Audio Processor

A real-time audio processing application with virtual audio device support for Windows and Linux. This application provides audio enhancement through compression and limiting, with preset configurations for different use cases.

⚠️ Note: This application is currently in development and not fully functional.

Features

• Real-time Audio Processing: Dynamic range compression and limiting
• Virtual Audio Device: System-level audio routing for Windows and Linux
• Preset Configurations:
  • Default: General purpose audio enhancement
  • Podcast: Optimized for voice recording
  • Streaming: Broadcast-ready audio processing
  • VoiceOver: Professional voice work settings
• Cross-platform Support: Windows, Linux, and macOS build scripts
• Installer Generation: Automated installer creation for Windows

Building

Prerequisites

• CMake 3.15 or higher
• C++17 compatible compiler
• Platform-specific audio libraries

Windows

./build_windows.bat

Linux

./build_linux.sh

macOS

./build_macos.sh

Installation

Windows Installer

1. Build the application using the Windows build script
2. Run the installer creation script:

   ./build_installer.bat

3. Optionally sign the installer:

   ./sign_installer.bat

Linux

./install.sh

Testing

• simple_test.bat - Basic functionality test
• test_build.sh - Build verification test
• test_application.cpp - Unit tests
• test_installer.bat - Installer verification

Development Status

This project is currently under development. The core audio processing components are implemented but the application may not be fully functional. Key areas still in development:

• Virtual audio device integration
• GUI implementation
• Cross-platform compatibility
• Audio routing and device management
