“How do I get started with audio programming?”
“What books do you recommend for doing DSP?”
“How to build a synthesizer with technology XYZ?”
These are some examples of questions I found on various forums throughout the internet. WolfSound is all about making it easy for you to learn audio programming. We remove the requirements to read thick books, pay for expensive courses, and attend universities for years. This podcast episode is meant to give you an example way to learn audio programming: my way. I want to share my story with you so that you can relate and believe that you can do it too!
