Electronic musician and Output audio developer Jacob Penn teaches the first course of our two-part program Creating Audio Plugins with C++ and JUCE. Using the de facto language and framework of the industry, you will learn how to design, architect, and develop multi-threaded audio plugins in industry-standard formats like VST and AudioUnit. After taking this course, you will have a firm understanding of what really goes into developing software audio plugins, including how they work from a structural perspective, and the thought and design processes that go into the creation of commercial products.

As a DSP Engineer with hopes of breaking into the plugin industry, being able to engage at this educational level with a company like Output is very valuable to me. "
