Developing VST Plugins for Linux is something that has always been of great interest to me personally. There never seemed to be a framework that was easily portable to Linux aside from JUCE. Why not use JUCE you ask? Don’t get me wrong, JUCE is an excellent framework full of Read more…
When it comes to Digital Signal Processing, successfully creating crossovers can be tricky at first. Linkwitz-Riley filters have a very important quality that when a highpass and lowpass filter with the same corner frequency are summed, they create a perfectly flat frequency response. This is a useful quality, but because of Read more…
This is from a paper that I wrote for one of my classes recently and would like to share it here. Nearly every native application running on modern computers was written using C++. The language has reigned king of natively compiled programming languages for nearly 3 decades now, but the Read more…
The circular buffer or ring buffer can often times be difficult to implement. I pulled my hair out for hours trying to implement one using a dynamic array, but I finally found a simple solution that works very well and efficiently. First of all what is a circular buffer? The simplest Read more…
As someone who is fairly new to programming, you are sure to have seen the increment and decrement operators. It is also likely that you seen two forms of these operators which may lead to confusion. These operators are almost universal to every language. Below is an example of Pre-increment Read more…
Today I would like to take a little time and talk about a subject that is very important to understand when working in the digital audio domain, and that is how to convert between floating-point and decibel. Know how to convert between these two will be very useful when you Read more…
Welcome back to the next part of the tutorial on creating audio plugins in JUCE! Today I will show you how easy it is to add an image to your project and use it as the background for your plugin. First of all we will need an image to use Read more…
Now that we have a functioning Slider to control our saturation, we need to add a Parameter for the slider to change which we be used to control the amount of saturation. The amountSlider that we added in the last tutorial will function as a dry/wet control. You will see why we gave Read more…
Welcome back for part 5 of this tutorial series! Last time we did some very simple audio processing to produce saturation in our plugin. Today we will be adding a slider which will later be used to control the amount of saturation that is applied to the signal. Header File Read more…
In the previous tutorial we went over the basic methods that we will be using to create our plugin. Today I will show you how to do some audio processing, and explain to you how it works. Before we do any processing, it’s time to go over a little bit Read more…
