Core Audio is the one of those tools that I know pretty well, and the reason people use Core Audio is because it is legitimately better than the other options out there. I recently had to retool my video rig to use ASIO on Windows for audio rather than Core Audio on an OS X sidecar and it's way more finicky and difficult to work with.
Metal has no such argument, to the best of my knowledge.
- AlphaSite 9y agoMetal predates Vulcan. It is also nice in someways in that its not a pure c api iirc.
- pjmlp 9y agoYep, fully OO, C++14 shaders and all the respective libraries for textures, fonts, scene definitions,.... Vulkan is the typical Khronos API, pure C, has the extension dance to find out what is available, just knows about pixels and for everything else everyone needs to go fishing for libraries.
- Phrodo_00 9y agoJust for curiosity, does it predate Mantle?
- AlphaSite 9y agoI think metal is based on mantle from before it was announced api understand it, DX12 is similar.
