Matlab (or Octave? Yikes!!) to make music. Heh, I feel
pitty for the guy
that actually did it -- it must have been pure hell to describe music in
mathematical terms.
I would say it is great to have the both. Obviously.
Right now, ACID 4 supports ASIO, DX, VSTi softsynths,
midi I/O, routing in
and out on anything available by your hardware, effects automation.... give
it a score support and will beat anything hands down (maybe we'll see that
on version 5?).
That's true Acid seems to embrasse very simple midi scoring even in the 4.0
version and there is softsynths.
In my precedant post to Patrick i said acid is kind of a multitrack editor,
it is much more than that now. So i agree Acid can be taken as an all-in-one.
I was a little wrong in my answer. Although i would be very happy to have
only the audio editor which is the historic base of acid, and where belongs
its specificity imho.
...the problem is that we don't have that much to
put on that big "rack" that JACK provides us. Or, at least, we don't have
much of it working the way ACID does.... "painting" music.
That's it. BTW it should be noted that JACK is more or less a clone of Rewire
that exists for years under Windoz, another Steinberg innovation although
Rewire work only for the apps that comply to the (not-open ?) standard.
(i guess).
be long gone. Yes, you've guessed right, CSound
would be completely useless
for me. Call me dumb, but I simply can't "connect" to this way of
thinking.
I've done my share of perl programming so I'm not a complete "virgin"
in
the coding area. Yet programming and artistic expression have no sharing
fields in my mind. And I don't think that I'm alone on this one.
I jump on this comment from Gerasimos, in fact i am very happy to be able to
return to a classic midisequencer like Muse. I was a great fan of Logic years
ago. Then i got interested in Csound, in the same time in Linux and lost
interest in big sequencer.
Theses day i still use PD to make musical algorythms but MusE is my way to
gather the audio tracks with some midi parts along too.
I couldn't do a song purely in algorythm. :))
Concerning Csound i don't use it much, but it is great to be able to
integrate it. Even if rarely, to make weird textures for instance.
In fact on a musical forum website some other people have started a thread
about Csound and i have seized the opportunity to reinvest some interest into
Csound thru a starting collective project... I am quite happy... in fact we
want everything... ;)

commandant cousteau ;))) let's say it's just an impression...
