I think, a beginner will find some useful, interesting things in SND, 
before the learning curve starts to become very steep. In Fact SND can 
be used for many things like granular synthesis, basic filtering or 
dynamics before you learn a single command for its scripting language.

But if you really want to control what is going on in SND you will have 
to learn the basics of its command line interface.
