Win2D VS NAudio

For Windows only, Win2D!

You're looking for Win2D: https://github.com/microsoft/Win2D. It's the official D2D WinRT wrapper, supports UWP and WinUI, has seamless interior with XAML, it's very easy to use and has extensive interop APIs (even more so once we ship the next release) that give you maximum control if needed. I recommend checking it out 🙂

Your easiest bet is likely to use Win2D within UWP or WinUI 3, then you could just throw a CanvasControl as the root of your UI and draw whatever you want on it, including setting individual pixels. Alternatively an easy way to do that could be to use a WriteableBitmap in WPF/UWP/WinUI 3 just drawn into a root Border or something, and then you can easily manipulate pixels there. Of course, that'd be slower and not CPU accelerated, but still viable depending on your exact use case.

Alternatively you can also try Win2D, which is an official wrapper for D2D available for UWP and WinUI. You could use its CanvasAnimatedControl panel and then do your drawing from there, and just manually draw all your particles. The actual drawing would still be GPU accelerated, so it'd be relatively efficient (though less than using a custom shader, as you'd be queueing each particle from the CPU side).

To make a long story short, it's a UWP app since I've used DirectX 11 for drawing on the screen. I use C#, and I needed win2d (https://github.com/microsoft/Win2D)

Universal Windows Platform was introduced as the new hotness, but in my personal experience lacks a number of features from WPF I couldn't part with. It seems to have flopped a bit outside of applications developed by Microsoft. Projects that I though would bring features I really wanted (like win2d: GitHub - microsoft/Win2D) seem to have lost support. I'd hold off on this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have to rewrite most of the audio signal processing code anyway as I am using NAudio currently. Have heard of PiSound before, and will definitely check it out as it is pretty popular. I just need a way to output an array of numbers, representing the processed sound wave, to turn into an analog signal. Writing this from scratch is unnecessarily complicated when these libraries already exist.

Not tried it but there is also NAudio (https://github.com/naudio/NAudio)

I’ve used NAudio for this. You get Windows support for free, and it’s not too difficult to implement for other platforms. I have gists published for Android and iOS that should get you going.

This might help: NAudio, they have a doc file for working with pitch here

Hello. I'm working on a school assignment where I'm creating an application where the user can play .wav files slowed down to 0.5 speed. I'm using Naudio and Varispeed to accomplish this. There is a varispeed demo that shows how to do it and from what I can tell, I'm doing more or less the exact same in my code as the demo. But the wave file is played in the normal speed anyways. Does anyone have a clue on what I'm doing wrong?
