Re: [LAD] Good Mixer Library

It's patterned after Ardour's internal mixing subroutines. - There's liboil and it's successor ORC. Before using liboil, you should check out the rationale for why it's now being done with ORC. - I saw another SIMD audio processing library recently. Looked a lot like liboil. For a higher-level mixing library... the more I thought about it the more I was convinced that writing a general- purpose "mixer" library is more-or-less trying to re-write JACK in my application space. The options I found for this are: - Ingen is designed to be an audio engine, handling all your plugins and connections and misc. DSP routings. - I started a Mixer class for libTritum (part of Composite). libTritium is intended ot be a public API... but it's not there, yet. However, this class is pretty efficient and pretty general purpose.[1] Also, it's worth mentioning that many of the LAD's I talk to think that mixing is low-level enough that such mixing libraries are not a good idea. That judicious ad-hoc mixing here and there is the whole art of efficient DSP.
