Could Mathlab make sense using it as a evaluation platform for audio DSP? This means: Streaming high quality audio using a firewire audio interface for example through a experimental adaptive filter coded in mathlab. And doing measurements and visualizing results in vaious ways (and fast). And doing simple GUI's for controlling that conveniently.
Mathlab as experimental audio DSP workstation?

The task would be significantly simplified if you could settle for offline tests; i.e. read recorded data from a file, process the data, and then write the results back to file. If this is acceptable to you, matlab is certainly up for the task. If you require 'DSP style' real-time online capabilities, matlab might not be your best choise. Rune

Are there better choices then?

More spelling practice?

More spelling practice?The difference is important. 'Matlab' is an acronym for 'matrix laboratory' and points to the beginnings of the product, 25 years ago, when it started out as a simple user interface on top of the LINPACK/EISPACK/LAPACK libraries for linear algebra. The name 'Matlab' points directly to a lab tool for numerical operations on matrices. 'Mathlab' (with an 'h') points to the misconception that the product is a general purpose mathematical tool. Which it most definately is not. Anyway, any tool with 'lab' as part of its name should not be a first choise for developing demanding applications... Rune

More spelling practice?Have you thought about Labview from National Instruments? NI holds free one day "Hands-on Tasters" here in the UK, and I would imagine in Germany as well. This may help get you started, although be warned Labview is a pricey product! Tim

Printed on the spline is "Mathlab The Language of Technical Computing". It seems MathWorks are confused as to it's name also. Tim

The tools I would use is - portaudio library for realtime IO. I tried it once with full duplex, works nicely - fltk for a GUI, if it can't be avoided - C/C++ for coding The libraries are multiplatform, that is you can use the same code on Windows / Linux etc with no / minimal changes. This doesn't imply that those are the best tools for the job, but I'm reasonably confident that there are no "show-stoppers". Note, writing a real-time audio app isn't completely trivial.
