Yeah but mp3s always sound muddy to me...
would it be possible to post some flac versions of those pieces?

I looked for some sounds that demonstrate the difference of oscillator accuracy. All I could find are these two snips from tracks, but it's a fair comparison because;
- "Functions of Time" (1996) An all Csound composition.

- "Look Ma, No hands!" (2005) An all Pd composition.

Both use the same patch (the undulating diffraction effect). It's comparable because I translated the Csound version directly to Pd, both are 64 oscillator banks and it's clear that the Csound one sparkles while the Pd one sounds a bit muddy.
It would be good to do a Max vs Pd comparison of the same someday.

what I experience sometimes when I do very basic stuff like using phasors, is that I hear weird comb filtering of my environment after I put down my headphones. similar as if you look into bright light and then close the eyes, and you still see a review-image. regarding the difference between pd and max: are you talking about the music that people produce or are you talking about the digital signal process? m.

hey,
i was talking to a Portuguese musician tonight (Miguel Cardoso is his name) and he was saying that he thought that Pd sounded much better than Max - a fuller sound with the oscillators, he said.
i hadn't really thought about this before, but i do know that to my ears my Pd patches sound a lot richer than most Max/MSP stuff that I've heard - not sure whether that's my source material or patches or whether it's at a deeper architectural level than that.
anyone have any evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, to confirm this? reasons why this might be the case?
