I am working on audio recording. I am able to record my audio in caf (Core audio format).i followed this tutorial Recording Audio on an iPhone with AVAudioRecorder. Now I don't want to record sound in .aac format directly, I need to convert recorded .caf audio file into .aac audio file... any idea how to do this?

Try this
step 1) I have downloaded sample TPAACAudioConverter project from https://github.com/michaeltyson/TPAACAudioConverter
step 2)AACConverterViewController.m
i have set source file and destination file format
- (IBAction)convert:(id)sender {
if ( ![TPAACAudioConverter AACConverterAvailable] ) {
[[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Converting audio", @"")
message:NSLocalizedString(@"Couldn't convert audio: Not supported on this device", @"")
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @""), nil] autorelease] show];
return;
}
// Initialise audio session, and register an interruption listener, important for AAC conversion
if ( !checkResult(AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, interruptionListener, self), "initialise audio session") ) {
[[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Converting audio", @"")
message:NSLocalizedString(@"Couldn't initialise audio session!", @"")
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @""), nil] autorelease] show];
return;
}
// Set up an audio session compatible with AAC conversion. Note that AAC conversion is incompatible with any session that provides mixing with other device audio.
UInt32 audioCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback;
if ( !checkResult(AudioSessionSetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory, sizeof(audioCategory), &audioCategory), "setup session category") ) {
[[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Converting audio", @"")
message:NSLocalizedString(@"Couldn't setup audio category!", @"")
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @""), nil] autorelease] show];
return;
}
NSArray *documentsFolders = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
audioConverter = [[[TPAACAudioConverter alloc] initWithDelegate:self
source:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"audio" ofType:@"aiff"]
destination:[[documentsFolders objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"audio.m4a"]] autorelease];
((UIButton*)sender).enabled = NO;
[self.spinner startAnimating];
self.progressView.progress = 0.0;
self.progressView.hidden = NO;
[audioConverter start];
}
play converted audio
- (IBAction)playConverted:(id)sender {
if ( audioPlayer ) {
[audioPlayer stop];
[audioPlayer release];
audioPlayer = nil;
[(UIButton*)sender setTitle:@"Play converted" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
} else {
NSArray *documentsFolders = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *path = [[documentsFolders objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"audio.aac"];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
[audioPlayer play];
[(UIButton*)sender setTitle:@"Stop" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
}
step 3)TPAACAudioConverter.m
simply i have changed audio file type find and replace kAudioFileM4AType into kAudioFileAAC_ADTSType
