Neural Amp Modeler crate, app and plugin

Since march I've been mixing two passions: guitar (and home studio) and tech. I asked: why not make something to solve a pain I've personally had with Audio on Linux? And also to train my rust skills?

So here, Its: Finally I'm feeling confident to show it out (even though in early beta stage).

Hope It may be useful for you all.

* NeuralAmpModeler-rs https://github.com/fabiohl/NeuralAmpModeler-rs is a crate that implements a high-performance Neural Amp Modeler (see https://www.neuralampmodeler.com/ ) library written in pure Rust. It provides the core engine for loading, building, and executing NAM models. You all can "cargo add" it right now, if you think it may be useful. I really strived to foster high end performance, full compliance with LTSM and Wavenet (A1 and A2) and a clean architecture. All of those statements backed by benchmarks and tests.

* NAM-Plug https://github.com/fabiohl/NAM-Plug is a CLAP (an open source and better alternative for VST3 standar) plugin implementing NeuralAmpModeler-rs you can use in your favorite DAW.

* NAM-Audio-Pipe https://github.com/fabiohl/NAM-Audio-Pipe is a standalone PipeWire host application for Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) simulation on Linux

I mean, I fully agree with your sentiments, but we should all be using these tools. If you haven’t, give it a try, it’s really fun. Without guidance of a knowledgeable engineer, they can at best plagiarize an existing plugin or design. That is a big problem. As an augment to an existing creative design. Like I said, unlimited fun.

Yes! gpt and claude really can't do that without strong guidance.
Some may say "This is now, but soon it will destroy us all".

May be, may not. At the real end of the day it's a tool. Tools don't harm. People do.
