You can keep much of your C++ by using ObjectiveC++. I didn't know it existed when I first did a C++ port and tried doing things the hard way - operator overloading is one thing that just can't be faked in pure ObjC.

Look at Core Audio, NSSound, AVFoundation etc. You probably want to use AudioQueues, like I did for this: https://github.com/uliwitness/ULIMelodyQueue > The code is mainly written in C++. I've made a list of common pitfalls people encounter when porting from Windows, many of those might also be helpful in your case: http://orangejuiceliberationfront.com/porting-to-the-macintosh/ > Do you believe I should learn C++ and Cocoa with/on Objective C before I > start?

You definitely should know the programming languages you want to use. So if your original code is C++, you should definitely learn that language. If you want to code for the Mac, you will have to write at least the user interface in Objective C. Depending on your level of experience in programming in general, you should be able to write your own Cocoa application once you've worked your way through Hillegass' book. The C++ parts will probably take longer to learn, but if you just want to understand what the original program did and write your own version in C/ObjC, you don't need as deep an understanding.
