Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026
HN commenters recommend it as an introduction to real-time and low-latency programming in C++ for people getting into audio.
Timur Doumler's CppCon 2015 talk on how C++ is used in the audio industry. It covers the patterns and tools audio developers rely on, including handling real-time constraints.
“he goes through real time strategies to keep the response time under around 30ms IIRC” (HN, 2021)
This is a bit higher-level than what you're proposing, but a good introduction is the "C++ in the Audio Industry" talk [0] given at CppCon 2015. [this video]
Higher-level introduction to C++ in audio software.
I watched CppCon 2015: Timur Doumler “C++ in the Audio Industry” [this video] not long ago and enjoyed it. He was a developer at Roli working on synths and he goes through real time strategies to keep the response time under around 30ms IIRC
Real-time strategies for low-latency audio from a synth developer.
Thx for advice! It seems that the audio industry also faces challenges related to high-speed data processing and display. I'm was found a very interesting talk CppCon 2015: Timur Doumler “C++ in the Audio Industry” [1] [1] [this video]
Audio industry challenges in high-speed processing and display.
