    I wrote a DAW (https://ossia.io) and a few dozen plugins and I can assure you that most plug-ins don't add latency.

    > There is no way eliminate CPU cycles being spent on whatever the plugin does.

    that's not how DAW works, they don't output audio immediately anyways, everything is buffered at the driver level or just above so that there's always 1 or 2 buffers of delay between the input and the output.

    We went with Qt, CMake and modern C++ for https://ossia.io in 2013 knowing that it would be a long term effort for a linux/mac/windows desktop software aiming to do real-time audio, visuals and networking and so far this "classic" stack keeps on giving and allowing me to ship regular features and improvements, here's to the next ten years :) in the meantime I can't count how many techs and frameworks I've seen come and go but these are here to stay.

    IDK, I mostly use KDE apps and none of those are electron. The only web-browser thing I have open right now is firefox, everything else is pretty lean Qt apps: strawberry (RES 77 megabytes), dolphin (RES 61 megabytes), konsole (RES between 30 and 60-megabytes depending on my instance) the app I'm developing https://ossia.io (lean enough to run on a raspberry pi zero 2).

    Meanwhile, I have a dozen firefox processes each above 500M RES and a few above 1G...

  • ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script

    I added LLVM JIT support to ossia a few years ago, it's not too bad, but a big issue is that the JIT does not support all the necessary features used by the frontend in terms of relocations, etc. So it happens relatively often that C++ code will compile to LLVM IR without issue, but then fail at the JIT step because some relocation is not supported by the JIT engine yet.

    Most of the code is here : https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score... with the actual LLVM API interoperation contained there : https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score...

  • C++ Is an Absolute Blast
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Dec 2024
    The amount of high performance, production grade, massively tested libraries written in C++ is unbeatable. I will be honest here, it's easier to improve C++ security by implementing a compiler that produces safer C++ (like Typescript to Javascript) than rewriting everything in any other language (Rust, Zig, Odin, whatever).

    I mean, could you estimate the cost ($ and time) it would take to rewrite the best audio framework in any other language? (https://juce.com/).

    Personally, I started by writing externals for Pure Data, then started to contribute to the care. Later I took the same path for SuperCollider.

    The more typical path, I guess, would be to start with simple audio plugins. Have a look at JUCE (https://juce.com/)!

    Realtime audio programming has some rather strict requirements that you don't have in most other software. Check out this classic article: http://www.rossbencina.com/code/real-time-audio-programming-...

    You can definitely start putting C++ into your embedded projects, and get familiar with things in an environment in which you're already operating. A lot of great C++ code can be found with motivated use of, for example, the platformio tooling, such that you can see for yourself some existing C++ In Embedded scenarios.

    In general, also, I have found that it is wise to learn C++ socially - i.e. participate in Open Source projects, as you learn/study/contribute/assist other C++ developers, on a semi-regular basis.

    I've learned a lot about what I would call "decent C++ code" (i.e. shipping to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of customers) from such projects. I would suggest finding an open source C++ project, aligned with your interests, and study the codebase - as well as the repo history (i.e. gource) - to get a productive, relatively effortless (if the interests align) boost into the subject.

    (My particular favourite project is the JUCE Audio library: https://juce.com/ .. one of many hundreds of great projects out there from which one can also glean modern C++ practices..)

    Respect for the others here who recommend C but I think they’re possibly masochists. If anything JUCE, which uses C++ is in my opinion far more approachable.

  • Anyone here have experience writing VST audio plugins in C++, or 'wrapping'/converting a VST to an AU plug-in?
    6 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 4 Jun 2023
    It seems like most audio plug-ins are built in C++ inside an audio coding program called JUCE, so maybe if I could open up the exisiting code inside that and then output it as an AU instead of a VST that could work.

What are some alternatives?
