Pretty easy exercise. There was basically a player (for which I was initially intending to use play~ but ended up using groove~) and a recorder. Obviously enough, there was a necessity to utilise buffer~ in both, reading from and writing to it.
Aside these three elements, the object "waveform~" played a significant role in my patches. I did not find the whole "story" behind this object necessarily interesting; however, paying attention to the mindset of a "typical" user (i.e. commercialised enough to be impressed by the interface more than the usage of any given device) I think it is a really "fancy" object. In general, having some sort of visual element help a lot to "sell" the product; some marketing things anyway...PS: Listen to Shulman. For a while please forget about Max/MSP and have some good chillout music in your ears please...

I don't understand. Why is it obvious that you would need to use buffer~? Isn't the point of this exercise to use audio straight from a disc or harddrive and not from RAM? Or have I missed the point, which is quite possible??? lol.
