Our Ultra-Processed Interfaces - What Music Technology Can Learn From Doritos - Astrid Bin - ADC 2024
---

Many digital musical instruments, both commercial and otherwise, share similar interface design characteristics like rectangular rubber pads, piano interfaces, sliders, and grids of controls. These conventions are useful, but where do they come from, and why are they so ubiquitous?

In this talk I dive deep into how the design conventions of music interfaces have evolved, and how traditionally they're deeply rooted in the culture in which they're created ... until recently. I discuss how this decoupling of musical interfaces from cultural context has developed alongside the larger contemporary trend of "ultra-processing", a way of creating consumable products, from food to media to devices, that are engineered for maximum consumption. I describe how this idea of ultra-processing can be observed in digital musical interfaces, as well as the larger social, economic, and cultural effects of ultra-processing on our musical outputs. Along with a historical and theoretical perspective on interface design, this talk discusses ways that we might adopt an informed and critical standpoint when creating interfaces for ourselves, and for others.

Challenges in Real-Time Physical Modelling for Sound Synthesis - Silvin Willemsen - ADC 2024
---

Although the field of physical modelling for sound synthesis goes back to the early 60s, real-time implementation of complex physical models has only recently become possible. During my research in the in the real-time physical modelling field over the last couple of years, I learned a few lessons I would like to share in this talk. Furthermore, drawing from my experience gained during the development of Atoms, a physical modelling synthesiser I developed for BABY Audio, this talk will address the main challenges of physical modelling in real-time audio plugins (or at least, those that I encountered). The presentation will include with some tips and tricks for developing physical modelling plugins using JUCE, as well as what to expect from the end-users when releasing a physical modelling plugin.

Learning While Building – MVPs, Prototypes, and the Importance of Physical Gesture – Roth Michaels – ADC 2024

https://audio.dev/ -- @audiodevcon​

Learning While Building - MVPs, Prototypes, and the Importance of Physical Gesture - Roth Michaels - ADC 2024
---

The “build, measure, learn” loop and the importance of iterating on “working software” brought to us by the eXtreme Programming (XP) and Agile Software Development movements is now an essential part of 21st century software development. The ability to iterate, learn, and pivot becomes even more valuable in fast moving industries like digital audio. We can increase our pace of learning and iteration by not only embracing these techniques from XP and Agile by bringing the learning process earlier before you begin to write “working software.”

Will people even want what I’m building? A discussion of Lean Software Development will illuminate ways a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) can be built to get external feedback from the market while writing little—or hopefully no—code. After covering general examples of MVPs, we will look at some fantasy audio plug-in MVP examples as well discuss how MVPs were used to test some currently shipping audio plug-ins.

There is also internal learnings to be gained about the thing we are building: enter the world of prototyping. We will discuss the differences between MVPs and prototypes, how to use both for learning, and about different types of software and non-software prototyping. After a tour of example prototypes, we will look at some prototyping tools useful for digital audio: starting from one of the oldest tools on the block Max (or now Max4Live) to some of the latest community built tools for prototyping machine learning within the DAW.

This tour of user research, MVPs, and prototyping will show many ways to learn along your software development process, but at the end of our journey we will see that there are learnings about an idea that can only be obtained by combining physical gesture with audio feedback.

GPU Based Audio Processing Platform with AI Audio Effects – Simon Schneider – ADCxGather 2024

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

GPU Based Audio Processing Platform with AI Audio Effects - Are GPUs ready for real-time processing in live sound engineering? - Simon Schneider - ADCxGather 2024
---

Parallelising real-time audio effects requires complex task management and synchronisation. GPUs are optimised for parallel processing while still retaining flexible scheduling comparable to a CPU. As a result, it combines the strengths of both DSPs and CPUs in a single device. In addition, recent trends advocate using AI audio processing algorithms, which work best on GPU architectures.

This thesis presents an implementation of an embedded GPU-based audio processing framework on an Nvidia Jetson hardware platform. It can combine neural network inference and other audio effects into signal graphs that process within periods as small as 32 frames (0.667ms).

