RADSan: A Realtime-Safety Sanitizer - David Trevelyan & Ali Barker - ADC23
"ERROR: RealtimeSanitizer: call to malloc detected during execution of realtime function SketchyAlgorithm::process!"
We present RADSan, a realtime-safety sanitizer integrated into the LLVM project. Activated with a single argument to clang, RADSan allows developers to mark any function with a [[realtime]] attribute. At run time, realtime functions will error if RADSan detects activity that it knows is not realtime-safe.
Our talk will include:
• an introduction to sanitizers; what they do and how they work,
• an exploration of the realtime-safety testing problem space; what is (and what isn't) possible, and how this influenced RADSan's design,
• a deep-dive into the components of RADSan and how they work together
• a demonstration of how to use RADSan to mark functions as realtime and test a system's realtime safety
• an open discussion on how to best share this idea with the wider community

Generative Audio: Indian art, Computer music - George Panicker - ADCx India 2024
Generative music and audiovisuals have been the crux of the new media and music technology since time immemorial. The field has its legends and deities such as John Cage, Moog and Brian Eno. Yet the nature of procedural music and the "audio-visual" as an artform has an ancient history in the Indian subcontinent and its artistic foundations.
In this talk, New Media artist and Creative Technologist, George Panicker, will take the audience through a tour of the surprising connections between generative audio and Indian music and art theory, providing some interesting ideas for the future of indigenous instrumentation and music technology.

KEYNOTE: From NIME to NISE: Rethinking the Design and Evaluation of Musical Interfaces - Anna Xambó Sedó - ADC23
In this keynote talk, Anna will present her insights into designing and evaluating networked algorithmic spaces that support collaboration, participation, non-hierarchical structures and Do-it-yourself (DIY) practices for Sound and Music Computing (SMC) from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective. She will dissect the term New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) to propose instead the design and evaluation of 'NISEs', to accommodate the wider world of Sound-based music and art so that we can embrace other prototypes and systems that take into consideration other characteristics than 'new', 'interfaces/interactions', 'music' and 'expression'. We will look into a project that repurposes NIMEs as an educational tool; an AI-enhanced live-coding self-built environment that works as a customisable sampler of crowdsourced sounds; and a project related to creating natural NIMEs as interventions to the environment through sonic arts and sonification. The projects contribute to the vision of democratising SMC through the creation of technologies that can empower the community to solve real-world problems.

Exploring new opportunities in audio software development: an open dialog between mix engineers and audio software developers - Andrew Scheps - ADC 2023
Andrew Scheps has been working in record production for 35 years and has used all available technologies along the way (except wire recorders and wax cylinders). The advent of real time digital audio processing has obviously completely changed the industry in the last 30 years, but with the explosion of immersive formats and more complicated productions the wish list is ever changing. There has been a simultaneous explosion in tools that can be used to develop the solutions creators want and need. This will be an open discussion between audio developers and the end users who use their tools every day. The goal is to not only cover what professionals wish existed, but also what developers are excited about making.

Democratization of Audio Dev: How it Started, Where it's Going - Aurelius Prochazka
In 2018, I gave a keynote at the ADC Conference in London. In that keynote, I discussed how audio developers can benefit from opening development to all, and how to escape the errors of past and design for the future. What did I get wrong? Did I get anything right? In this talk I'll give an overview of where we are now and update where things might be going.
I'm Aurelius Prochazka, I am the founder of AudioKit, an open-source audio generation, processing, and analysis framework for the Apple ecosystem. I am a partner in AudioKitPro LLC, a company started to use the AudioKit framework to develop audio applications. Currently, AudioKit has delivered more synthesizer apps on iOS ever, including the most #1 charted music apps ever and the perennial global favorite, the free AudioKit Synth One.
In 2018 I traveled to London to give one of the keynotes for ADC in London. I have a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Processing Audio Post Production Deliverables at Scale with Microservice Architecture - Ryan Frias - ADCx SF
With the explosion of streaming services that operate on a global footprint, the audio mastering pipeline has ballooned to include as many as 765 unique language audio packages created from original, each of which needs to be quality checked, encoded and packaged for delivery. The process can take weeks and involves creative and technical teams working to make derivative versions which must preserve the original creative intent as much as possible. The "Coda" Automated Media Ecosystem is a new extensible software platform from Skywalker Sound that automates the creation of soundtrack versions and cuts the deliverable process down from weeks to faster-than real-time. The system has already been used on premium Disney+ releases such as The Mandalorian and Moon Knight.
By automating soundtrack mastering processing from the highest original source mix format (often the Dolby Atmos mix), the automatically derived versions can be created with the same fidelity and attention to detail as the original language, improving the experience for all consumers in international markets. As the process is automated without the possibility of human error, the need to QC each pass is reduced, resulting in better results for consumers and considerable time and cost savings for content owners.
The creation of this complex media pipeline ecosystem involved the integration of multiple programming languages, frameworks, environments and hardware systems for the full stack--from low-level digital signal processing, to high level scaffolds, such as a global service mesh.
