Subjectlooking for FAQ!
Hi, my name is Matt and it would appear that both this link:

 The ftp site is at ftp.hmc.edu /pub/csound

and these...

 FAQ is at http://coos.dartmouth.edu/~dupras/Csound/Csound.faq.html
 http://music.dartmouth.edu/~dupras/wCsound/csoundpage.html


...are out of date.  Hate to join a new mailing list without reading the
FAQ, but an AltaVista source turns up no valid sites.  What's the current
status these days?

Huh, looks like they finally axed that directory -- I haven't been
there for a couple of years.  It never really got off the ground anyway.

The latter works for me, and has a working link to a version of the FAQ
(which says it was last modified in '95, by the way).  

 is a pretty good
starting point, too.

aha, timing is critical!  seems the main page is back:
http://music.dartmouth.edu/~dupras/wCsound/csoundpage.html

A big 'thanks' to the folks who took time out from their thesis sessions to
get the page back online!

Is that meant to be :

a) Nyquist, Theory and Soul Management

.. in which case, who appointed you as Mr. Nyquist's guru / religious
advisor?

or, 

b) Nyquist Theory and [its applications in] Soul Management 

.. So when I do something not worthy of my character, can I blame it on
aliasing?



Just wondering...

I think blaming character flaws on aliasing would, unfortunately, only
strike a chord with a crowd that would then tell you to use anti-aliasing
filters.  And then the sudden realization would set in that us tech heads
need to get out more.  ;-) 

no one has ever noticed my goofy sig.  guess I should take a moment
then.  Uh... well... it's part my total fascination with sound in general,
the fascination with the concept of the Nyquist frequency, and a tribute
to the man himself.

It's also part joke about myself--influenced by a guy at work who poked a
bit of fun at the strange lyrics of the Front 242 I would listen to.
(Soul Manager is a track from Tyranny for You)

Anyway, now that that's out of the way, I hope to post MUCH more relevant
stuff to the list in the future (most likely in the form of questions) as I
start to delve into Csound.  I've printed out the postscript version of the
manual and I'm trying to hack into it now.  

Would anyone care to comment on how/why they use Csound?
