Well, when a handful of mega corps own it all from stealing everything we can demand a UBI or they lose their heads. Then we can kick back and make music all day.

Anyway, I don't agree with you, rwdobson. Ive been using Claude.ai, and Perplexity.ai to build full on standalone supercollider apps. It get something wrong and you tell it the error you have a full on app after working out the kinks. Im at basic level skill in sc. Yeah, It's not fair, but you know, the geniuses that can code all these amazing apps. I go and listen to their stuff and it is invariably awful. I have yet to hear a musical talent who also is the programmer extraordinaire. So, maybe lowering the barrier to entry to apps like cdp and SC to actual artists might give us better music. Yeah, I seriously doubt it took Claude or prox.ai "thousands or even milions of person-hours" to learn Supercollider. An app that no one cares about it.

I see a lot of bad mouthing of Ai mostly from people in Tech. All of a sudden they are luddites, ironically,  You know full well the hands with 20 fingers will have normal fingers in less than 10 months. Ai will be designing a better flute for you in your old age. It is not going away. If we know anything it is that tech improves at an exponential rate. Or whatever Moore's law is. Hell of a lot better than the medical world, sadly.
Maybe people are scared I don't know.

go to changpt if you feel to. Ask it to do something for terminal. Anything. It is incredibly good at Terminal. All CDP can be done in terminal. Instead of a gui. Teach it CDP and let us talk to it . Ask it to do this and that, It will spit out all the information you need to make a sound file.

I get it, hard work is the only way. But I don't think there is anything wrong with a different approach. Sometimes you get manual fatigue. It's not the only thing Im learning. Im reading about supercollider, about production, about sound design. Some people also suffer with adhd, and it takes forever to get anywhere, but are still very creative people. Its like you didn't read my post

Not lint , line. Sorry

Hi, I've been using supercollider with Claude for a little while now and it's very good at programming super collider including gui apps if it does something wrong you just tell it the error and it fixes it and I'm talking about programming , .. terminal commands would be nothing to this thing so I think it would be really interesting if CDP Could be put into one of these LLM's and the write terminal commands for cdp to say -  I want to do this process in this way then into this process in this way and then it types it all out for you as a file and bam. ChatGPT is very good at at terminal so I wanted to say maybe that could be an option I know there's maybe moral issues some people have with some of these LLM's,  but they can provide access to people without having to spend a year reading you know and reading and reading, also. Are the workshops for working with Terminal on a Mac somewhere? I had them but wasn't sure if they've been updated or not. Thank you

I am into work flow, I have to enjoy the process. Maybe a separate program could be made that is more of a see what happens app, where it combines processes in a random way under the hood. For fun.

Huh? This is the issue with cdp, it’s a pain to use. 
Has anyone actually used Tabula Vigilans ? Where’s the music if they did?

Is it possible to get some batch files made for the processes for Osx?  Maybe they  could run in terminal perhaps?

I’m trying to use cdp without the tediousness, otherwise what is the point of it if it isn’t fun.
Maybe some randomness added to the parameters so you can run the file and get a new thing each time?
Instead of an approach of fine tuning everything with exactness,  a more random approach, with less options but quicker results. Thanks

I’m enjoying using it in terminal. Only thing missing I guess is a little breakpoint app.
Hopefully I’ll continue using it this way.  I’ll keep u posted on my progress.

I was in communication with Robert about this. Im Frank, fbfrankb5 at gmail, I never got around to doing the lessons for the terminal in oSX. Life got in the way.  I re-downloaded the lessons and Im ready to get going with it. Robert, your old email doesn't work. Were there updates to the Course Materials for the CreativeSoundDesign class?  If so, I'm all for an update. If not, I'll just go through these texts. There seems to be about 20 in all. I'll let you know how it goes.

Im getting
"The Program 'listdate' Is Not Functioning.
Cannot Generate Date-Stamped Names For Stored Workspace Listings."

error and it shuts down

Never mind. I installed windows 10 with boot camp. We'll see how it goes that way

Oh and I payed for cdp. Like 200 plus usd. I can feel the gumption to keep this up is losing its luster, but I bet most people using cap paid for it

Maybe it won't work on a new Mac, but the manual hasn't been updated since 2007. Curious if an older version might work better/ make more sense

Im using soundloom on my Mac and like it fine. I keep getting warnings that the " (insert prog) is not optimized for your Mac and needs to be updated." but it still works.
