Re: [linux-audio-dev] Programming resource question

Thanks Paul, Softwerk was already on my list of apps to look at it too. = ) Are you still working on that at all or is it taking a back seat to Ardour and Jack right not? Also, did you make playback timing the top priority in Softwerk? For example, while limited in scope, Propellorheads did a great job with Rebirth of making sure that it acted like a 303 or 909; no matter how much you hit the buttons or twisted the knobs, playback is always even. The thing I'm working on is meant for live gigs, so for example I want to make sure that if I execute a copy command, playback is fine even if the copy command takes a little longer to execute and forces the next input to wait a bit. I don't know enough C to know where to look in an app for that kind of business. Any other suggestions anyone? Any good books introducing this kind of thing? I'd like to find a bridge between basic C books and code and reading code of fully featured complex apps. Well I'm actually making more of toolkit for do it yourself modular live sequencing systems. So the idea is that one might use parts of it on PC, port parts to Pic chips, or run parts coded in something like Csound or PD. At the moment the whole thing is a gigantic Csound ensemble heavily tailored around my own personal gear set up, so I haven't had to worry about any low level stuff yet. But I would like to start modularizing it and making it available to other people and platforms. It works well in Csound, but file i/o is kluderific so I'd like to get that kind of stuff going in C as well. Thanks, Iain
