Audio Processing with MAUI

Real-time audio is one of those features that feels intimidating until someone walks you through it. This hands-on tutorial builds a MAUI voice-changer app end to end, combining Plugin.Maui.Audio for capture, NWaves for DSP effects, and SkiaSharp for a live waveform.

What you’ll learn

  • Project setup and the NuGet stack: Plugin.Maui.Audio, NWaves, and SkiaSharp.Views.Maui
  • Capturing microphone input with an AudioService and processing it with an AudioProcessor (pitch, echo, reverb, chorus)
  • Converting between byte[] and float[] buffers and playing processed audio back
  • Rendering a real-time waveform visualization with SkiaSharp
  • Advanced optimizations: zero-copy Memory<byte> buffers, NWaves CircularBuffer streaming, and platform-specific low-latency tuning plus mic-permission setup for Android and iOS

A fun, practical project if you want to get hands-on with real-time DSP on mobile — note it needs a physical device for the microphone.
