[PD] nusmuk_audio WAS: Max Smoother Audio than Pd?

[Alexandre Porres]

Oh, wasn't the metaphor clear, really?

well, no problem, here you go then... once more...

We don't care to know if someone says; "Hey, I got a clarinet", we wanna
know what he is doing with it, in a sense that it'd make more sense if the
person would come and say; "Hey, check out, look what I do with my
clarinet". The point here is to emphasize the instrument as a tool, a media,
something that you use to make an idea come true... so the point, in the
end, is to present this idea. the media should not be the interesting thing,
but the result!

So maybe you need and want a shitty clarinet to achieve the objective you
have, maybe you need a quite expensive one. Nevertheless, the point is what
you do with it.

As I said, that are things you can only do in Pd... which is basically when
you need to program something. If you dont see that, maybe you dont need it!

And since we need to program it, we are the ones doing the thing, Pd is not
doing much for us. And yeah, you build stuff with it. So maybe you should
not waste your time building things that are already there, why reinvent the
wheel? If you can do something in Pd, it doesn't mean it has to be done in
Pd, or that is easier to do it with it.

So, anyway, if you build something in Pd that does not work, it is your
fault, not Pd's... if you built a clarinet in it that does not do what you
want and need, maybe you should ask a guy who's good at clarinet building...

hope it was clearer now, can't make it clearer than that I guess, by the
way...

take care
