What strike me when reading this manual (as with the pd manual) is that it is an amazing way to learn about Sound and Digital sound. There's a real contrast with the way that using out of the box solutions like those from Adobe which do a lot to hide how things work in the name of usability. <br>
<br>However whereas a lot of people express this, it's great to see such good work to help people break it down. It makes me want to just take time off and learn about this stuff. <br><br>I was so happy to see a guy in manchester take advantage of the local free computer access point in manchester to do PD workshops to a really wide variety of people and see them love learning for the sake of knowledge. <br>
<br>I'm interested in how the exercises which help reinforce learning can be integrated in our manuals - and would love to check out different examples. <br>I know that there was a suggestion of a separate manuals for exercises but to me that seems a shame. <br>

well...i dont want to over play it BUT the csound manual is
AMAZING....check it out:<br>
<a href="http://www.flossmanuals.net/csound/" target="_blank">http://www.flossmanuals.net/csound/</a><br>
<br>
It is comprehensive and astonishing easy to read. The csound crew
had been working on this quietly in the background for about a
year now i think and then this week did a sprint to finish it in
Berlin. It looks incredible.<br>
<br>
Many many congrats to the crew...especially to Joachim who was the
lead cat hurder :)<br>
<br>
amazing work<br>
