Audio from Scratch with Go: Stereo Panning
In the previous post we have written code to change the amplitude of wave files. Now we’ll take a look at how we can turn a mono wave file into a stereo wave file with optional panning, and explore how this is represented internally by the WAVE file format. Channels The raw audio data inside a WAVE file consists of…

Bit-banging a BASIC Birthday
I spent this summer building a new app, for a machine that hasn’t been on the market since 1980 and wasn’t built to support graphics, sound, connectivity or even lowercase letters, sold by a company that went bankrupt a decade ago, tailor-made for an audience of one: my dad, who celebrated his 70th birthday this past…

Lossless Float Image Compression
Back in 2021 I looked at OpenEXR lossless compression options (and I think my findings led a change of the default zip compression level , as well as change of the compression library from zlib to libdeflate . Yay blogging about things!) . Then in 2023 I looked at losslessly compressing a bunch of floating point data…
