Re: [microsound] trading csound files?

Hi Mark,

I've been doing a bit if Csound for the last year now.  I'm studying up in
Boston with Richard Boulanger and right now am making a phrase looper in
Csound that is intended (hopefully) to work in realtime for performances.

THen i can email the list so they can come watch a performance of a guy
playing guitar and another guy sitting behind a laptop at the same time so
they will all be happy :)

So the first recomendation i have for Csound is to find one chapter in the
book, or one type of technology, be it phase vocoder or FM or additive
synthesis or granular or anything that interests you and just focus on it.
If you don't do that at first, I find it can be a bit overwhelming and a
slower process to learn.  Actually the Csound Language is pretty simple, but
the ammount of different synthesis tool at your disposal is huge.  I started
out doing phase vocoder for a little while then moved to the scanned
synthesis  and now ive been trying to get realtime ideas to come out.  I'll
look for some of my instruments, but they can be a bit confusing as i didn't
document them well.

Have you checked out the Csounds.com webpage and looked at the Csound
Magazine?  I find the magazine to be especially good.
