    coding?
    just started into this myself, doing c++ next year at uni and think it'd be a good way to learn it.

    @ Paul.

    I would say we'll get you, but we wouldn't.
    at best we'd say something mildy hurtful.

    Quiggers, didn't you say in the Waves thread that programming is a boring job, and nobody does it for the love? ...what are you studying? I actually did it (c,then java) for 10 years and loved it, and still do some (drupal/php).
    cheers.

    I'm doing electronic engineering, so c is a must for pic chips etc.

    in 2 years we've managed to cover numerous ways of doing basic accounting
    in c, not related in the least to the body of the course, hence my dour take on
    programming, even when we did assembly language it was still basic accounting.

    its a problem with the way the knowledge is conveyed, i know its just to teach us the basics, such as strings, loop, functions etc.

    so i'm hoping to make something that
    a. i might use
    b. will make 3rd year c a walk in the park

    but i'm not expecting it to be fun, mentally rewarding would be nice tho.

    Did it in C++ on X-Code for the Mac. You can download the software developers kit, (SDK) with a couple of examples, a straight forward gain stage, a delay effect etc. So I just started with the gain stage and dropped an oscillator in who's output mutliplies the signal as it comes out.

    Started learning programming in September mostly C. The C++ is a bit trickier with syntax and stuff. But using the SDK it's not unlike hacking code into your myspace page or something. The hardest bit is all the code invloved in getting the host to talk to the plug-in, adding extra sliders and the rest, the actual process block is quite simple.

    It hasn't got a GUI so it just uses the Hosts GUI, it seems to work in Reaper and will probably do the same in Cuebase and Ableton. So unless anyone really wants it I'm not putting it anywhere.

    If anyone wants to see the code they'd be welcome.

    You should take a look at JUCE, http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce.php. It allows you to write a plugin that will compile as a VST, AU and RTAS all in one. It can also create a multi-platform standalone application from the same code.

    Also allows you to use JUCE's GUI stuff which is very handy and looks good. I'm writing a plugin at the moment for an assignment using it and it seems very straight forward.

    I've seen it, I was using wxWidgets, but it's a pain to use. I'm hearing great things about JUCE though.

    I'd be thinking Android if I was going that direction, but the thought's of trying to understand a 3rd programming language in 9 months is'nt very appealing.

    Or something like this http://i-tab.com/wp/products-2/whats-next

    Meanwhile I think anyone who is interested in the programming side should chech this out:

    I tried something similar in PD recently and nearly got sick ahen I saw this...
