Hello there!
I would like to get hints as where to start/look to make a program (for OS9) for the playback of audio files in a "musique concrète" mindset...
I am using for this purpose "SoundByte": it is quite perfect for that in its ease of use, and large number of files available, but it is missing two ingredients that are very important in the "musique concrète" context: backwards playback and vari-speed.
I would suppose Quicktime has all the necessary capabilities and could be the foundation of such a device, but I have no idea how to harness this. I was thinking of MAX 4, or RealBasic. Possible?
I would be very curious to know how SoundByte is built... with the two functions added, it would be perfect! But the developper is not maintaining the OS9 version, I don't expect him to devote any energy on this...
