I am building a music visualizer in Quartz Composer, and it works just fine. The problem is that the audio input is through a microphone, so any noise that I make while its running displays.

What I want it to do is take only the sound that is running digitally through the system. Not a line input, but whats running through the Mixer AU for output in the system. I haven't found any way to do this except for WireTap, but I don't want a demo and I can't currently afford the full version.

Thanks in advance.

Try Cycling 74's Soundflower to route audio between applications.

You might also want to check out Kineme AudioTools, which provides more analysis capability than QC's built-in Audio Input patch.

  • Thanks, but I can't seem to configure Itunes to run through SoundFlower...Any help? – Jon Egeland May 12 '11 at 00:32
  • Under System Preferences > Sound > Output, you can choose Soundflower as the default system output device — this will affect sound output from iTunes. – smokris May 12 '11 at 04:14
