- Taking Octachainer and making my own CLI implementation to learn Rust https://www.elektronauts.com/t/octachainer-v1-3/45320 - hacking around with FunDSP (turns out it’s pretty fun), again to learn some Rust https://github.com/SamiPerttu/fundsp - Giving up Arma3 gamemode dev maintenance for a large-ish community, but hanging around to teach people git/github and provide wisdom / teach how to do software dev (a lot of folks have minimal software experience). Although debating whether to straight up leave the community.

I try and learn Rust by glueing all things together (MIDI, Open Sound Control, Audio I/O) into little commandline utilities (e.g. routers), it's mostly to keep myself happy; quick results keep me pushing. Whether it's a good idea to start with a plugin depends on your experience (e.g. writing such things in C or C++). Active noise cancellation would be too involved for a first attempt (at least for me). Here's an unfinished project: https://github.com/materoy/noice For regular denoising there's these (haven't tried them): https://github.com/jneem/nnnoiseless https://github.com/bennetthardwick/rust-obs-plugins/blob/mas.... Here's an aggregate for sound related things: https://rust.audio/ Overviews/libraries: https://github.com/kfrncs/awesome-rust-audio https://crates.io/keywords/audio • Some videos: - Rust for audio developers: https://w

ww.youtube.com/watch?v=Yom9E-67bdI - The nannou framework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPFv3adyLB4 • Here's a real good article by Ross Bencina that goes into the intricacies of realtime audio, don't allocate/free in the hot parts of your code ! http://www.rossbencina.com/code/real-time-audio-programming-... Other things to check out: fundsp - a compact library with DSL for typical dsp things https://github.com/SamiPerttu/fundsp nih-plug - a plugin framework https://github.com/robbert-vdh/nih-plug/ Nannou a creative coding library that glues the needed parts together in a very clean way, will get you results quickly; the more difficult parts are already implemented, and it's a good place to learn. I started trying to understand and use obvious libraries like `cpal` for cross-platform audio I/O, `midir` for midi I/O, and `rosc` for OSC. Finally, I found `Programming Rust`, by Blandy and Orendorff a real nice condensed read. TRPL by Klabnik and Nicols is very readable as well, but I prefer Blandy/Orendorf. All in all, plenty of information, just a bit scattered over github / youtube and other places. Any way, my advice would be to take things step by step, learn from examples, and you could do worse than embrace chatgpt for rs pair programming as well (at least to get started) :)

As an alternative to JUCE, you can use write VST with Rust, using EGUI lib: https://github.com/DGriffin91/egui_baseview_test_vst2 Audio lib choice: - https://github.com/RustAudio/dasp - https://github.com/SamiPerttu/fundsp - https://github.com/chaosprint/glicol Typically, you can use MIT license in Rust community. In this video demo, you can even live coding audio effect in DAWs with Glicol as VST plug-in, built with EGUI: https://youtu.be/tmmBhBmIEW0 Apparently, you can use the same combo to make your own.
