I could not figure out AVAudioEngine with aggregate device... after a week’s struggle. The thing is, I created aggregate device but audio engine does not want to stream after device switch. I tried release the audio engine then create a new one, some random error will show up. AudioKit also does no better than that.

This API is so hard to use also poorly documented, no good example I could find. Anyway, I can only do single device switch in the app, but that seems good enough for now.

I want to start backend work as soon as possible, which will be next week. I tested out Google Cloud and it is amazing, this is a totally different experience than AWS.

It seems super easy to deploy a backend with it’s built-in Eclipse IDE and terminal, without considering anything regarding to deployment which is what I want to avoid.

I think this will be the route to go for now, a simple backend on Google Cloud, attached a noSql database. Let’s see how it work out.
