Re: Streaming Graph to file without a sound



If you install XCode2.3 the PlaySequence version there has a "export to file" option. The basics of it are

1) swap your output unit with a generic output unit
2) tell all the AUs in the graph to go offline,
3) have a render callback on something right before the output unit with the writeAsync stuff in it,
4) call AudioUnitRender on the generic output unit.


There is some strange bug/feature associated with kAudioUnitRenderAction_OutputIsSilence in the rendering that segfaults if you don't check for it, I never got around to really testing it out.

If you still need help come back and ask-- this is something I am intimately familiar with :)

I understand that I can use ExtAudioFileWriteAsync (etc.) to create a file and stream the output of my graph to it. Here's the twist... I don't want to hear the output while I'm writing the file. So, this is more like Export to file. My graph currently consists of custom generator unit(s), connected to a matrix mixer, connected to the default output unit. I need the graph to generate the output because I rely on event timing from the MusicSequence and the graph drives this nicely.

I suppose for my export I could spoof the output unit by filling its buffers with zeros while writing the actual data to file. This seems a bit much. Am I missing something simple? Should I switch to AUHAL rather than the default unit for the export? Is there support in AUHAL for this that I've missed?

Thanks for any help.
