Developing multitrack audio effect plugins for music production, Brecht De Man, JUCE Summit 2015

Abstract
Multitrack digital audio effects (Digital Audio Workstation plugins with more than two inputs and/or outputs) are a class of signal processing tools that provide significant opportunities for researchers and artists, as they allow audio features from different tracks to affect processing of others in real-time, within an otherwise conventional digital production environment. However, the development of such plugins comes with many interesting challenges, including the fact that most DAWs do not natively support it. This presentation focuses on both the possibilities of multitrack plugins and obstacles encountered when developing multitrack plugins with JUCE in particular.
