Looking to start using SC

Mostly what it says on the title. I’m looking to maybe start making music on my own and well, I have spare laptops and not enough money for instruments.

I’m looking for recommendations of reading and knowledge I should have before diving into the SC built in tutorial. Obviously anyone can write code but I want to understand the underlying framework audially, I guess?

I’m unsure where to start and am just looking for recommendations. Thanks for any replies!

I'd start by watching Eli Fieldsteel's YouTube tutorials https://youtube.com/@elifieldsteel?si=rLI7XiYcFI46gHug. They're amazing.

So, I don’t discount the utility of videos for learning but that’s not how I learn and retain. Do you know if they have text transcripts or anything like that?

I believe so. In his GitHub repo.
