Re: Tracktion engine now open source
This is totally out of my wheelhouse, but could this possibly be used to build an A/B mix reference and analysis type plugin ?

Re: Tracktion engine now open source
Looks like it. However, you could probably do the same with Faust, at least the DSP code + ugly GUI. Or, use JUCE. Or with Faust + JUCE, which is getting possible nowadays.carlv wrote:This is totally out of my wheelhouse, but could this possibly be used to build an A/B mix reference and analysis type plugin ?

Just finished watching this introductory vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko9RWpjUHPc where at a glance, everything seems to be pretty much self contained. As mentioned, i don't know anything from nothing in this realm, so respectfully... Why would i (or anyone else for that matter) find a need to bring Faust into the mix as well ? Gives me brain pain just thinking about it.
And i would prefer to have a sleek-n-cool looking GUI if at all possible.

Faust is very convenient to create DSP algorithms, which then you can include in any C++ project, also JUCE projects. What takes 1000 lines of C++ can easily be one line of Faust.

Use JUCE then. It is made by the same people. Actually, JUCE was born to make Tracktion. Probably you don't need all features of the Tracktion engine, and going directly with JUCE can be a sane solution. But I bet you can do that with the Tracktion egine too. If you learn JUCE I think you can go beyond what the Tracktion engine offers to you, should you ever feel the need.carlv wrote:And i would prefer to have a sleek-n-cool looking GUI if at all possible.
Re: Tracktion engine now open source
Well, thinking about it some more, looks like you are going to use JUCE anyway when you use the engine... so, the Tracktion engine looks like a sound toolkit-sort-of-thing to start having some fun with. At least after a cursory look. I think you will have anything you need to create that kind of plugin you are after.

Nothing special, as expected, except some built-in plugins and third-party DSP code that pretends to be 'optimized'.

Re: Tracktion engine now open source
CrocoDuck thanks, that was my thinking, too. The fellow's channel in the vid above is full of Juce tuts and the Juce site as well, so i may just dig in during the winter months to keep meself occupied..and out of trouble.CrocoDuck wrote:..., looks like you are going to use JUCE anyway when you use the engine... so, the Tracktion engine looks like a sound toolkit-sort-of-thing to start having some fun with.

Again thanks. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
