Software '''audio synthesis environmentenvironments'''s typically consist of an [[audio programming language]] (which may be [[Visual programming language|graphical]]) and a user environment to design/run the language in. Although many of these environments are comparable in their abilities to produce high-quality audio, their differences and specialties are what draw users to a particular platform. This article compares noteworthy audio synthesis environments, and enumerates basic issues associated with their use.
