I can't get the AVAudioUnitEQ
to work.
Here's a piece of code that should filter out everything except 659.255Hz +/-0.05 octaves:
// Create Audio Engine
var audioEngine = AVAudioEngine()
// Create Equalizer Node
var equalizerNode = AVAudioUnitEQ(numberOfBands: 1)
var epualizerParameters: AVAudioUnitEQFilterParameters = equalizerNode.bands.first as AVAudioUnitEQFilterParameters
epualizerParameters.filterType = .BandPass
epualizerParameters.frequency = 659.255
epualizerParameters.bandwidth = 0.05
epualizerParameters.bypass = false
audioEngine.attachNode(equalizerNode)
// Configure Audio Engine
var format = audioEngine.inputNode.inputFormatForBus(0)
audioEngine.connect(audioEngine.inputNode, to: equalizerNode, format: format)
audioEngine.connect(equalizerNode, to: audioEngine.outputNode, format: format)
// Start Audio Engine
var error:NSError?
audioEngine.startAndReturnError(&error)
However, when I run it, put on my headphones and sing into the microphone, I can hear myself loud and clear.
Now, according to Wikipedia, the Band Pass filter is:
... a device that passes frequencies within a certain range and rejects (attenuates) frequencies outside that range.
What am I doing wrong? I want to filter out everything except given frequency range.
