These files contain the code used during the tutorial session "Creating Audio Plugins with MATLAB", presented at several Conventions of the Audio Engineering Society in the context of the MATLAB Plugin AES Student Competition and Hackathon.
The content is designed to teach students the basic skills needed to participate in the challenge.
The topics covered include manipulating audio signals, processing live real-time audio in MATLAB, packaging MATLAB code as an audioPlugin, exposing audio parameters via user interfaces, turning a MATLAB audioPlugin into a VST plugin, hosting own or other existing VST plugins within MATLAB, and profiling live audio processing prototypes.
The session went through the MATLAB scripts included in the following order:
1. AudioSignalBasics.m
2. AudioStreamingInMATLAB.m
3. PackagingAudioPlugins.m
4. TestingSourceAndGeneratePlugins.m
