LADSPA or VST for Python or Java wrappers, frameworks?

[mpapachristoforou]

Hi everyone,

This is my 1st post in this forum so... yes! I'm a newbie and proud of it!!

I basically work with Java and Python for most of my code but I don't actually have any knowledge in audio programming.

I was wondering if there are any frameworks or wrapper libraries for LADSPA or VST-Linux for Python and Java, and also any info sites with generic documentation on how audio plugin technologies work.

Can anyone put a few links for me in order to get me started?

Hello & Welcome !

for java you could take a look at:

Most plugin standards and APIs are designed for C and C++, and with good reason. If you want to write an efficient, reliable plugin, my recommendation is that you write it in C / C++, don't even think about using Python, and probably not java either. Be aware that writing plugins (that are of any practical use) or any audio processing software requires a lot of specialist knowledge.
