Core Audio SDK

[Thel]

Has anyone on here used Apple’s Core Audio SDK? I concurrently learn C++ (not ObjC) and the API’s basal framework w/ the intent of developing my own signal processors. I’ll be honest and say that I’m new to sound programming and programming in general (though my knowledge of programming theory and logic is not inapt) so I can’t say that I’ve done a lot so far but this is the one facet of programming that I’ve developed a keenness for throughout my muse as a soundologist (if you will). It does, however, seem to be somewhat of a crux to most programmers I’ve spoken to – esp. game programmers. Maybe someone on here has used Apple’s Core Audio SDK or Steinberg’s VST SDK? Does anyone else share this interest?
