  • Low latency queues in Rust ecosystem

    https://github.com/mgeier/rtrb is about as fast as you can get an spsc queue.

    Thanks! Your link lead me to https://github.com/mgeier/rtrb/issues/39 where they compare to different queues. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you again!

    Nice! Would love to see benchmarks against the other ring buffer crates, like in these comparisons: https://github.com/mgeier/rtrb/issues/39

    I'm continuing to work on a new musical live performance software, Moiré. I just figured out how to make use of dynamically sized Vecs without allocating or deallocating in the audio thread using basedrop and rtrb. I'm using SixtyFPS for the GUI.

  • Resources for audio decoding?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 14 Jul 2022
    If you're also interested in real-time disk streaming of audio then there's this crate (which uses symphonia for decoding): https://github.com/MeadowlarkDAW/creek.
  • Modify pitch and volume while a sound file is playing

    Rodio is high level and likely not really suited to what you're trying to do. Rodio is nice if you just want to play sound files and don't care about the details. If you want to manipulate audio in realtime, Creek is likely a better fit. You can take a look how I am combining Creek and Rubato for realtime tempo changes in the DJ application I am writing.

    I'm using this creek library from RustyDAW for realtime safe decoding of audio files. It can also record to WAV. It would likely be useful for project as well.
