SoundIn read audio from hardware inputs

SoundIn.ar(bus, mul, add)

SoundIn is a convenience UGen to read audio from the input of your computer or soundcard. It is a wrapper UGen based on In, which offsets the index such that 0 will always correspond to the first input regardless of the number of inputs present.

bus - the channel (or array of channels) to read in. These start at 0, which will correspond to the first audio input.

N.B. On Intel based Macs, reading the built-in microphone or input may require creating an aggregate device in AudioMIDI Setup.
