Debugging Audio Content With Visuals - A Debugger Extension and Other Helpful Tools

Learn to debug audio content more effectively through visual representations in this conference talk from ADC 2024. Explore the challenges of interpreting raw audio samples during debugging sessions and discover how graphical visualizations like waveforms and spectrograms can provide crucial insights into audio data. Review various existing tools designed to simplify audio debugging workflows, particularly when working with compiled languages like C/C++. Examine a newly developed debugger extension that adds specialized commands for displaying audio content directly from buffer classes without requiring code recompilation or instrumentation with macros and custom libraries. Gain practical insights into streamlining your audio development debugging process and making audio sample interpretation more intuitive and efficient.
