[LAU] Common Music - Importing audio files, and pointers to learning material?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

thanks Dave and Bruno for the replies. I was keen on Common Music,
having programmed in Lisp for a number of years, but I did have a look
at SuperCollider, and certainly my use case was trivial with it. Time to
experiment. 

Thanks a lot,
Ángel
