what I experience sometimes when I do very basic stuff like using 
phasors, is that I hear weird comb filtering of my environment after I 
put down my headphones. similar as if you look into bright light and 
then close the eyes, and you still see a review-image.
regarding the difference between pd and max: are you talking about the 
music that people produce or are you talking about the digital signal 
process?
