File Count Audit

✅ 23 source files (14 headers, 9 implementations) ✅ 5 CMakeLists.txt files for modular builds ✅ Complete namespace organization (WaveShaper::Core, WaveShaper::IO)

🏗️ CORE ARCHITECTURE VERIFICATION

1. AudioEngine (Playback & Device Management)

✅ AudioEngine::getInstance()           // Singleton pattern
✅ initialize(sampleRate)                // Audio device initialization
✅ createOscillator()                    // Voice management
✅ createADSR()                          // Envelope creation
✅ startPlayback() / stopPlayback()      // Playback control
✅ nextSample()                          // Audio callback integration
✅ miniaudio device integration          // Native audio I/O

2. Oscillator (Signal Generation)

✅ WaveType enum:                        // SINE, SQUARE, SAWTOOTH, NOISE
✅ setFrequency(Hz)                      // Adjustable pitch
✅ setType(WaveType)                     // Waveform selection
✅ nextSample()                          // Sample-by-sample generation
✅ reset()                               // Phase reset for exports
✅ phase accumulator                     // Continuous waveform synthesis

3. ADSR Envelope (Amplitude Control)

✅ State machine:                        // IDLE → ATTACK → DECAY → SUSTAIN → RELEASE
✅ setAttack/Decay/Release/Sustain()     // Envelope parameter configuration
✅ trigger()                             // Note-on event
✅ release()                             // Note-off event
✅ process(sample)                       // Real-time amplitude modulation
✅ getState() / getLevel()               // State inspection

4. Mixer (Voice Combining)

✅ IMixable interface                    // Abstraction for audio sources
✅ addSource()                           // Add oscillators/effects
✅ mix()                                 // Combine all voices
✅ Volume management                     // Prevent clipping

5. Filters (Signal Processing)

✅ LowPassFilter                         // One-pole cutoff control
✅ HighPassFilter                        // High-frequency removal
✅ Distortion                            // Soft-clipping with tanh saturation
✅ IEffect base class                    // Extensibility pattern

6. Export Formats (File I/O)

WAV Export

✅ PCM 16-bit format                     // Standard audio codec
✅ RIFF container                        // Valid WAV structure
✅ Multi-channel support                 // Mono/stereo ready
✅ Configurable sample rate              // 44.1kHz, 48kHz, etc.

CAF Export (Custom)

✅ Custom "CAFS" magic header            // Proprietary format
✅ Binary-efficient storage              // Float32 samples
✅ Metadata preservation                 // Sample rate, duration
✅ Game-engine optimized                 // Direct buffer loading

Procedural Export

✅ JSON-serialized recipes               // Human-readable format
✅ SynthRecipe struct:
    - oscillatorType (sine/square/sawtooth/noise)
    - frequency (Hz)
    - attackTime (seconds)
    - decayTime (seconds)
    - sustainLevel (0.0-1.0)
    - releaseTime (seconds)
    - filterCutoff (Hz)
    - filterType (lowpass/highpass)
    - distortionAmount (0.0-1.0)
    - description (metadata)

🧪 APPLICATION BEHAVIOR

main.cpp Execution Flow

1. Initialize AudioEngine (44100 Hz, Mono)
2. Create Oscillator instance (sine wave)
3. Create ADSR envelope (0.05/0.1/0.7/0.3 attack/decay/sustain/release)
4. Test real-time playback (2 seconds at 440 Hz)
5. Generate test samples (2-second, 880 Hz tone)
6. Export WAV format (16-bit PCM)
7. Export CAF format (binary custom format)
8. Export procedural recipe (JSON metadata)
9. Shutdown audio engine cleanly

Expected Console Output:

=== WaveShaper DAW v1.0 ===
Initializing audio engine...
AudioEngine initialized: 44100Hz, Mono
Starting audio playback for 2 seconds...
Playback started
Release phase (0.3 seconds)...
Playback stopped
Generating and exporting test tone...
WAV file exported successfully: test_output.wav
CAF file exported successfully: test_output.caf
Procedural recipe exported successfully: test_recipe.json
WaveShaper shutdown complete.
