Let's kick off some discussion in here!

I've been tryinging to learn MAX for the last couple months. Building simple synth is cool, but I've stalled out. It looks like my local community college offers a class, so I'm hoping to get some more intentional learning in beyond YouTube videos.

What do you do with Max?

I'd say doing the tutorials helps a lot, also with broadening your horizon with things you might want to look into. I did that first and had a bit of a head start when I took courses while studying and those had the same effect: Showing me things that I didn't know about but interested me immediately.

I didn't think granular synthesis would be so for me. And I didn't think it would make more sense for the sun to play that piece via a light sensor, instead of just me.

Edit: Mind you, that was over a decade ago. But by the looks of it the tutorials are still largely the same and I love recognizing those camp default video files.
