Help with audio visualizer

Question

Im new to this website, and mostly to any type of programming. Recently Im trying to learn C++(Game Programming), and my father wants me to make him a web-based application, that flashes the window wether there is any sound playing(I believe it's called an audio visualization), I talked to my brother, and he said that I should do an external application in C++ or Java. He lend me a book about GUI with QT, but the problem is I don't know how or where to start with, Im installing the QT, although I dont know how to add a library to Microsoft Visual C++(I tried but I had some problems, hopefully qt will do everything automatically), but I wanted to know if anyone has any advice,suggestion or any help to give me. Im pretty much a beginner, this will be my 1st application ever made(with C++ at least) and Im really scared. Thank you for the time wasted reading this, I know I wrote a lot, but I wanted to be the more descriptive I could.

Thank you beforehand.

This might be a bit late, but they are right.

Though, if you really want to, I would look into FMOD.

Here's an example using FMOD & OpenGL.
