Hello Pedro, All,

I would sincerely appreciate any assistance you can provide in pointing me
towards materials, papers, books, tutorials and any other relevant references
that might give me a general understanding on the topic.
The main venues, I think, are and have been for many years:
Audio Engineering Society
Proceedings and Journal
https://www.aes.org/publications/
International Conference on Digital Audio Effects (DAFx)
Proceedings and Book
https://www.dafx.de
ACM Conference on Multimedia Proceedings
(search ACM database)
IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and
Acoustics (WASPAA, Mohonk)
https://signalprocessingsociety.org/event-names/waspaa
(search IEEE database)
You should be able to find survey articles within these. AES would be my
first stop for broadcast engineering.
On the musical performance side there is NIME, ICMC and SMC conferences,
and Computer Music Journal.
For live music performance I'd say anything and everything is fair game
these days. If it can be implemented in soft, firm or hard silicon it is
being used by someone somewhere for live music performance. If you're
not already familiar with the standard domain-specific language
platforms you should look at Max/MSP, Pd, SuperCollider, CSound, Kyma
and FAUST (most of these are open-source or at least open for deep
inspection, with extensive documentation about the signal processing
techniques). And then there's the commercial DAW software such as
ProTools and Ableton Live. Then there are also large ecosystems of VST
and AudioUnit plugins developed by corporations and individuals large
and small. Also IRCAM have a long history of publishing signal
processing software for musicians. All these are widely used by
musicians for over 20 years and implement most techniques.
For a historical perspective there is Curtis Roads' The Computer Music
Tutorial book. It is not up to date with the latest trends, but I think
you'd be missing something if you overlooked it.
Finally, all of the major research groups have their own publication
databases. For example
MTG Barcelona
https://www.upf.edu/web/mtg/research/publications
CCRMA, Stanford
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/papers
I'm not sure where the hot places are today, would be interested to hear
from others.
Hope that helps,
Ross.
