Glese Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 This seems to be a bit random here but I thought somebody may here may know. I am wondering which programming language would be a good fit to create audio software like a compressor or a synthesizer for example? The language should be well readable.

Popular ones are C, C++, and Java. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You can use JavaScript for this sort of thing these days. See http://audiolibjs.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyKay47 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 wasn't a terrible question, he wanted to know what languages you could create something like a synthesizer in, seems like a valid question to me. "the one you are proficient with" is less then helpful. I'm not here to argue, i'm here to help people, later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootstah Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 he wanted to know what languages you could create something like a synthesizer in And the answer is: a lot. So pick one you are proficient with, make sure it has libraries for this, and use it. Ask a vague question, get a vague answer. I'm not sure why you've got your knickers in a twist over it.

Glese Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 There are only so many languages. Aykay, what would you describe as the advantages of Java over C/C++ ? I am overall tending towards Java, would there be any disadvantages I would experience in regards to my intentions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glese Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 And also which one of these three is more well documented in your opinion? The documentation does play a big role for me. I am not expecting something tutoring but something as decent as the PHP documentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You'll be hard pressed to find any language as well documented as PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You can use JavaScript for this sort of thing these days. See http://audiolibjs.org really, this is the best option if you do not care to learn a new language, took a look at it, nice toolkit that will get the job done, and of course, its nice that it is in JS.

scootstah Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 C++ and Java both have pretty good documentation. As well as huge communities with tons of resources, so you shouldn't ever feel abandoned with either platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glese Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 There seem to be differing opinions. While C/C++ do not seem to have any official go to documentation Java's documentation seems quite fragmented and requires dissecting, I do side with the opinion that the options do not match with the PHP documentation, one learns to appreciate it more. I do not intend to dissect and I do not perceive learning a language as fun that way either, I would rather have to have an official go to place similar to the PHP documentation. The way how it seems to be done as common practice is that there is usually one go to book people read as the manual of the language. The book "The C++ Programming Language" seems to be well documented and is pretty good reviewed. I had a look inside on Amazon and it seems to be complete, it also is quite big of a book.
