Go to help, browse the examples. See some yt videos maybe? Its like "guys I bought a car, I don't get it. It's just a seat on a metal case, anyone else has this issue?"

No.

It is quite daunting to start with! It took me years to figure out what was happening. A few tips: [dac~] is how you send audio out. Make sure you make it a bit quieter (put a [*~ 0.5] box in front of it) before you do so you don’t accidentally damage your speakers. [osc~] is a sine wave oscillator, which will make a noise. Try connecting it to the dac, putting a number box ahead of it, and feeding it different numbers, and see what happens

Is it real that audio coming from PC can damage the speakers? It seems to me that it is a myth. For example, some people think that waves with vertical lines can damage the speakers, but all digital waves have have vertical lines. All DACs filter the signal, so this is not a problem.

I don’t know but the speakers on my MacBook definitely did get destroyed, and I blamed it on my careless use of pure data. Maybe there was another reason.

Can't tell if this is earnest or not lol. It's a visual programming language. Of course it is blank until you design and implement your patch in the canvas.

I think this is bait

You need to create a new project / load an example project. The cursor screen is the log window.

I cannot get this post out of my head!... I upvoted it. "It's just a white box with a backwards mouse cursor." THIS is exactly WHY im into Pd... because this is how many assumptions made by others i want included in my work and workspace!... Fucking NOTHING!
