I can't wrap my head around this. I read everywhere (rightly) that Audiokit lifecyle should be managed in a singleton and kept away from the View Controllers lifecyle. Then I checked all the example project's code and found a bit confusing that
AudioKit.start()
is always called in ViewDidload. But anyway thats not my real issue..
I have multiple ViewControllers that uses the AKMicrophone in a different way. For instance they need different categories, different AKSettings, and some must be plain microphones while some needs a long chain of initialization with effects and mixers (Just like the "Recorder" example project).
I have two related questions here:
I read on Github that when we change the routing or category, we need to reinitialize the AudioKit. But in this case where do we really do it? In my case I really only can think of "
ViewWillAppear". (if Mic needs to start listening without needing a button click, with a different setup)And real question is how do I do this correctly at all? For example in my project AKMicrophone is set up just like the "Recorder" example but in a Singleton class. And when I switch to another ViewController which requires a "plain" AKMicrohone right after view appears. How do I remove all those mixers and delays from the chain? This is not only a matter of changing some AKSetting and restarting the engine.
