Hi David, What is your goal, ie what would you like to DO, exactly?
The reason I ask is PD and Max, technically, are programming languages (sort of *furrows brow*). Your mention of Pro Tools and Final Cut and such makes me think that you may be on the wrong track with something like PD/Max. I don't know though, so I asked what exactly you'll be wanting to do :) -- Aaron ----- Original Message ----- From: "marius schebella" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Schaffer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "pd list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2007 10:59 PM Subject: Re: [PD] a general discussion about which software to learn: pd, max, both... or else? > Hi David, > It depends very much on what you want to do with the program and what > the people around you know and use.
