Re: [sc-users] How did you learn SC? (was: Textures, drones)



Hi

My story:

I was into dreammy rock and post production, while at the same time doing first a bachelors in physics and latter switched to maths (physics wasn’t rigorous enough...). Then I got to know max/msp, started using it a lot. First time I heard of sc, I downloaded it, opened it and a blank window came up. I though it was the most ridiculous program I had ever seen, couldn’t do anything with it, I just closed it and didn’t touch for one year or so. Then I enrolled in the sonology course in Den Haag. 
  By chance the supercollider symposium (2007) was happening just when I got there (september, I think), and I went there. It seemed quite interesting stuff, and in fact I already knew a bit of c, c++, java. I learned the basics in about one month following the symposium, and from then on it’s the only thing I’ve used for my sound work !!!
 
There’s a lot of sc users at sonology (or ex-sonologists) like Jacob, Yota, Wouter, etc.
