Quick Start
using OwnaudioNET;
using OwnaudioNET.Features.Vocalremover;
// Initialize the audio engine
OwnaudioNet.Initialize();
OwnaudioNet.Start();
// Create the audio mixer using the underlying engine
var mixer = new AudioMixer(OwnaudioNet.Engine.UnderlyingEngine);
mixer.Start();
// Play an audio file
var music = new FileSource("music.mp3");
mixer.AddSource(music);
// Synchronized Multi-track Playback (Master Clock)
var vocals = new FileSource("vocals.wav");
var backing = new FileSource("backing.mp3");
mixer.AddSource(vocals);
mixer.AddSource(backing);
// Attach sources to the Master Clock for sample-accurate sync
vocals.AttachToClock(mixer.MasterClock);
backing.AttachToClock(mixer.MasterClock);
// Start sources individually
vocals.Play();
backing.Play();
// Network Synchronization - Multi-Device Audio
// Server mode (control device)
await OwnaudioNet.StartNetworkSyncServerAsync(port: 9876);
// Client mode (follower devices)
await OwnaudioNet.StartNetworkSyncClientAsync(
serverAddress: "192.168.1.100", // Or null for auto-discovery
allowOfflinePlayback: true);
// All clients automatically follow server commands
// Perfect for multi-room audio, DJ setups, installations
