I am an audio engineering student and it is the dream to be an audio software developer... I am very much a beginner when it comes to computer programming but your vids are helping out so much!
Cool; thanks for sharing. It’s encouraging to hear that learning a language or design pattern to fill an immediate position isn’t out of the question. I’m an audio engineer (production, not software) considering applying for jobs on the development side, and this discussion has been quite useful.
I’m an embedded SW engineer but I did my major on audio engineer, being an audio sw developer is my goal, and sharing experiences as Spencer’s make me feel as that’s possible! Thanks Joshua!
How appropriate that you upload this in the middle of my jobless purgatory! Having just graduated, I've been watching your videos and building my own applications using JUCE, which I hope to use as ammo for a future interview. Do you think in the midst of an indefinite quarantine it would be better to keep accumulating a portfolio of things I've made, or should I be spending my time shooting arrows into the ether hoping someone hires me right out of college anyway? Your vids and tutorials have been massively helpful btw
This is timely. This is currently me. I've been doing web development for 10 years, and really want to try something new. As a former musician (are you ever really a former musician? :P ), this is a route I'm considering. Thanks for this.
This channel is the best thing ever! I’m a self taught musician and music producer (Logic pro x) and I’ve been looking to get into software engineering, why not mix my passion and software engineering?! Thanks for the content! Is there a discord group to join?
i have so many questions ab this industry. is there any data on the audio programming industry? is it a pipe dream to actually get hired in this industry? how competitive is it? do companies hire people right out of university? do companies hire people who have little to no experience coding?
Just subbed, I'm an ex audio engineer turned web developer. I still produce electronic music using reaper as my daw. Since I enjoy both audio and coding how should I go about combining them? We are spoilt for tutorials in the web stack but audio programming not so much. So C++ is a must yes, thanks!
Sheesh... all this time I thought I'd never be able to get my dream job as an audio programmer (a way to combine my passion for writing music and playing instruments + EE/CS/DSP such as what I studied in college). But wow... I have way more education/experience in programming and DSP than what Spencer had when getting their job. This makes me feel a lot more hopeful. I'm just so used to constantly being rejected by employers it gets me down. I end up assuming they are expecting to hire only people with like, 10+ years of direct experience in the industry or something I'd wanna get into the DSP part of things. It was my area of focus for my EE degree. And now I have a CS degree on top of it (which I got a year ago after working a few jobs that weren't really what I wanted to do with my life... did plenty of CS for the BSEE [class of 2012] but wanted to go deeper).
Interesting talk Joshua! In the end it's all about being curious, learn about the subjects you're interested in and, most important thing, having luck. :)
This video is brilliant. Awesome to hear his journey into AP. I'm a musician who is currently half way through a coding bootcamp with a long term goal to be an audio programmer. Many thanks!
23:41 I think Google is more involved in data science in music than Ableton right now. They have a few projects where they use AI in a musical context.

Great audio programming content as usual 🖖

Wow, those are some great insights!
Wow it’s Scott Hawley! One of my professors in my audio engineering program. Great guy and incredibly intelligent.
I also am very passionate about audio programming using C++ just want to connect to a community who I can learn and grow with.
Thanks Spencer!

@@TheAudioProgrammer Absolutely agree man and thanks for the kind words :)

Can you please share those slack/discord channels that were mentioned during the talk?
What’s the audio programming slack community?
