Answer 1

A lot of it depends where you're strongest. C++ is generally used for audio applications for b/c of the performance considerations. However, for your purposes C#, Java or C++ would do. If you go the C++ route I suggest you look at the synthesis toolkit (site here). It will simplify your life greatly.

Answer 2

This is usual application, so it's C++ in most cases. Also, you will need to learn interfaces for UI & Sound output.

Answer 3

Some resource for Visual Basic 6

Answer 4

Languages are just languages. Paradigms (Object Orientated, Aspect Orientated, etc..) matter, development and project strategies (TDD, DD, Agile) matter, most everything else is just down to the resource, the dependencies, and tools you have.

Except VB. Don't use VB.

Or PHP.

Or ColdFusion.

(Just kidding humourless kids).
