Re: New to converter.




for the record:

1) MTCoreAudio is still supported. see my participation on this mailing list just in the last week, and a bugfix release recently to address a Leopard compatibility issue.

2) MTConversionBuffer, as supplied by me, *never* worked on anything other than Float32 samples. if you had one that produced 16 bit samples in the past, it was divergent from the official version and made by not-me, and one shouldn't expect future releases by me to magically not clobber those divergent changes. MTConversionBuffer has only ever done sample rate conversion.

3) MTCoreAudio doesn't provide any interfaces to AudioFile, so would not be an appropriate choice for Aurélien Ammeloot's situation anyway.

by "support", i mean that i'll fix my bugs, make a reasonable effort to clarify confusion in how to use the APIs i've provided, and where possible and in general terms, give pointers on correct usage. as a regular employee of a software company, however, i *can't* do contract work to write or fix someone else's program, or be exposed to someone else's proprietary intellectual property. plus i don't really want to. plus i'm busy that day.

Welcome to a very large crowd of people who ALSO wants to do this. Initially, we used MTCoreAudio for this application, but apparently the Author is no longer supporting it due to 'Conflict of Interest' issues, so we are just going to ditch it in our application as being totally unusable... Which is too bad, because it does a lot of the work one doesn't really want to do.

In their updated version, we were unable to get the MTConversionBuffer to spit out 16 bit samples into our sample buffer. Apparently the Author didn't seem to think that people would still want to use 8k/sec samples, and he apparently took this out of the new version as far as I've been able to determine.

None of us can figure out how to use it, and if I had known it would be this difficult to use MTCoreAudio, I would have made an effort to use the lower level procedural code, but (sigh) there is a large lack of examples in this area.
I guess it's time to "cash in" on an instance of support from Apple soon.
