digital signal processing for synths and audio stuff.
maths :/ brain hurt.
i did some digital signal processing in my phd but i need to go through and implement a bunch of things from scratch to learn/relearn and it’ll just be a bit of a grind. i’m avoiding doing that by working on data file parsing / project management utils for the elektron octatrack instead, which is useful, but tangential to what i want to do.
long term would be rad to build software for old synth hardware and the like. sort of like midiquest, but without the price tag.
Will Pirkle has a couple of books that go through this. I've found them quite helpful. https://www.willpirkle.com/
I've heard The Audio Programmer discord is a great resource for this sort of thing. Worth checking out: https://www.theaudioprogrammer.com/
thanks, although i’m a member already. it’s not really resources that’s the issue. i’ve read Julius Smith’s books in the past etc. in the rust audio discord etc.
i just have a mental block similar to the one i had with rust. avoided learning it for a long while until i made a decision to finally to do it.
i just keep avoiding making the same decision here for some reason. not sure why. probably the old “it’s going to be really hard” thing i had with rust (which turned out to be rubbish, it just took time and repeating stuff over and over and learning from mistakes over and over).
