i tried to learn sc once, but i got distracted. i really like the cecilia frontend for csound. I've gotten some really interesting results from it-- will have to try some of these.

oh - there was an article discussed where you turn Csound into a VSTi.
thought that was a weird twist. sorory. Csound VST 5.05 Win32 ships with VST capabilities.
installing.....

i've used csound quite a lot. its really versatile but sucks down cpu like crazy. there's a reason why no one uses it anymore. its unstable, unreliable and inefficient. you can still get some great samples from it, so its still good as a non realtime sample creator. csound wasn't originally intended to be realtime, so it is weak in that area. csoundAV i find to be much more reliable than csound 5, but you lose the new opcodes (like polyphony management). i'd go with supercollider for text based realtime synthesis (max, pd and reaktor are still your best options for realtime).

i got it working as a vst in cubase once, and have failed trying to get it to work several times. in xp you have to add your csound folder as a classpath. also, you need to cross your fingers and say three hail marys. i wish i knew exactly how i got it going, but it was something like that.

there's a frontend called blue that looks like a multitracker. i've never got it working, but it looks like it could be fun.
