  • Amiga/Linux: Jurassic Boing Edition
    2 projects | /r/amiga | 30 Oct 2023
    Unfortunately, I can't currently capture any videos (I added miniaudio.h to play back the Jurassic Park theme song) since I had to move my mom into my home (she's getting a divorce from her narcissistic husband soon and the guy lost his marbles and locked her out of her own home) and it's late at night currently.
  • Audio Library
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 9 Jul 2023
    miniaudio - so far the best entry in cross platform audio. It is a stack allowing to use device alone, decoders and mixers, or node based engine for sophisticated audio processing. Extensible where it should be. Written in C, so there are no creature comforts of having C++. Aways can be wrapped to get advantage of RAII.
  • Dunno if anyone else will find this useful

    You give little clues what this is… so cl-miniaudio defines CFFI bindings to https://miniaud.io/ which is "an audio playback and capture library for C and C++. It's made up of a single source file, has no external dependencies and is released into the public domain." and is cross-platform.

    * Miniaudio - A single header file audio library https://miniaud.io/

    Both (actually, not just three systems) cross-platform.

    For their design and cross-platform support they make for great bases for Go libraries, unlike most C code out there.

  • raylib 4.2 released!
    12 projects | /r/raylib | 11 Aug 2022
    New audio stream processors API (experimental): Now real-time audio stream data processors can be added using callbacks to played Music. It allows users to create custom effects for audio like delays of low-pass-filtering (example provided). The new API uses a callback system and it's still _ highly experimental_, it differs from the usual level of complexity that provides raylib and it is intended for advance users. It could change in the future but, actually, raudio module is in the spotlight for future updates; miniaudio implements a new higher-level API that can be useful in the future for raylib.

    yes! i use it a lot! big shoutout to david reid for making the miniaudio library ( https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio ), and to s-ol (https://github.com/s-ol) for implementing the initial windows loopback code.

    miniaudio might be right up your alley.
  • What kind of good multiplatform audio API exists?
    2 projects | /r/C_Programming | 1 Dec 2021
    I am partial to single-header style libraries, and so I'd recommend miniaudio.
  • How does a Game Engine work? An Overview
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Nov 2021
    The verdict for indie developers (not using Unity/Unreal) seems: just bite the bullet and buy FMOD (or Wwise or any of the popular proprietary audio engies).

    I was actually searching for a good open-source audio library to use, and found out that my options aren't that good. SoLoud is a pain in the ass to install and integrate into an existing codebase, and OpenAL doesn't have any good implementations available (either proprietary or LGPL). I'm now just using a simple single-header audio library in cute_headers (https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_s...), but will probably switch to MiniAudio once the high-level API is finished (https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio/issues/196)

  • Cross platform gameboy music tracker made using Qt
    4 projects | /r/cpp | 5 Aug 2021
    Here's my tracker that I've been working on for awhile now. This is my first real project with C++. I originally decided to learn C++ to do some audio programming, but ended up writing a gameboy APU emulator, which then turned into a full-fledged tracker as there's not much options for the gameboy. Anyways, the tracker uses Qt for the GUI, miniaudio for audio playback, and RtMidi for MIDI input. The tracker is inspired by Famitracker, and has similar instruments and effects.
