Gang,
I design high end audio asynchronous usb dac hardware. A lot of
customers have found that iTunes while nice may not sound as good as
actually playing tracks in pro audio tools. The problem with Pro Audio
is one track at a time.
One of the reason's why iTunes does not sound as good is that iTunes
takes a snap shot of Audio Midi Setup for the device output in question
and resamples to that rate and bit size before it goes out. So you may
have a 44.1/16 bit track then a 24/96 track and they will both be
resampled to the rate specified in the Audio Midi setup. Other problems
happen when users forget setting the volume control to 100% and using eq
and other sound altering options.
The nice thing about iTunes is there are a bunch of applications for
remote access and control as well as the ripping and burning capabilities.
So I had an idea that maybe there was an interface for iTunes were the
sample and sample rate info was passed to a DLL or API for processing
that we could hijack the sample and out put it to a known device as is
without any processing and change the sample rate on the fly. In return
to iTunes we would pass the altered sample back as a ZERO so when iTunes
passed the sample onto the mixer that it would not interfere or be
output as anything.
Anything like that? Anyone interested in helping me out with this?
Thanks
Gordon
