Csound 1st steps

http://csounds.com eventually has most everything you could possibly want to know about Csound — except how to get it running! If you go to the Beginners link at that site, there are tutorials and other material but nothing to really point you at how to get Csound installed and running. So that’s where these pages come in.

The first thing to do is go to the page: Getting and installing it and follow the guidelines laid out there.

  • About this blog!

    This is sort of a catch-all site for me to write about anything that comes time mind involving my use of computers to write music. Since around 2007 I've gotten back into algorithmic composition and the use of open source tools. In particular, you'll see posts about Csound and ChucK. In 2008, the One Laptop Per Child group (www.laptop.org) made available many gigbytes of samples and loops, completely copyright-free, for people to use in their work. I recommend you check that out as well (there's a page in this site for it). Pages vs. Posts on this blog: Pages are more along the lines of articles whereas the Blog posts are just random observations. There's no sharp distinction between the two however. Maybe someday, I'll organize it better. But probably not. (Incidentally I really like this "Digg 3 Column" theme...)
