Measuring and Improving UI Performance with the JUCE C++ Framework - Anthony Nicholls - ADC 2025
---

This session provides a hands-on approach to optimising JUCE GUI performance through interactive demonstrations with measurable before-and-after performance comparisons.

We'll focus on three key optimisation topics:

1. Component hierarchy
In this section we'll dive into the details of how JUCE traverses components while drawing, taking a look at some of the ways you can influence this using setOpaque, setPaintingIsUnclipped, and setBufferedToImage. We'll also discuss the ""leaf node only"" drawing pattern to see how it can help avoid some surprising performance pitfalls.

2. Paint function
We'll look at Paths, Transforms, Text rendering with GlyphArrangement, and some useful caching techniques, to see how we can reduce the workload required in each of our paint calls.

3. Platform-specific
Finally we'll explore the strategic use of platform-specific optimisations such as setBackupEnabled for transient image caching in the Windows Direct2D renderer, and discussing when you should and shouldn't enable JUCE_COREGRAPHICS_RENDER_WITH_MULTIPLE_PAINT_CALLS on macOS.

Real-Time Raytraced Acoustics for Games – Anton Lundberg – ADCx Copenhagen 2026

Real-Time Raytraced Acoustics for Games: Dynamic Reverb with IR Synthesis & Time-Varying Convolution - Anton Lundberg - ADCx Copenhagen 2026
---

Real-time acoustics in games is often a trade-off: either dynamic, geometry-driven systems with limited detail, or high-quality impulse responses (IRs) that are static and precomputed.

This session presents a hybrid GPU-CPU approach that bridges that gap by synthesizing spatial IRs at runtime from scene geometry, and using them for time-varying convolution in a real-time audio pipeline. In particular, the approach combines raytraced IR synthesis on the GPU with real-time convolution on the CPU, and continuously updates IRs using hybrid time- and frequency-domain crossfading.

Beyond physical modeling, the talk also covers GPU-accelerated post-processing techniques that shape raytraced IRs into perceptually dense and controllable reverberation, and how this enables a flexible authoring model for sound designers.

The approach enables physically grounded acoustics to be used in dynamic game worlds without sacrificing creative control. It is currently integrated into the development of an upcoming open-world title at Elemental Games, using Elias Audio middleware.

How I Learned to Love the Docs: Documentation As Design Process for Music Tech Products – Astrid Bin

How I Learned to Love the Docs - Documentation As Design Process for Music Tech Products - Astrid Bin - ADC 2025
---

Product documentation is often seen as a ""nice-to-have"" that comes at the end of the design and implementation process, and something that few small teams have time for. But for audio products - notoriously complex, serving a multitude of styles and purposes, usually with a conceptual model that isn't obvious to newcomers - communicating what a product does and how it works is crucial. So what do you do if there's no one to produce documentation?

I'm a music tech designer who has learned to love the docs. In this talk I'll share why I think documentation is so important (to you as well as your customers), how I learned to get good at writing it, and why I think it's a vital aspect of design. I'll explain how I think about docs (and some good examples), and through a case study of my first big user manual, I'll describe why I think documentation is secret the superpower design skill. In case you want to go straight home and write some documentation, I'll also prodvide suggestions of how to approach docs, when to start them, some tools I've found useful, and how to leverage the power of documentation to improve your products while they're still being developed.

How to Write Scalable, Deterministic Audio Engines - Janus Lynggaard Thorborg - ADCx Copenhagen 2026
---

Does it sound familiar to have the UI responsiveness drop as audio load increases, or have audio stuttering under intensive UI operations?
That an audio track sounds different every time it’s rendered?
And that you end up with a system that seems very hard to test without instabilities or generous timeouts and tolerance?

In this talk we’ll take a brief look at the technology, approaches and architecture you can employ to improve the lives of your own engineering department and build better software for your users!

We’ll identify common pitfalls like atomic variables (!), performance mitigation strategies that may end up hurting and why it could make sense to take a page from graphics architecture in terms of how you may want to structure your interprocess communication. A suggested approach will be evaluated for benefits and tradeoffs.

PolyBLEP & PolyBLAMP Demystified – Nis Wegmann – ADCx Copenhagen 2026

https://audio.dev/ -- @audiodevcon​
---

PolyBLEP & PolyBLAMP Demystified - Nis Wegmann - ADCx Copenhagen 2026
---

In this presentation from the Audio Developer Conference, Nis Wegmann demystifies the mathematical concepts behind PolyBLEP (polynomial band-limited step) and PolyBLAMP (polynomial band-limited ramp) techniques used to suppress aliasing in virtual analog oscillators. Geometric waveforms such as square, sawtooth, and triangle waves naturally produce harsh digital aliasing due to infinite harmonics folding back over the Nyquist frequency. Wegmann demonstrates the audible difference between naive signal generation and alias-free synthesis using these DSP correction methods.

Rather than relying on computationally heavy oversampling and filtering, the BLEP and BLAMP algorithms resolve aliasing by localizing corrections directly at the discontinuities of the waveform. Wegmann breaks down the relationship between these functions, tracing their roots back to the integration of a band-limited impulse. To transition these theoretical concepts into a highly efficient runtime implementation, the session explains how to approximate the infinite sinc function using cubic Catmull-Rom Hermite splines.

The talk concludes with a fully functional, self-contained C++ code walkthrough demonstrating a real-time anti-aliased oscillator. Wegmann outlines the step-by-step logic of tracking sub-sample discontinuities, shifting the correction polynomial, and applying it directly to a running sample buffer. This presentation provides audio developers and virtual analog designers with a clear, practical roadmap to deriving and programming efficient polynomial-based oscillators.

Mind the Spike – Benchmarking for Worst-Case Execution Time in Realtime Code – Christian Luther

Mind the Spike - Benchmarking for Worst-Case Execution Time in Realtime Code - Christian Luther - ADC 2025
---

What’s the longest your audio callback will ever take?

On modern CPUs, execution time is anything but consistent. Cache misses, pipeline stalls, thread contention, and OS jitter introduce variability—and occasionally, catastrophic outliers. These rare spikes are exactly what can break realtime audio, yet they’re nearly impossible to capture with conventional benchmarking. After all, how do you know the longest time you saw… really was the longest?

This talk introduces Extreme Value Theory (EVT) as a practical framework for analyzing the worst-case execution time of realtime-critical code. We’ll look at how to apply EVT to benchmark data, how to interpret the results, and how this method can reveal serious system-level issues that may only surface once in a million callbacks.

Attendees will leave with actionable techniques for measuring, analyzing, and reasoning about the statistical edge cases of their code’s timing behavior—gaining stronger confidence in the robustness of their audio systems.
