so, I actually did throw out my Csound book last night. Tore out all the pages and recycled them.
I never thought I’d ever say this, but I am officially done with Csound. I’ve been using Csound since I was 16 years old, but now I feel like throwing my copy of the Csound book in the trash. Good riddance.
