As many other said before, I personally think there is nothing to compare. All of them are quite separate environments, and i mean not only computing capabilities, flexibility and GUI, but above all each community supporting the projects.<br>
"this" is not better than "that", it's only about what fit best your needs.<br>So first point out which are exactly your needs. Learning Pd can be difficult and exhausting in the beg, but once you get familiar with it, I can assure you it's only pleasure. And there is a world of things you can't do with any other software. But you have to find out what.<br>
Of course if you don't want to spend too much time _learning_ that's a different situation. Your needs will tell you.<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">

Sorry for bringing this old thread up, I find Alex's opinion very<br>
interesting. Actually I kinda feel that using Pd, I'm stuck in the process<br>
of "making the instrument instead of the music" kinda situation.Even though<br>
at first, I can custom made an instrument specific to what I want, I ended<br>
up exhausted at building the instrument first, and find myself resting for<br>
several moments before finally finishing a composition.<br>
<br>
I recently tried Reaktor, and one thing that's best is the interface, that<br>
features definitely makes me interested in learning deeper into this tool. I<br>
also tried Max/MSP, and yes I love the interface, kinda more engaging to<br>
patch things. I also recently acquired Launchpad, (with all the monome<br>
emulations build using Max/MSP, I become slowly adapt to it). But either<br>
way, I kinda stuck with Pd because this is the first audiovisual environment<br>
programming that I know and dig. So, I think, probably it will all go down<br>
to which tool we are comfort with (ugh, sounds so diplomatic, hate it).<br>
<br>
But anyway, I feel that Max/MSP produce a smoother audio than Pd, is it me<br>
or does anyone feel this too?<br>
