Projucer

At the heart of JUCE, Projucer is the project management application that works as a code editor and file organizer to help developers create impressive audio applications relying on the JUCE C++ framework. It integrates a powerful instant compilation engine to allow its users to visualize changes in their project on-the-spot.

Projucer can handle all kinds of projects, from GUI, animated and OpenGL programs to console apps and further to audio plugins, static or dynamic libraries. It comes with a generous number of examples to help you get started and assess its capabilities while also allowing you to start a new project from scratch.

The project you create can be then exported to various platforms and IDEs: Xcode (Mac and iOS), Visual Studio or Code::Blocks on Windows, Android Studio, or Linux Makefile.

The Main.cpp file is automatically generated, including the necessary C++ code you need to start working on a new JUCE-based application. The integrated editor features syntax highlighting and line numbering, with detailed explanations placed as comments in each important code section.

The modules and classes (MIDI I/O, data classes, audio processing, cryptography and playback classes, etc.) you need for your app to work are already there, but you can freely tamper with various settings of the JUCE framework to have certain functions enabled or disabled. You can configure debugging, preprocessing and code optimization. The project can be exported or opened in an external IDE with just a click, for further editing.

The JUCE project encloses a robust framework for creating cross-platform music apps and plugins, along with the libraries you need to put your idea into practice. And its core management tool, Projucer depicts a versatile editor and advanced file management capabilities. Unfortunately, Windows support is still in development, so building you apps might not be possible. Meanwhile, you can get a taste of what the JUCE project and Projucer are all about.
