Music & Math Programming

Why do audio languages exist? Now i understand that it's most certainly because of the functions they'll have all being relative to audio programming.

BUT: wouldn't a maths language be better than an audio one?
The sound would surely just be multiple computations of sound wavelets, wouldn't it?

FORTRAN > CSound?
Haskell > FMOD ?

Wouldn't this be the case if you were to write a procedural audio engine?

User-friednliness of such languages.
Its like asking "Why autoRun exists when mounting volumes by hand is far superior and safer"

Why do audio languages exist?
To make art.

Wouldn't a maths language be better than an audio one?
We have replaced mathematicians by musicians.

if you were to write
You would end up with an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.

the audio language is proly written with a mathmatical language, i'm pretty sure CSound was developed to be like F77 & Assembly x86. So i guess it was written with them or others alike.

i see what you mean OP but it's basically like this: >>2

Yeah i understand about the ease of use.

But what about the writting of a procedural audio engine? there would be SO MUCH mathematical shit going down, do you see where i am comming from?

Try Common Music. Maybe scheme. aww fuck.

It doesn't harmonize.

I'm down for this.

talk to me about that then bub.

you could use a csound api and render/play onpoint, then there's no transposong needed.
