SubjectA personal introduction.
Hello! This is going to be an introduction of me, as I'm a newbie in
this mailinglist.
My name is Anders Andersson, and i'm a 19 years old student from sweden.

My ways to CSound is quite strange...

    For a about half a year ago i was planning to code
    a Yamaha DX100 emulator, but i had some trouble
    with the term "cent", so I went over to the local
    library to see if I could find some books about it.
    I found a book called "Computer Music".
    I found this book VERY interesting, and started
    to study it a bit more..
    There was this strange "music language" they kept
    talking about, that seemed pretty cool and useful,
    so i started to search the internet for "music v",
    "music iv" and so on, but with no success.
    I was planning to code a brand new dialect of this
    strange program, until something great happened.
    I was searching the internet for tools that I could
    use with my Dx100, and stumbled upon some strange
    programs that I DL'ed. Didn't know what they where
    or even if I should have any use of it. Among these
    was 'CSound'. The marvelous program did exist!

This is how I got CSound.
No to what I'm planning to do with it.

    I tried out some of the examples that where shipped
    with this version, and all of them sound 'crap',
    imho. I know that you can make almost everything
    with this program, so I will try to compile a whole
    CD (audio) of fine ballades, stompin' dance beats,
    subtle movie themes, and smoking trance. =D

There you go.
Feel free to leave comments on this letter!

I think also there is something that makes me stand out
on this list: I'm using the Amiga for all my developing!
There is still a problem with this. The latest version of
CSound for Amiga is V3.40 (Jul 14 1996), so it's a bit
outdated, and the one who compiled it for amiga seems to
have left the project, so I'm planning to try to compile
it myself.
(There is still a minor problem though. I don't know C yet.. :)




(forgive me for my very poor english, but I hope you'll understand!)
