AudioLab Documentation¶

Welcome to the AudioLab comprehensive documentation system!

About This Documentation¶

This documentation is automatically generated from the repository structure. The navigation tree you see on the left reflects the exact folder hierarchy of the AudioLab project, making it easy to navigate from high-level architecture down to specific implementations.

Repository Structure¶

AudioLab is organized into 20 main departments, each representing a key aspect of the project:

03 INFRA: Development environment, build systems, and CI/CD infrastructure

2. Core Technology (04-06)¶

04 CORE: Audio engine, memory systems, and core frameworks
05 MODULES: DSP components, effects, and audio processing modules
06 GRAPHICS: UI framework, rendering, and visualization

3. Assets & Extensions (07-09)¶

07 ASSETS: Wavetables, presets, skins, and samples
08 PLUGINS: Plugin implementations and configurations
09 DAW COMPATIBILITY: Integration with various Digital Audio Workstations

4. Documentation & Quality (10-11)¶

10 DOCUMENTATION: User guides, API documentation, and tutorials
11 TESTING: Unit tests, integration tests, and quality assurance

5. Distribution & Security (12-14)¶

How to Navigate¶

The left sidebar shows the complete repository structure: - Click on any section to expand it - Each folder's README.md appears as the section's index page - Navigate hierarchically from overview to details

Search Functionality¶

Use the search bar at the top to quickly find: - Specific modules or components - Technical concepts - Configuration files - Code examples

Breadcrumbs¶

Follow the breadcrumb trail at the top to understand where you are in the hierarchy.

Auto-Discovery System¶

This documentation uses a professional autodiscovery system powered by:

mkdocs-gen-files: Dynamically generates pages from repository structure
mkdocs-literate-nav: Creates navigation from folder hierarchy
mkdocs-section-index: Uses README.md files as section indexes

What This Means¶

✅ When you add a new folder → it appears automatically
✅ When you create a README.md → it becomes a section index
✅ When you add markdown files → they appear in navigation
✅ Navigation always reflects the current repository state
✅ Zero manual maintenance required

Documentation Standards¶

README.md Files¶

Each folder should contain a README.md with: - Clear description of the folder's purpose - Overview of its contents - Links to important files or subdirectories

Markdown Files¶

Follow these conventions: - Use clear, descriptive H1 headings (# Title) - Structure content with proper heading hierarchy - Include code examples where relevant - Add diagrams for complex concepts

Folder Naming¶

Folders follow a consistent naming pattern: - Two-digit prefix for main departments (01-20) - Hierarchical numbering for subdepartories (e.g., 03_11_00) - Descriptive names separated by underscores

Getting Started¶

Explore the documentation by:

Browse by Department: Click on the main sections (01-20) in the sidebar
Search for Topics: Use the search function for specific content
Follow the Structure: Each section's README provides an overview
Drill Down: Navigate deeper into subsections as needed
