PortAudio Tutorial

Compiling for ASIO (Windows or Macintosh)

ASIO is a low latency audio API from Steinberg. To compile an ASIO application, you must first download the ASIO SDK from Steinberg. You also need to obtain ASIO drivers for your audio device.

Note: I am using '/' as a file separator below. On Macintosh replace '/' with ':'. On Windows, replace '/' with '\'.

 To use ASIO with the PortAudio library add the following source files to your project:

pa_asio/pa_asio.cpp

and also these files from the ASIO SDK:

common/asio.cpp
host/asiodrivers.cpp
host/asiolist.cpp

and add these directories to the path for include files

asiosdk2/host/pc   (for Windows)
asiosdk2/common
asiosdk2/host

You may try compiling the "pa_tests/patest_saw.c" file first because it is the simplest.
