Hello,

its the same as computerprogramming. In the beginning everything seems to be
difficult, but later you will learn to transform your imagination into
functioning code. As programmer you will discover how and what you do need to
approach but in the first time you will got a lot of frustrations. But with
this in mind I even got FM synthesis nearly handled :)

The difficult with CSound is that the parameters are not scaled like in
commercial synthesizers. Their parameters got a limited range which leads
imidently to musical sounds but they are totaly depend on the views of the
manufacturer. In cSound everything is possible and so often you render pure
noise or silence. But don't give up, it is a feature and freedom!

With friendly greetings,

               Malte
