Writing an Audio Plugin in Rust - Joe Clay

Along the long and slightly convoluted path I took to finding my current career as a software developer, I ended up spending a year at college studying music. It didn't really amount to much in the way of gainful employment, but it's still something I'm r…

Thanks for this tutorial, was really helpful. I don't have much experience programming vsts but do you know if there is a standard method to get the current sample rate from the client/daw using this crate? Thanks :)

@jamieb133: I've not tried it myself, but in the vst crate (the more up to date fork of the one I used in this tutorial), there seems to be two ways to get it:

• Via the get_time_info method on HostCallback (an instance of which gets passed when the plugin is initialized).
• Via the set_sample_rate hook that gets called when the sample rate changes.

I'm not sure which one of these is standard/better - asking on the RustAudio Discourse might be a good idea. There's also a Telegram chat for Rust VST development.

Hopefully that helps!

Extremely helpful to see the process from idea to execution for someone getting into both Rust and audio programming. Thank you!

Thank you for the tutorial! I'm learning rust at high school, I'm a musician and I love music software I definitely will try your tut :)
