| Hi all,
Since there have been several questions on the list about
this topic, I tried to concoct some kind of instructions on
installating Csound for DOS/Windows (snipped from notes in
my win help file and html-converted).
Get (or view) them from
http://hem.passagen.se/rasmuse/PCinstal.htm
There are several links to topics in the regular html manual,
so the file should be saved to the same directory to work
properly (this is perhaps silly - when you have the whole
system installed you wouldn't need the file. Oh well).
See what you think.

This is why it makes sense to use dam. It used an averaged power calculation to
decided if the volume has to be compressed or expanded. Also, by ensuring the
attack is not to fast w.r.t. your signal's content, you do not degrade its
harmonic content.

I want to throw in a caveat on this one too: if you run your whole mix
through a comp/limiter, it's going to sound like it's been through a
comp/limiter. If you haven't used one before, your piece may sound
just fine until it's burned to CD, at which point you learn to hear
the artifacts. They can be tricky to use. (I've never had occasion to
try dam in particular.)

Hi,
Just curious if anyone has a Dx7.orc file already constructed. I came
across an interesting page and thought something like it would be useful
from csound.

Hi, there
If this is off topic, please let me know.
Since I first got intersted in csound and dsp, I have always been
wondering whether there are some methods when I want to generate a
specific sound? As a programmer, I know that there are a lot of
algorithms to realize some result I expect. But as for sound
generation, I have learned AM, FM, waveshaping... but have no idea
about what to do when I really think out of a sound. What I have to
do is just trying again and again. Sometimes I got what I want, but
it is very seldom for me. Could someone tell me what to do?
Regards

I have found (and fixed) a small problem in the shaker opcode, which
had the effect of limiting the range of amplitudes available, and
muting the instrument for amplitudes below 16000. I will replace
systems as soon as I can. (version 3.473)
I found this when I tried to use it in more that a test. Still like
the sound though.
