max/msp anyone who have experience?

I just got a demo version of max/msp, and hope to get the right version soon! I understand that it takes enormous time to get into that program, but I found all those tutorials on youtube, which was very helpful!

My first impression is, that you often work with abstractions as operations taken out of time so you mostly cannot figure out how it actually will sound, which I´m extremely fascinated with. I try though to imagine how things will sound as hard as I can, just being perfectionistic.

But I was wondering if you can also construct a soundwave by drawing it?

Norman MacLaren did something like that, drawing sound wave patterns, then adding them photographically as the sound track to some of his short films

Just googled him,  he died in 1987, so he has probably not been using max/msp.

Have been experimenting a bit with the program, but of cause I´m a beginner so I can only make sinus notes so far.

No experience. BTW you can also use Pure data, which is by the same Author... http://puredata.info/ http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/
