The aim of the course is to provide a solid foundation in digital signal processing and the development of audio applications, with an emphasis on applications that require real-time processing.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

Understand the fundamental components involved in the development of audio applications.

Understand the programming practices required to access and configure audio hardware (e.g., number of channels, block size, sampling rate, etc.).

Be familiar with the programming tools and platforms used for the acquisition, analysis, synthesis, playback, and processing of digital audio signals.

Adapt digital signal processing methods to audio applications that require real-time processing.

Develop audio applications for desktop and mobile computing platforms.

The course aims to develop the following general competencies:

Ability to search for, analyze, and synthesize data and information using appropriate technologies.

Ability to adapt to new situations.

Ability to work independently.

Ability to work effectively as a member of a team.

Ability to promote free, creative, and inductive thinking.
