[CM] Snd and CLM

[Richard Liston]

Great - this helps, thanks! I think I'm over some of the major
initial hurdles. Now I just need to become more familiar with
Snd and the packages that are provided with it, and how different
pieces fit together. There are a number of questions that begin
to arise for me at this point that I'd like to answer. One example:

If I create two different sounds, A and B, each of which consists
of the same two sine waves mixed together, but the higher wave of
sound B is phase shifted slightly from that of A, will the difference
be perceptible?

Pretty basic stuff, but Snd seems like a good package for this kind
of investigation. If anyone has a pointer to some good reading in
this area I'd like to hear about it.
