I just read a whole buncha stuff about coreAudio, sound, and the other frames that have anything to do with developing audio programs. Not that I understood all of what I read, but I am better off than I was before I did ( my head also feels quite stuffy). I think I need to get a serious objective-c/Cocoa training manual so that I can really get down into this. Most of the sample audio source code is however written in C++ something I am trying to avoid learning. I began learning it sometime ago in a computer science class, which I later found out I would not be doing....I had already written some of the exams when I was stopped. But I am not sure if I want to learn this right now. I have so many other things to learn. But I like objective-c. It's really easy to learn. I should be starting ruby on rails soon for a 6 month project that I have to do....anyway if anyone can help me pick up the basic audio programming stuff I would really appreciate it.

Didn't Apple announce that they are no longer developing the Cocoa-Java framework back in 2005? Seems like a bad idea to start working with a tool that's been dead for two years.
