• Software Optimization - Tips and tools for optimizing audio software.
  • Audio Software Optimization Tips - My own list of audio software optimization tips.
• Sound Design & Music Production - While this is not strictly development related, knowing how plugins are actually used to make and edit sound can give valuable insight.
• System Tools - A list of system tools useful in developing audio plugins and software.
• Technical Reading - A list of useful articles, blogs, and scientific papers on algorithms and techniques for audio DSP.

• Designing Software Synthesizer Plug-Ins in C++ and Designing Audio Effect Plugins in C++ by Will Pirkle
  • These textbooks are a common recommendation for beginners.
  • The synthesizer one is better than the effect one imo, so go for that if you plan on only buying one.
  • ISBN-10: 0367510480 and 1138591939, ISBN-13: 978-0367510480 and 978-1138591936
• projet μ - An excellent and free online blog that neatly explains the basics of DSP.
• Think DSP - A great free online book that teaches many fundamental DSP concepts using Python.
