It is written very well and makes a huge effort to stand out from the other programming books.I believe the book is well worth the price.

It’s the only resource you’ll ever need to learn how to code plugins.You don’t even need a full understanding of c!

It is an extremely helpful resource.If you are leaning more towards creating software instruments, book might be more your speed.It is by the exact same author, Will Pirkle, and offers a ton of great information for you to get started.Synth Makers/Prototypers: 1. SynthEditThis has to be the most well known program for creating audio plugins on the fly.
