Hi

I'm looking to create program(s) capable of analysing and producing sound, possibly making a simple GUI along the way. I've been programming in C++ for a while now, and pretty comfortable with it, but given that I want to achieve the above I figure it's about time to move on to another language.

Basically I wanted your opinions on which languages are better and so on; so far I'm considering Java, Perl and Python but not really sure which language would be best. I feel pretty confident in my ability to pick up a new language, so I'd rather go for a more solid language than one that is easier/quicker to program.

In addition, if anyone has any advice to offer on programming in sound it would be appreciated, though I realise I'll probably have to research this myself.

Thanks in advance

Well C#.NET is very easy to use for making GUI/UI's but you'll probably notice a lack of power to C++, but if your pretty comfortable with C++ I would stick with it, and research how to make a GUI with it. :)

C and C++ are options, as are many others. It's all about the libraries.

Thanks guys, think I'll stick with C++ ...managed to find a couple of libraries for sound synthesis, sure I can find some for GUI's when I'm ready to make one. Cheers :)
