title: I want to do a project on sound programming, but I don't know where to start
body: <p>At my high school we can take a class where we basically learn about a subject on our own for a semester. I was thinking that I want to learn about "sound programming," but I realized that I have no idea what that entails. I'm interested in learning about, for example, how a synthesizer works, how I could write a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Studio_Technology" rel="noreferrer">VSTi</a>, and how sound works in computer science. Is this a feasible subject? Are there any good tutorials out there for somebody completely new to this? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
