Also, it is my experience that audio programming isnt nearly as technically hard as other types of game programming, like graphics engine stuff. That is unless you start doing DSP stuff. Most of what I want from my programmers is relatively straight forward stuff, but requires knowledge of the API of whatever sound engine we use. | |

| Jul 13, 2011 at 23:35 | comment | added | harvest moon | Thank you very much... I have always been interested in coding and often bugged the programmers at my school to show me their work behind the screen. Would a standard B.S. in computer science allow me to work with audio middleware programs? Or is that something I would have to figure out on my own with my new knowledge of programming? | |
