Feeding Soundfiles to FAUST Standalone Apps

The FAUST standalone apps we have considered thus far expect sound input in real time, such as from your computer's microphone input. Sometimes it is handy to be able to feed a prerecorded soundfile instead. Below we will discuss two approaches to soundfile processing in FAUST:

1. Offline Processing -- an output soundfile is created from the input soundfile and no time-varying manipulation of processing parameters is possible, much like when running sox on a soundfile.

2. Real Time Processing -- the input soundfile is processed in real time, allowing parameter manipulation and audio monitoring.
