As promised, here are my slides and demo code for my recent 360iDev (Austin 2010) talk.  It’s a walkthrough of how to setup and use the FMOD (fmod.org) audio engine on iOS.  It also shows how to do some simple beat detection to drive visualizations.  Enjoy!

For those of you wondering how I managed to get such an “objectionable” application through the review process, it turned out to be quite simple.  Drum roll please … My super awesome technique boils down to doing absolutely nothing to Judge Scrabby.  That’s right, nada, zilch, zero.  I simply resubmitted the binary that had been previously rejected.  I must have had this app store reviewer the first time through ;-).

Now go play some Scrabble.  You know you want to.
