Explore fast and high-quality pseudo-random number generation techniques for audio development in this 36-minute conference talk from the Audio Developer Conference (ADC22). Delve into the limitations of std::rand() and the benefits of using std::mt19937 from the C++ standard library. Investigate proper seeding methods, portability considerations, and the implications of statistical test failures for std::mt19937. Analyze benchmarks and quality assessments of standard library pseudo-random number generators compared to modern alternatives. Learn how to optimize runtime performance determinism with minimal quality loss when using standard library distributions. Gain insights applicable to digital audio applications, games, graphics, and simulations from Principal Software Engineer Roth Michaels of iZotope/Soundwide.
