courtneydb I wonder if you could give me some supercollider pointers?
Just as you two I am using external mics with processing and Mac OS X.
I'm using a pair of mono USB mics that work fine in other applications such as garage band etc.
I have not managed to get processing to recognise them on their own or as an aggregate (created through the system utility: Audio MIDI Setup). When I choose one of the mics in System Prefs Processing ignores this and uses the built-in. If I use the aggregate device it just does not see sound at all.
I'd love to use Supercollider to pass through just as you the amplitude to change the behaviour of processing. I have used OSC in the past sending sensor data and video data back and forth between maxMSP and processing and iphone and ipad to maxMSP etc. That was when I was at working at a university with a MaxMSP licence.
So as I'm not an avid supercollider user (nor an audio person really!) I'd love if you had some pointers on streaming through those data points from Supercollider to Processing, especially on the Supercollider side.
I'm running OS X 10.7 processing 1.5.1 Java 1.6.0_29.
