Oh, I should also mention that there is an example project in the SDK as well - both one for OpenAL and one just using the 3DMixer directly.

Hi,

I am new to the list, just joined today. I like to do hobby audio development as an addition to music creation and performance...

I have a question, the docs are kind of thin when it comes to which mixer one should choose to use in an application.

There are three flavors:

kAudioUnitSubType_StereoMixer	 = 'smxr',
kAudioUnitSubType_3DMixer	 = '3dmx',
kAudioUnitSubType_MatrixMixer	 = 'mxmx',


Could someone use the 3dMixer as a mixing board for producing music? You know having several streams feeding into and mixing them in 3d? I'd like to make a sample player that could feed several sounds into it and mix them in 3d while DJing...

Yes - aside from all of its bells and whistles, it is still a mixer.


I tried setting up a prototype but could not set the Mixer's ASDB Input to deal with floats. Do I need a format converter to use this? I had Float32's which playback at half speed for some reason, something is obviously coded wrong on my end.

It takes mono or stereo (deinterleaved) as an input (as well as a 4 channel WXYZ stream)... Use the CAStreamBasicDescription class in PublicUtility as a helper for setting this up. Also, the source for OpenAL's X implementation (openal.org) is available - it uses the 3DMixer and I'm sure this would be helpful for you
