I played around with Csound for a time. It's very interesting, but not very user friendly. It's intended for more academic, experimental use. For other purposes, you'll do better with a more graphical, user friendly synth.
Still, I think it's interesting to lay hands on it. But it's an extremely unfriendly programming language. It looks like assembly language.
In any case, if you use it, use it only to make the sounds, not to compose. Enterint notes is a pain, but you can generate some notes and then use them as samples.

By the way, I saw another post of yours in which you claim Csound is one of the most powerful sound synthesis languages. It certainly is. If you can't synthesize a sound with Csound, then you probably can't synthesize it at all. The drawback is that it's difficult to master.

speaking of making music in csound, in BT's latest album, This Binary Universe the first track was composed entirely in csound - and it took him and his team a half year to program it. taking in consideration that BT has been working with csound for years it tells a lot of things about the ease of it's use when it comes to composing...
anyways, here's the song: all that makes us human... |

Thank you guys so much fo your replies an the link. My memory is so bad. I did not rememeber my own post for Christ Shake.  Yes its true I am aware of CSOUND , I have a book that talks very briefly about it . At the moment I only need CSOUND for specific tasks. Mainly sounscapes and textures - effects. I have a Yamaha ES6 and Waldorf Blofeld , so there is no need to make my life difficult . But I have experience with programming c++, delphi and some assembly. So It should not very difficult for me to learn this.
At the moment I using MacCsound which has a quite good GUI.
Zepsi , where are you?
Did you make anything with CSOUND?

Thanks for the link oldbrian. I was searching about it . Amazing stuff. That shows how powerful is Csound at making weird noises. Credits to BT from using the difficult way to make beautiful music. There are not many pros who do so. Maybe that is why good music becomes extinct .

I'm here, I'm here! I only made one song with it, called Android in a Cloud of Flies. The synths were programmed from scratch, then played using a midi controller keyboard. No fancy stuff, and no "sequencing" in the language (the sequenced stuff towards the end was done in MAX/MSP).
What a horrible night to have a curse.
