@20Hz I haven't seen anyone mention #csound in a while! I only recently started learning #max/MSP, but I really like it so far.

Cool! I only use it occasionally. I use max/msp a lot more.

How are you learning max/msp ? Through a book/tutorial/videos/experimentation?

@20Hz One of the other departments at Berklee where I teach has the app in their curriculum, so I bought one of the textbooks they use.

@mjjohnson Oh cool. that is a good one! Easy to understand. Really precise and definite instructions and there are a lot useful tools that come with it.

@20Hz I learned Csound a while ago, but I haven't touched it for a few years. I only have time to work on max/MSP during the summers, so it's a bit slow going.

@mjjohnson

it's an awesome creative tool! It's well worth any effort you might put into it. What are you using it for or planning to use it for?

@20Hz For a while I was creating experimental electronic music. I released a record of it 7-8 years ago. But recently I have been doing more conventional rock, pop and jazz stuff, both as a producer and as an artist. Mostly ProTools, Logic, and some Ableton. I want to get back to the experimental stuff at some point, though.

@mjjohnson Great. Yeah well the sky is the limit these days with the tools available now. It blows my mind sometimes what we can be done with them

@20Hz What kinds of things are you doing with it?

@mjjohnson Mostly experimental electronic music. I sometimes use jit to create digital art. My avatar on here is a product of that.
