before jumping in

Post by hussey » Mon Aug 30, 2010 1:23 pm

Have my 250 and ready to splash but was just looking for some last minute feedback on M4l. im into creating experimental music and what can be achieved in max/msp is unreal. I have gathered all the resources together to learn max/msp but their is still this niggling little doubt that i wont understand the application. Im willing to learn for sure but is their a reason for me to feel like this? Also i know that the tutorials are the best place for learning but does anyone have any techniques for learning e.g one tutorial a day etc....

Any feedback is really appreciated

Hey man,

If you dont have any experience with programming or dsp, and suck at math, have bad organizational skills, and smoke a spliff first thing in the morning, I guess you will struggle a bit learning this stuff :)
It is a bit more complicated than flipping the Reason rack around, but, if you focus on a little part of MAx, like building midi gadgets, its not that hard

I say go for it!

Several hours or days...this is what makes me feel pretty dumb :|

Do you have an IQ > 150 or something?
