- TheOtherHobbes 4y agoMax has graphics support and is much used by artists and people making arty minimalist (interactive) media. TD has more of a game-ish aesthetic. Max/Jitter is better for chopping up and distorting video streams and grunge-ifying them, with some simple renders and FX on top. As a music system - it's in a weird place, because it's incredibly awkward if you're used to even the most rudimentary coding. A construct that takes a minute or two in Python can take five or ten times longer in Max. But it has some decent DSP features, including custom DSP coding, so it's a good way to get certain things done. Or at least prototyped.
- ofalkaed 4y agoPureData and Max are primarily about synthesis and composition not multimedia, they are just capable of doing video as well. Both are still relevant. Different markets.
- immmmmm 4y agoimho, it's quite relevant when integrated with Ableton Live https://www.ableton.com/fr/live/max-for-live/ https://www.ableton.com/fr/live/max-for-live/
- enqk 4y agopeople using touchdesigner often work with other tools, such as Max/MSP / Max4Live so I don't think it's really an either or thing
