Since you said your aim is to get set up and productive in audio DSP *techniques* you might want to do some experimenting/testing/playing with implementing some common DSP concepts like FIR, IIR, FFT, MinBLEP, etc on a desktop computer platform first.<br><br>I don't want to put you off buying some dsp hardware, but it is often significantly quicker, easier and cheaper to get simple signal processing algorithms running on a desktop PC if that represents a significant milestone or achievement for you.<br><br>Once you get some algorithms working to your satisfaction you can then worry about the additional challenges associated with getting them to run on a dedicated DSP hardware platform, often with limited RAM, ROM, MIPS, power budget, etc.<br><br>Or if you lose the dsp buzz or motivation at the desktop PC stage you have saved yourself the cost of the dsp hardware and its associated Dev tools!<br><br>-Richie, <br><br>Sent from my Xperia SP on O2<br><br>---- John Speth wrote ----<br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’d like to get myself setup and productive in experimenting with audio DSP techniques and I’m looking for recommendations to get started. My goal is career development (EE and SW eng) that will keep me interested in continuing the project,
whatever that may be. I figured the SDIY crowd can recommend good dev/eval boards with appropriate SW libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
