Radio Felis- Pros
- No matter what they say, basic high school knowledge is more than enough to get you started. And if you`re studying Maths or Physics, with this software you can out-trance Tiesto in no time. Basically, it provides a script language which consists of the basic expressions connected with sound (sin, cos, exponent etc.) plus a few "shortcuts" and extra logical functions which allow you to arrange your sound on a time scale - these are explained in the Help docs. You can greatly improve your sound by adding harmonics and modulation, and - after direct export to WAV - use another program to match to the tempo of your favourite sampler. Of course, this would take a lot of time if you wanted to script every sample from scratch; but with wise use of variables, you can automate most tasks and create new sounds by merely re-defining values. This product can create really magnificient background layers and string-like instruments, as well as strange sound effects; the possibilities are limited only by your imagination and knowledge.
- Cons
- Despite what the docs state, the time variable *is* measured in seconds; if you feel different, this is because the time counter is forward compared to the actual sound due to hardware capabilities (but it`ll be all right in the exported WAV). There`s no "save as" command, so you need to be careful not to save over your old file accidentally. The main window is a bit too small, which makes it more convenient to write script in Notepad and copy&paste. Perhaps, this program is not for you if you`re a hardcore humanist.

pretty good
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- I didn't find this product bad at all... it generated some good sounds but its not the easyest thing to use because its all text
smashing
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- it's brilliant to generate tones via textual input rather than the usual knobs and sliders. the right-click option box in the text input field comes quite handy, and you can render up to 44kHz. Nice choice.

- Summary
- ETG is simple, and it's this simplicity that makes it successful. Csound has been around for some time now, and while it is genuis material, lacks the warmth and comfort GUI provides. A basic understanding of digital sound processing is required for this program. Sound is just a bunch of superimposed sine waves any how. Understand that, and creativity is unlimited.
