The Backlog

Posted on by

I’m reposting all the Csound Blog posts from the original site.  The write-ups are stored within the Csound files themselves.  I’m really looking forward to posting new content, and will hopefully have something up by the end of the week.  Without further ado:

On the Up

Posted on by

The Csound community has been making strides to improve the user-experience, and this effort is really beginning to shine through.

Csound now ships with QuteCsound, a new integrated frontend that comes loaded with extras.  The Csound @ Sourceforge page has been given a facelift, in terms of both looks and content.  The developers are taking much greater care to make sure installers work with as few as problems as possible.  This is only the beginning.

If you have tried Csound in the past, but had problems getting up and running, now is a good time to give it another try. If you do run into problems, don’t keep these issues to yourself.  Report them here or the mailing list, and these problems will be taken care of.

Thanks to all the hard work of the developers and others in the community, as it seems that Csound has a promising future.

Csound Music mp3 Pack

Dr. Boulanger has put up a wondeful collection of Csound mp3s at Csounds.com.

Download 4csoundCompositions.zip (99.1 MB)

The pack comes with 20 songs, with everything from ambient to minimal to cheesy techno (that would be my piece) to synth-generated halloween sound fx.  All of the original source code is included in case you are curious to see what these compositions look like in their original state.

The Csound Blog is moving to Noisepages

Csound Dseq Drum Machine

In 2006, I started The Csound Blog, a site dedicated to all the quirky goodness of Csound. I haven’t touched it in years, but have been pondering starting it back up for quite some time.  I’ve decided to move forward with it, and I’m moving it over to Noisepages in the process.

Starting today, I will begin migrating the original posts to its new home here.  Then after that, the real fun begins.
