Any forum in particular to recommend?
in addition to the source code archive at musicdsp.org the music-dsp mailing
list is great. there is an archive dating back over 10 years with lots of
useful info
http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp/
there is also the comp.dsp newsgroup
Regarding books I'd second Matt's suggestion re. Dodge and Jerse and F.
Richard Moore -- those are the classics. The MIT press books, mostly
compilations of CMJ articles, (technology of computer music, music machine,
foundations of computer music, current directions in computer music) are all
oldies but goodies. As is Chamberlain's Musical applications of
Microprocessors.
Road's Computer Music Tutorial is a good historical reference but I agree,
not so useful if you actually want to implement something.
For readings in more recent developments:
DAFX conference papers are all online:

ICMC conference papers are online here:

And regarding software, if you're going to check out Music Kit or go down
the "embed Pd" road you should also look at Supercollider if you havn't
already:

and STK

Hi Morgan,
I would suggest checking out some of the DSP mailing lists -- the stuff on
this core audio mailing list is pretty specific to Apple implementation, and
what you're looking for is a broader topic. A lot of the DSP forums and
lists will contain example code in C or C++.
Hope that points you in the right direction.

Thanks for bringing MusicKit up again Brian. I'll take a look.

It's a close sibling to OSX which predates CoreAudio. It's very mature, was
designed by some really smart and influential audio genius(es), and you
would have a hard time building all that you need when it's probably already
available there.

Where should I go to read up on audio programming, synthesis, optimization,
etc. I'd like to move from being an almost total novice/dilettante to being
only a partial novice/dilettante.
I have The Computer Music Tutorial, which I like quite a lot, but that's
pretty much the extent of my library. What I'm most interested in is looking
at approaches to creating flexible and efficient unit generator graphs. I'd
like to have a system which is reasonably modular, which I can reconfigure
quickly, but which is also reasonably efficient.
So, is this the sort of thing a book can help me with? Which book?
While I'm on the subject of creating unit generator graphs, I should mention
that I'm often wondering whether I would be better off just using something
like PD in my app. I like the idea of getting my hands dirty with the raw
audio signal, but wonder if for my purposes, an already-built, widely used
patching system might be better. http://noisepages.com/groups/pd-everywhere/
I'd rather have something code-based, but I'm not really sure how much
effort it's going to take to build my own system which I'm happy with.