The signal graph does not restrict the number and combination of parallel and serial audio effects as long as the real-time limit is met. Therefore, the framework has been tested on large numbers of parallel channels, as found in a mixing console, and complex routing options available in high-end audio effect processors, such as the Neural DSP Quad Cortex.

Launching GPU work using the CUDA graph API produces better stability and performance than was observed using the CUDA stream API in a 2017 study. Processing a signal graph that fully utilises the Jetson's resources by mimicking a 64-channel mixing console on a 128-frame (2.67ms) period has a higher than 99% success rate. However, occasional stalling on the GPU can produce worst-case execution times of up to 20ms, regardless of the loaded audio effects. As a result, the framework can not yet be classified as real-time capable.
Further study of the CUDA scheduler and improvements to the operating system and audio driver may be able to achieve real-time capability in the future.

Simon Schneider

Simon is a musician based in Winterthur. After completing his Bachelor's Degree in IT he realized that he could combine his passion for music and software engineering in audio development. As a result, he went on to complete a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering to learn about signal processing and hardware programming. During this time he was working part-time in the ZHAW Institute of Embedded Systems. There he developed an audio effects processing platform on an Nvidia Jetson GPU as part of his Master Thesis.

His bandmates will say, that playing the guitar is just an excuse to justify all the money he spends on music-related gear. While this is not entirely untrue, Simon is the type of programmer who spends days automating or streamlining a repetitive process that takes minutes to complete manually.
As a result, automating guitar effect changes or building a wireless InEar monitoring rack for shorter live show setup and teardown times simply requires a lot of gear.

Furthermore, Simon has a flair for modular and customizable software architecture. Since audio gear often lacks both of these qualities, he endeavours to make them a primary focus in all his audio development projects.

A Critique of Audio Plug-In Formats - VST, AU, AAX, JUCE and Beyond - Fabian Renn-Giles - ADC 2024
---

Audio plug-in formats such as VST, AU, and AAX have revolutionized the audio workflow, empowering a whole industry of creative coders. However, as programming paradigms and user expectations evolve, the design decisions of these established formats must be re-evaluated. This talk critically examines these design choices, exploring how they can be improved, and there is a new contender: CLAP.

The presentation is divided into two sections: a developer-focused critique and a customer-centric analysis. The developer-focused section delves into fundamental design flaws in plug-in APIs, such as stateful lifecycle management, poor single-use interface design, and why the overarching synchronous “process block” design may become quickly outdated with ever-increasing specialized hardware. The talk also discusses more audio plug-in specific issues like ambiguous parameter/state ownership, the limited utility of the “maxSamplesPerBlock” parameter, and what we can learn from Linux about negotiating bus formats.

The second section critiques audio plug-ins from the user’s standpoint. The talk explores major pain points such as lack of portability, cumbersome copy-protection mechanisms, and the archaic practice of plug-in scanning. The section concludes with a call-to-action for the industry to adopt unified standards as the only real solution to these problems.

Performance Implications of Frequency Domain Crossfading for Time-Varying FIR Filtering – iustin sandu – ADC 2024

https://audio.dev/ -- @audiodevcon​

Performance Implications of Frequency Domain Crossfading for Time-Varying FIR Filtering - iustin sandu - ADC 2024
---

A common strategy to avoid audible artifacts when exchanging impulse responses used for convolution with audio signals at runtime is to use a simple crossfade. This often requires more than double the amount of operations by filtering the input signal with both impulse responses separately (often in the frequency domain), and blending the resulting signals in the time-domain. If the crossfade was applied in the frequency domain, one IFFT operation could be eliminated, at the cost of two direct convolutions between the two signal spectra with the blending functions. Most of the time however, transforming each filtered signal separately back into the time domain before blending is still significantly faster than applying the blending function through convolution in the frequency domain. With a carefully chosen blending function, direct convolution of the spectra could be faster than the time-domain multiplication. We look at why and how this technique might work and the associated performance implications.
