hello. 

 

i just subscribed to this list and hope it is quite active.  i recently discovered Pd through my interest in Max/MSP.  unfortunately i dont have the funds neccessary to really get involved with it at the moment, and it looks like Pd would be a good alternative. 

 

is Pd a good application for live audio performance?

 

since i know absolutely NOTHING about Pd, and dont know anyone that does, where can i find some useful information in regards to getting started and getting a feel for it?  i absorb complicated technical information quite well, but i dont have a background in anything similar. 

 

any help at all is greatly greatly appreciated.
