What I decided to do is use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_A...

I know it's javascript and that it's definitely not the best choice for sound manipulation, but I'll learn a lot from practicing. C++ has a very steep learning curve and even if I understood music theory( which I dont, just a bass player ), I wouldn't be able to express myself in C++. So, decided to learn some music theory and implement this theory in javascript code.

If you have decided to stay in javascript then I wouldn't be of much help. Most of my focus is on hard-realtime audio generation and processing and languages like javascript are unsuitable for that task. C/C++ introduce a variety of new concepts which may lead to a steep learning curve, but the same can be said about learning many other languages for the first time. Additionally I would like to say that audio programming and music theory are very separate areas when it comes to learning each topic.
