This 17-minute conference talk from the Audio Developer Conference (ADC) introduces the basics of analog circuitry to audio software developers. Learn about the fundamental operation of circuit components including resistors, capacitors, and operational-amplifiers, and discover their applications in audio circuits. Presented by Jatin Chowdhury, an electrical engineer with expertise in audio applications of digital signal processing who studied at USC and Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Gain valuable insights into the analog foundations that preceded modern audio software, enhancing your understanding of how traditional audio effects and synthesizers were created before the digital era. Part of ADC's mission to help developers acquire new audio development skills and build supportive professional networks.

    Bridges software ↔ hardware gap
    It explains how real-world audio signals behave before they become digital. This is useful if you’ve only worked with code or simulations.
    Strong fundamentals
    Covers key analog concepts like:
    Voltage, current, impedance
    Filters (low-pass, high-pass)
    Amplifiers and signal conditioning
    Audio-focused learning
    Concepts are explained using microphones, speakers, and audio circuits — easier to understand than abstract electronics.
    Beginner-friendly
    Doesn’t assume deep prior electronics knowledge, so it’s accessible if your analog basics are weak.
