Audio Programming in C++

C++ is the standard for programming professional, efficient audio software. Most of the languages and environments introduced in the Computer Music Basics class are programmed in C++ themselves. When adding low level components, such as UGens in SuperCollider, objects in Pure Data or VST plugins for Digital Audio Workstations (DAW), these are programmed in C++, based on the respective API. These APIs take over the communication with the hardware and offer convenient features for control and communication.
