Hello! completely new to this pd thing. dont even know how to start in the program. i came in contact with it because i study at an art school and want to make a very specific interactive sound sculpture. i need to program it to do things by itself.
i want to be able to control the recording and playback of sound so that it runs by itself.
how would i start doing this? i dont even get how to get started within the program. what should i do to begin with?

i may not know a lot about programming but i know exactly the effect i want.
very thankful for all the help i can get.
