NAMM 22: GPU Audio - Use Your GPU For Audio Processing & Production

It has to be. There are some sick neural plugins coming our way if we don’t limit ourselves to real time CPU processing.

[@gregwilder]

What could well be one of the most significantly disruptive tech advances to hit pro audio is showcased at NAMM from a nondescript, undecorated table with a ~$1,000 windows laptop running on integrated audio. High five! 😊 THANK YOU @sonicstate for finding and covering this young company and CONGRATULATIONS to their team for all of their hard work so far! Such a long overdue addition to the ecosystem.

I'm surprised that it didn't happen sooner. I've wondered if hardware manufacturers make use of the GPUs in the ARM SoCs in their products.

[@synthshoot1026]

It's nice but the type of plugin matters. Convolution reverb jells well with parallel processing. Not every effect or plugin does.

[@angstrom]

@@synthshoot1026 I suspect that other types of plugin have been held back by lack of parallel processing for example physical modelling have traditionally been slow on CPUs. I suspect that with all the NVIDIA light transport research on GPUs recently with machine learning (providing near instant ray tracing) that emulating resonant surfaces will be a lot easier on a GPU ... soon

Mind blown. I remember opening a DAW for the first time over 10 years ago and wondering why my GPU wasn’t being utilized. Researched it and the consensus online was that it wasn’t even possible in any way… didn’t sit right with me. So incredible that it’s been done now. Congratulations to the team responsible! The future of audio is exciting!

[@TimJavins]

I've always wondered the same thing -- why isn't anybody pushing this through the GPU?

[@TimJavins]

@@gpuaudio_admin The fact you turned this into a company is awesome. The business side is another impressive accomplishment, even if it's still early. :)

[@FluffyAnvil]

@@TimJavins There has been attempts in the past and there (still) are some plugins available commercially that already use GPU acceleration (mainly (convolution) reverbs and some delays; Native Instruments Replica XT), the tricky thing always been with GPUs that while they're computional monsters there historically been very high transaction costs to upload/download data between RAM and VRAM(GPU Memory) causing high latency which made it impractical for realtime use such as in plugins, not sure what developments has been done in recent years that could offset this but it's definitely not like nobody thought of or attempted this before, it's quite the opposite a quite well researched subject.

[@MidnightMarrow]

Something to realize too is GPU's were very specialized in simply rendering graphics but within that 10 years they've made massive strides in implementing dedicated processing cores CUDA cores for instance. While we have had them for awhile now we didn't have that many and with that said, as new tech is released, it takes time to figure out how to utilize and optimize that usage. At this stage we can do quite a bit with them in the newer cards especially as the tech continues to mature. Just because CUDA has been around for awhile doesn't mean it was easy or efficient for the things we're finally doing now days. As with everything, there is growing pains.

[@brendanmoran7415]

This is insanely exciting. This is probably the biggest news in digital audio production in my life. In addition to being a musician and audio engineer, I’m a software developer and beta tester for other DSP companies so I’ll be following closely and looking to get in on the Mac and M1 beta phases.

[@isweartofuckinggod]

I say this with a tremendous amount of love and respect, but the music tech industry is stuck WAY in the past. The things we consider "cutting edge" are things other creative industries have had for 20 years already. And many areas haven't seen any major development since the 1980s. So, when I see people genuinely trying to do something about it, I am overwhelmed with joy!

[@Anusideral]

Could not say it better.

[@MrOuija-rr8kq]

It’s because the music tech industries love to limit what they release so they can have a steady stream of money.

[@MisticDW]

100% And all these audio tech companies keep making the same mistakes again and again for the last 20 years

[@Jamusictv]

Applause!

[@mooseyard]

In the case of GPUs, I think they just haven’t been necessary, as PC CPUs have mostly been fast enough, and hardware devices have had DSP chips. And GPUs are notoriously difficult to program, while audio processing can be hard to parallelize. That said, a claimed 40x speed boost will make entirely new things possible, which is exciting. I imagine huge modular synths where each module is running complex algorithms.

[@seedmole]

This is as big a deal for audio production as it was for video/image production to have access to GPUs in the first place. Very cool.

[@gpuaudio_admin]

Definitely, we believe it's going to open some doors for a lot of people.

[@rolfbause9523]

Yeah, I'm glad I bought all of dem sweet cores I could afford 😄

[@famitory]

this is going to breathe a whole lot of life into live performances of electronic music, being able to have complex effects running with the sample latency down at 16 samples means drummers and other highly rhymic players can really perform without hinderance

[@jas_bataille]

I mean... as a drummer, I can already perform "without hindrance" in all sorts of things. The complex effects are actually just rendered, compressed, and loaded into sample that you play in real-time, or you can use electronic drums and run that through a pedalboard or similar. We don't have a channel count of 100+ with convolution reverb instances lmao but this will be extremely useful for sound design!

As a Mach1 Spatial user already, I'm very excited how they will be leveraging GPU Audio SDK. I can see GPU Audio really working well in the multichannel immersive world of audio where there's just so much more DSP going on, both in terms of the maths and channel counts. The near zero latency and the parallel room processing for binaural, HRTF & headtracking could be an interesting area too I think where the closer to real-time you can experience a process, the more realism can be expected.

[@Chrispy01a]

Thank you so much for realizing the massive potential just sitting there waiting to be accessed via the GPU. It always seemed to be in the interest of the pc hardware manufacturers for software engineers and developers not to go down this road meaning their devices would reach a stage of redundancy much sooner, leading to more sales and higher profits of hardware - the consumer once again left 'holding the can' (or should that be 'a cupboard full of redundant laptops') due to the potential of the hardware within said pcs not being fully explored or realized. If ever there was an industry disrupter needed to exploit such an opportunity this was one. I for one will be downloading this software and sincerely hope it will extend the life of my laptop beyond any previous expectations. I applaud you :)👍
