Chuck looks very interesting.. http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/

The main reason I abandoned Csound back in the day is because I was
trying to mainly work with samples and I could not figure out how to
avoid loud annoying clicks.

In my more recent efforts one goal was to avoid any kind of learning
curve although by this point in time Chuck looks pretty straight
forward to me.

Although some of the code seems to impose some philosophical
challenges..

"while( now < later )" 

What the f...??? time is just a loop.. time is just a loop.. etc etc
etc


My script at this point is extremely portable assuming your sound input
is in text file format ..hehe

Also since I am avoiding being a laptop performer (no offense to anyone
who is..simply my preference) I don't really care if my perl script is
live or not. In some perverse way I like that it is anything but
realtime.. it's an interesting limitation especially since I am
performing live more than ever.

I have enough time into my Perl script that I will of course move
forward and try to finish it's second manifestation and will probably
proceed to add the wav capabilities.

Pros of chuck are: It's free, It appears very capable, It's available
on all the major platforms, appears relatively easy.

I have toyed with the idea of getting back into MAX but now I may have
too.. thanks

Adrian
