Re: [microsound] chuck or supercollider ?



It's worth trying them both, I think they're quite different, and you could very well find inspiration in either of them. However, in terms of relative levels of development, Supercollider wins hands-down. Chuck does some cool things with scheduling, but it doesn't seem to have the huge toolset that SC has. Take a look at: (a) the sc-users mailing list, which is huge, busy, and chock full of helpful people, (b) JITLib, SC's realtime coding/patching component, which is fantastic (it comes bundled with sc), and (c) SC's pattern and stream classes (for generating sequences of events), which are incredibly powerful and pretty much unique amongst music languages. Those were the real killer features for me.
