I am a music technology student and I've recently picked up learning C++ as it would greatly help my career knowing a programming language, especially this one since it is used in the video games industry.
Anyways onto the main topic. What I want to create is a program (in C++) that lets the user load a 16bit linear PCM WAVE file. Then I want to manipulate the audio sample data within that wave file. I want to either remove every nth sample or randomise them within a certain parameter (±10%). Then write it as a new WAVE file.
I am familier with the structure of WAVE files and the RIFF header. I also at the moment use Xcode as my IDE (since my macbook pro is my work computer), but I can code on my PC if necessary using codeblocks.
So in simple terms it should display something similar to this? I know there are errors in this, just so you get an idea of what I'm after:
Code: Select all
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class main() //function start
{
string fileinput; //variable
string outlocation; //variable
cout << "please type file path directory: n n";
cin >> fileinput; //navigate to file by typing
cout << "Where would you like to save new file? n n";
cin >> outlocation; //select output by typing
// Then all the maths and manipulation is done
cout << "Your file has been created at ";
cout << outlocation;
cout << "n n";
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Is it possible to do this in Xcode, if at all? What libraries would I need? I hope its simpler than I think it is.
Thankyou for your help and time.
