Hello all, I am new to the site as well as the framework. I’ve wanted to get into dsp programming and vst creation for quite some time. I have taken a few C++ courses via udemy; I am currently working towards getting a degree in computer science. I do have some questions since this is my first time getting into this framework. 1. Are there any good books (free e-books maybe?) that cover programming for digital signal processing? 2. I’ve installed Projucer but it won’t let me download the live build. Is there a fix for this? (Could it be because I’m a windows user?) 3. Are there any good video tutorials? I am glad to be a part of the community, I will be reading over the forum for the next few weeks looking at older post digging for info. Thanks! ---

Welcome! I highly recommend you join both the [JUCE Discord](https://discord.gg/cVGhdB7) and theAudioprogrammer Discord ([https://discord.gg/PUc6ypG](https://discord.gg/PUc6ypG)) as there is a heap of suggestions made in the various channels over there. And if you don’t mind delving into some maths, McGill University have a pdf copy of DAFX available ([here](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~ich/classes/dafx_book.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwiAoe6_2rjYAhUOb1AKHVxtCfIQFgglMAA&usg=AOvVaw2p4zl2AVbYon30tgQobqeA)) ---

Good suggestion, I also hang out in JUCE discord. So I met the theAudioprogrammer guy, a nice chap, but why are people spawning their own servers? I joined the move from freenode to discord, as it gave a fresh momentum, but I don’t see any benefit of having the same technology multiple times. @matkatmusic: can these two servers be merged, please? Or is it a matter of status symbol to run it’s own server, maybe I should think about spawning my own instance? 😛 ---

I don’t know when @theaudioprogrammer created his discord server. We have the IRC Forum bot on ours tho. that’s reason enough to only join the JUCE discord lol 😛 😉
