"Well, giggle me more, Lawrence," I thought as I read your response to Doug
("I'll stop now and roll on my back, purring - you may want to look away").
And you did giggle me more just now with your Pully- and Cog-controlled
Knives software which is "very costly in replacements; and people are
beginning to ask questions." ;-)

>Please excuse the interruption
a welcome interruption
Back to the software, which you can get for nothing (assuming access
to an internet connection). Nothing free (as in beer) has worked
better for me than Buzz, which is Windows-only - see
http://www.buzzmachines.com for downloads.
I dont know Buzz and will look at it, thanks
audacity I know
dont have linux tho i intend to experiment - probably after the 30 hour day
comes in
>CSound is
amazingly powerful. But also amazingly hard, being based on a kind of
assembly language for sound design. It's worth a look if the
expression "assembly language for sound design" doesn't bring you out
in a cold sweat. I kind of need a spare life to do all that stuff
in...
sounds intriguing. as you say a spare life would help
i recall learning a lot more theoretically about graphics and in terms of
programming, only to find that while I had been engrossed - I used it as a
way to displace the side effects of a marriage break up - graphics packages
had got better to the point i didnt really need what i had learned!
i try to do as much as i can prior to recording and to interfere as little
as possible
I was very lucky - as well as often being surrounded by an amazing
collection of sterong practitioners when I was young, I also got ad hoc
training from one or two of the best if only to stop me asking them for
help! i'm talking analog here; but the advice i got and what i learned by
just lurking and watching transferred easily into digital
I'm told GarageBand on
the Mac is quite fun
fun, dont talk to me about fun... but it's quick
if i had a mac i'd want garageband
i take the point about falling prices - perhaps someone could topple them
certainly i am not stuck on soundforge, though i am willing for it to be
superglued to me, and will mess around... it was just what i had used on
that occasion and i used it now to mean reliable software
this machine i have has no soundcard - instead it has a complex series of
pullies and cogs controlling knives which inflict different intensities and
kinds of pain on small mammals
it's very costly in replacements; and people are beginning to ask questions
