The Broad Audio Engine presents the ability to process sounds and audio files for applications like video games and DAWs.
This engine was born out of a frustration with other audio systems for their lack of readable code that results from the large monolithic structures and architecture-specific systems they contain. I do understand why these structures and systems are the way they are, but nevertheless they are a pain to work with in most cases. With this audio engine, I intend to create an interface that is well documented and has minimal time to start writing code and calculate samples.
To get started, there is always the [documentation], but additionally I recommend taking a look at the [Generator], [Modifier], and [SimpleSound] structures to get you started. In the world of BAE, sources of sound (e.g. simple sine, wav file, etc.) are called "Generators" and filters (e.g. low pass, reverb, etc.) are called "Modifiers". There's no particular reason for this naming convention other than I like them. Utilizing the [Generator], [Modifier], and [SimpleSound] you can get started with a simple system for generating your samples. In truth you could get your samples from a [Generator] on its own, and that functionality is allowed, but for more advanced sounds and systems you'll likely need a more complex way of representing those systems. For that purpose there is the [Sound] trait, giving the ability to operate many [Generator]s and [Modifier]s as a single unit, as you might find with some digital synthesizers.
