I like to see people code. :) do it! I disagree with "..and watching someone type code is slightly less interesting". I like to see people code. :) do it!

I had to beat my head against a wall forever to work out some of this stuff. For some reason the notes sent from ableton were read as 2 octaves lower by QC, even when I messed with the octaves (this is 10.5). Or maybe it was the other way around. Hmm...obviously I haven't looked into it for a while, mostly because of lingering trauma. It's great to have stuff like this out there---too bad, Apple, you gotta get with it on the documentation front. thanks so much!

Just learning QC... I found it a bit strange, Apple created this amazing tool and then left the users in the darkness. I'm still struggling with basic things. Agree, hence the vid.

Apple should care about documenting it aswell as they document Logic, for an instance, or as cycling 74 documents Max, which I actually think to be one of the best examples out there in terms of commercial software documentation (and which is one of the biggest advantages of max in relation to pure data, although it's always relative - we are talking about different kinds of communities). I haven't tried QC for osx.6 but in osx.5 things were not very pretty at this point there should definetely exist more documentation on quartz composer.. when we sometimes see simples patches made with kineme 3d and another libraries that generate astonishing visual stuff, we start to think that it is really a very powerful and easy to use tool, there should be more documentation I guess.
