For me, it’s otosclerosis. Happens to people randomly.

Hey, I’m actually really big into audio development at the moment. I think you might appreciate this video.
This. I have hearing aids too. I share your pain.
What kind of phone apps would you like to see made?
This is actually the hardest part for me, personally. I’m an audio guy, not a graphics guy, so I’m afraid I can’t help out here.
Not if it makes me the next Aphex Twin first! :3
In my opinion, this is the same question as whether or not to use Arch Linux over another distro. Roll your own simply if you want, or if no other synthesizer is doing it for you. Sometimes it’s just worth doing it for the fun of it, or for the sake of learning. I’m actually planning on making a bunch of soft synths, so if you like, you can let me know what you’d like to see.
Thank you!
Envelopes and ADSR are an absolute must. Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll be taking you up on them.
I think immediately of libao for the C programming language. Imagine a while loop that completes itself at least 44100 times in a second. If the synth cannot write to the buffer that quickly, the sound card runs out of samples, and can’t do anything, so it stops playing. Hence that clicky mess sound. This is for realtime synthesis though. If you can produce audio at your own pace, you have the opportunity to sound good every time.
This is exactly right!
Fantastic question! A synthesizer is a device that generates audio signals. I remember reading somewhere that they were sometimes referred to as “noise machines”, in regards to I think the Minimoog specifically. A drum machine is a type of synthesizer, as were the electronic-keyboard-having synths of the past.
Thank you so much for the offer! I’ll mostly stick to soft synths, but I don’t mind going into the history a little bit to explain terminology and whatnot. There’s a surprising amount of overlap between analog subtractive synths and software subtractive synths anyways.
C and C++, but I’d like to make it a language agnostic library if possible.
All kinds. No reason to stop at one haha.
Thanks for mentioning it, I’ll check it out!
These are all excellent ideas! Thanks!
You’re too nice! Thank you!
Have you tried Tuner on FDroid? Sadly, I’m not an Android dev.
Excellent point, it’s easy to forget that sometimes. What makes a good gui, in your opinion?
