b0 and select
|
|
\b Soundflower (2ch)
|
|
\b0 as the device for\
|
|
sound output inside the
|
|
\b Sound
|
|
\b0 panel. Then, inside
|
|
\b Max/MSP's \
|
|
DSP Status Window
|
|
\b0 , select
|
|
\b Core Soundflower (2ch)
|
|
\b0 as the input \
|
|
device. All output of
|
|
\b iTunes
|
|
\b0 should now be sent to
|
|
\b Max/MSP's
|
|
\b0 \
|
|
|
|
\b adc~
|
|
\b0 object.\

\f2\fs36 Troubleshooting
|
|
\f1\b\fs24 \
|
|
|
|
\b0 If you are hearing clicks or breakups, try increasing the buffer size of\
|
|
both applications (set within each application).\

|
|
\f2\fs36 Removing Soundflower
