anyway, whatever I'd say after this, the answer would be that I'm not a good musician, or that pd is not made for me, or even worth, that I don't have a good taste in music, etc... I think this is silly to enter into this, because I just want to contribute with my 'small' inputs, in spite of my small vocabulary.
My conclusion is that pd isn't ready yet to put it at a very important place in composition, like a workstation, period. Also, many thanks for showing me the work of Richard Barret! ----- Mail Original ----- De: "João Pais" <[email protected]> Cc: "pd-list" <[email protected]> Envoyé: Mercredi 21 Avril 2010 14h28:31 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Berne / Rome / Stockholm / Vienne Objet: Re: [PD] nusmuk_audio WAS: Max Smoother Audio than Pd? >> So maybe you need and want a shitty clarinet to achieve the objective >> you have, maybe you need a quite expensive one.

Conclusion: don't blame the clarinets, stop giving them wrong pieces. Don't assume that one clarinet is worthless because he's being given the right material to play with. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
