Hey all! Chris here from GPU Audio - we just dropped an Early-Access plugin and Community (DISCORD) and would love for you to try it!

The plugin is a fun, simple convolution reverb that you can load your own IRs into! With GPU Audio, there is no added latency as a consequence of adding more instances so have fun and stress test your DAW if you'd like! I was able to run 128 stereo instances within 1ms latency on Reaper, last night.

Download it here for free! We will add new IR zips as we go: https://earlyaccess.gpu.audio/

Please check the Read-Me as this is a test plugin, with purposeful limitations, and is currently only compatible on Windows PC with an NVIDIA discreet GPU. We are testing across the major DAWs Roadmap ahead includes, AU, Mac, AMD card support and much more.

GPU Audio is a full tech stack we designed to effectively parallelize audio processing across thousands of GPU cores, by offloading DSP from cpu to the gpu, and returning back within 1ms latency. If you're interested in the novel innovation, we are speaking on March 24th at NVIDIA GTC.

The plugin works is basically an open-benchmarking test for us as we prepare to launch an entire suite of products in 2 months We are also forming partnerships with great plugin makers to power up others' future instruments and have lots of news coming.

Drop in and I look forward to meeting you! You can watch Sonic State dream about GPU Audio here:

Does it support the M1 GPUs?
it might actually start making sense to get the more powerful GPUs lol

edit:
windows only.

too bad, looks extremely interesting.

edit2:
2023.

looking forward to this.

will it work?

This could be the start of something really interesting, there is so much maths processing power in graphics card which such fast access that this is the holly grail for DSP....

I have been wanting more GPU processed plugins since the early 2010s when GPGPU first started being more of a thing in some other fields. Following with interest.

Interesting that they have a full DAW on the cards as well....

Super interesting and promising.

So far all it does here is causing a runtime-error though (Win 11, 4800h, RTX 2060)

Where is it to be found?

Btw.: the plugin neither seems to report your company nor even just its name to the host, which frankly appears somewhat unprofessional to me. I'll gladlly dedicate time to beta-test this, but you should deliver a minimum of proper info for this.

Thanks for your feedback, if you're on Discord it'd be great to hear your views there. https://discord.com/invite/McMfd4zv7M

I understand what you're saying and will make a note of it for the team.

I wish my DAW Cubase had this now

I will wait for AMD support. AMD GPUs are normally recommended for digital audio workstations.

Really, is there an article or something somewhere? I've always used ASUS Motherboard, Intel CPUs, and NVIDIA gpus and - never - have had a hardware problem, or audio problem because of this hardware combos.
