Yeah, the article reads like it's going to be somewhat platform-agnostic until you're down a few paragraphs and it blasts you with iOS stuff as if it was the only platform that mattered for realtime audio. I'm more of a mind

Sure, I made a live-codable audio plugin (VST) that runs Lua/LuaJIT. From my experience, the only thing that slows it down is the fact that it uses double floats which are unnecessarily precise. The JIT and memory management are very e

I see, it makes more sense when you make it more explicit. But then I also have an appeal to authority: the majority of drugs prescribed against depression also happen to be depressants. And sometimes it works, though they all tend to have

" not to mention you're giving a _depressant_ to a depressed person " Heh, these concepts are unrelated to the point that this statement could make a decent joke. As a rough example, it's on the level of "not to men

Oil rigs producing as much light a large city does not seem unlikely at all to me. The Prudhoe Bay oil field in the north of Alaska has always stood out in its disproportionate brightness and size in any night-view of the earth I've se

Yes, and I'll try to make it more explicit for people saying that sound is also two-dimensional. Before any analysis, sound is one-dimensional, that is unless you count stereo channels to represent an additional dimension, but then it

I suppose you're not counting the likes of NW.js and Electron because the native version isn't really native - though from the user's perspective, it can feel as native as a Haxe application, assuming they don't look at

In the paper, they dismiss the example of "if you score 90 and above" as incorrect use of "and" (or too vague to turn into any formal logic). However, looking at your summary, it suddenly sticks out that this issue could

It seems you're forgetting that everything is buffered and all events are timecoded. This is how pretty much all music software works, and it means the final audio is synchronized down to sample precision, regardless of any hardware la

MIDI I/O is always a nice feature, and having programmed around MIDI quite a bit, I think you make it sound more difficult than it is. It's difficult if you need to write all the MIDI from scratch, but it's easy if you have a

Yup. The main reason I still need it is for East West virtual instruments. Hopefully it will get dropped as more iLok-protected software keeps getting cracked to show how ineffective it is.

Oh yes they do. As far as I can tell, it still has the monopoly in film music editing, at the very least. Otherwise I agree with you on all accounts.

In this context, it means nothing. As you point out, GP is conflating pitch with pitchless phonemes, for example, the phrase " we say "Mmmmm" not something higher pitched " doesn't make any sense. However, I suppose
