well I knew that not everything's easy, I was just pointingg out that that I never really thought about creating stuff that way, what I did to start with just to play around with is to go into goldwave, create a new file, go to tools|expression evaluator. Type in syn(3200*t) in that format, you'll get a tone. However you can do ootles of stuff with it, I managed to create very interesting and creepy results, with pitch control, and I turned it into some wacky drum beat, which I deleted, darn! It needed a lot of work though, so I fired up Audition and generated white noise. Then I mixed both the sounds together with goldwave's mix command, and used a dopler from audition. Came out freaky. I deleted it though to save myself from doing very nasty stuff with that file. My point is that nothing's easy, just like you said tom. Now I gonna play with audition right now. Just to play around with.
