HulaLoop

**Team Members:**

Aneesh Gokhale, Emanuel Pituch, John McKernan, Neel Patel

**Problem Statemenet:**

There are many technologies for capturing and routing system-wide audio. These technologies vary widely by operating system and can be difficult for developers to interact with and for users to understand. While there are existing technologies that provide a loopback interface for capturing this audio, their features are limited, and none are completely cross-platform. By delivering a library for developers and an easy-to-use UI for average consumers, anyone should be able to visualize, capture, and use their system audio as they see fit.

**Project Objectives:**

• Develop a cross-platform application to standardize and streamline the loopback process for both users and developers
• Create an intuitive user interface for simple audio processing (EQ, clipping, etc.)
• Design an export process that allows the user to save their recorded audio to various locations (Google Drive, Dropbox, local storage, etc.)
• Write a well documented API to ensure maintainability and usability of the project

**Project Deliverables:**

• Front-end Qt Quick application that allows users to visualize and export their audio
• Command line interface supporting a similar set of features to the UI
• C++ backend that processes audio and interacts with the OS
• Use WASAPI, JACK, ALSA, and CMake to develop an extensible, cross-platform library for other developers to include in their projects (Windows, OSX, Linux)
• Documented API
