I agree with Nic here. I come from a programming background but when I
started using ChucK I has little to no knowledge of audio synthesis,
so while I could extract a lot of knowledge about the language from
the manual and browsing the example code (which is great by the way) I
really don't feel that I'm using all of ChucK's potential to create
interesting audio pieces, mostly beeps and noises and stuff like that.

That's a huge subject and whole volumes could (and have!) been written even on small parts of it. One good place to get ideas is this series;

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/allsynthsecrets.htm�(early parts are on the bottom of the page).

This is mostly about creating sounds with traditional synths, but it is abstracted far enough to be useful anywhere. I think the main reason why that series has such a good�reputation�is that it's very accessible (no higher math or physics needed) yet doesn't�sacrifice�depth. The diagrams are nice and clear too.

Yours,

Kas.
