The Practices of Programming - and their application to Audio - Ilias Bergström - ADC 2025
---

How diverse are the ways that programming is done more generally, and audio programming specifically?

I’m sure all developers reading this can relate to the feeling that, for this particular moment in their work, they should approach the task in a particular way. There is a time for experimenting with code, for writing a throwaway sketch, tinkering, and of course, for meticulously engineering the best possible solution for a well-defined problem.

In this talk, I will discuss how there are distinct practices to employ for each of these mentioned contexts, and that there is not one right way to approach writing code. Instead, there is the right way, or even combination of ways, for the particular context at hand.

While a variety of accounts exist, each appears in isolation, neither framed in terms of a distinct practice, nor as one of many such practices.

Here I explore accounts spanning software engineering, bricolage/tinkering, sketching, live coding, code-bending, and hacking.

These practices of programming are analyzed, and related to concrete examples of Audio programming.

The conceptualization of practice helps to interpret recent interest in program code as craft material, and to inform programming education, tools, and creating software for work and for pleasure!aud

Free-Range Users Make for More Profitable DAWs – Why DAWs Should Prioritise Interchange Formats

ADCx Copenhagen - 28th April
ADC Bristol ​- 9th - 11th November

Free-Range Users Make for More Profitable DAWs - Why DAWs Should Prioritise Interchange Formats - Will Anderson - ADCx Gather 2025

Interchange formats for DAWs have a long history but an uneven track record. The CMX EDL format emerged in the early 1970s, AES31 has been around since 2001, and AAF and OMF provide ways to transfer project data between DAWs and NLEs. More recently, Bitwig’s DAWproject format shows that this area is still evolving. Yet despite the available standards, implementing interchange often remains a lower priority for many DAW developers compared to other features.

In this talk, we’ll explore why robust interchange support should be seen as a strategic feature rather than an afterthought. We’ll examine the technical and business benefits of enabling users to move sessions between tools, including increased user retention, enabling niche workflows, and added value even in the early stages of a DAW’s development.

Finally, drawing on real-world examples (including curious bugs encountered while working with AES31 exports) we’ll cover why a poorly implemented interchange format can do more harm than good, and share practical tips for avoiding common pitfalls. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of both the technical challenges and the potential rewards of opening their DAWs to “free-range” users.

Will Anderson

Will Anderson is a classical recording engineer, software developer, and video editor. A graduate of the Tonmeister course at the University of Surrey, he has spent the past decade recording classical music and creating a range of tools (both software and hardware) to improve the speed, ease and accuracy of classical music production. His recent projects include systems for aligning multi-camera video recordings to audio edits from classical DAWs and developing tools for 360-degree immersive virtual ensemble performances.

As a freelancer, Will works across audio engineering, video production, and software development, helping people solve unique technical challenges in music, media, and science. He's a big fan of tackling tricky workflow problems and finding elegant technical solutions.

Docker for the Audio Developer - Olivier Petit - ADC 2024
---

Most of you have probably heard of Docker, had to use it to deploy some service or application or are using regularly in your workflow.

The aim of this talk is to provide everyone with useful takeaways, regardless of your current level of knowledge.

We will be looking at the problems that containerisation is aiming to solve, how Docker implements it, and go through some basic use cases.

As we are all curious, we will not miss the opportunity to peek under the hood in order to understand the Linux kernel features that make Docker possible.

Finally, we will be looking at two real use cases:

- Using Docker as part of a CI system, to easily manage a build environment, and touching on the "Docker in Docker" problem
- Using Docker to host third party audio applications on a Linux powered read-time audio processing box, allowing audio routing between them.

Olivier Petit

After an MSc in Integrated Circuit design, I have joined the Software and Creative department of L-Acoustics in 2018 as a C++ software engineer. Since then, I have been part of our mission to better connect the world’s best artists with their audiences, ensuring everyone gets the sound quality they deserve. Every day we are tackling the challenge of finding ways to deploy audio solution at the largest scale without any compromise on sound quality and system reliability. We are always putting the audience and our users in the centre, making sure all our products, from hardware to software, are as intuitive and easy to use as possible.

Unlike most of my peers, I’m ashamed to reveal that I don’t play any instrument... Instead you will find me on a climbing wall, or riding my Brompton folding bicycles outside of its comfort zone!
