Reggie, Hove you never hadthe experience of hearing a timber and then ~not~ being able to re-create it, not even close?
Yes and no. I've had the experience of looking at a picture of a waveform and
imagining what it must sound like, and being completely wrong; I've looked at
the math for a wave or the CSound code for a wave and imagined it and been
way off; I've had ideas for how do create a sound in CSound that ended up
generating errors because much of the sound ended up being sub- or super-sonic
or had massive wave cancellation; but any waveform I've been able to actually
hear in my head, I've been able to eventually create. Granted, it *has* taken
as long as 7 or 8 months before, some of that due to not having learned the
proper tools yet, and some due to not fully understanding the tools I had
(CSound can be monstrously complex; _The CSound Book_ edited by Richard
Boulanger is the definitive guide but even at 740 pages -- that's 23 print
chapters -- plus an additional 43 chapters on cd-rom, it barely scratches the
surface of what CSound can do).
