Pd people continue to ignore Csound, and Csound people continue to ignore Pd, despite the great power of combining them. I can't help feeling like this is a symptom of being more interested in some intellectual problem than in using all of the available tools to make music. Not seeing the forest for the trees, in a way.
this is somewhat true, but ignores the fact that Pd is well established _outside_ the computer music community too.
you cannot expect dsp-engineers developping the latest-and-greatest binaural rendering system to get into csound. (but they do use Pd)
Fair enough. Csound is indeed audiocentric, as am I. I just know Csound has already implemented HRTF, and exists as a PD object, which I thought the poster wanted. If his interest is in pulling an abstraction apart to see how it works, then Csound probably isn't the easiest way. As far as computer music, it's true that I come across few people who are active on both lists, and occasional disparaging remarks about one or the other. I guess the best thing for me to do in that case is to try to show some of the great things that can come from the combination, rather than complaining about negativity.
