Hi Graham,



you should type in the name of the audio-file which you want to be

created by csound (expl.: "newsound") between the command "csound" and
the orc/sco:



	example: csound -W -o newsound new.orc new.sco



After compiling, you can edit your soundfile by using any sample-editor

(cool edit, soundforge, ...).



The command -o devaudio transmitts the sound directly to the output of

your AWE.





You should try "csounder", which is sort of a graphical user interface

for csound and PC/Win. The command line is created by csounder itself,
you just type in the orc- and the sco-file with your favourite text
editor and click on the compile-"flash"-symbol. After compiling, you can
hear your masterpiece by double clicking on the wav-file, which appears
in a list:

In adition to that, there is a  CSound Win95 Realtime MIDI version by

G.Maldonado



	 http://www.agora.stm.it/G.Maldonado/download.htm



which will interact perfectly with your P200/AWE.




I´m making experiments on csound for 3 weeks (also newbie!), and I´m
glad to read that other people on this planet have the same difficulties
like me just to get one tiny sound out of csound. So after producing
the weirdest sounds with modular synthesizers for years, I was dancing
in my room when my first "c-sound" came creeping out of the speakers.
I was feeling like Columbus felt when he discovered America, listened
over and over again to this unbelievable phenomenon of a 440hz sinus-
wave.





If you`re interested, we may stay in contact using private mail. (I have

a similar setup and I think there will be lots of little and big
problems to solve...)
