  • Processing digital audio using audio processing plug-ins executing in a distributed computing environment
    Patent number: 11789689
    Abstract: An audio processing plug-in shim operates in conjunction with a plug-in host application executing on a computing device. The plug-in shim receives a stream of digital audio from the plug-in host application and transmits the digital audio to a network service executing in a network accessible remote distributed computing environment. The network service receives the digital audio and routes the digital audio to one or more audio processing plug-ins, also executing in the distributed computing environment. The audio plug-ins process the digital audio, such as by applying digital signal processing techniques to the digital audio, and return processed audio to the network service. The network service returns the processed audio to the plug-in shim executing on the remote computing device. The plug-in shim, in turn, receives the processed audio from the network service and provides the processed audio to the plug-in host application.
