streaming audio
by Ben Carney 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

hello all. I am working on an installation which may use live streaming audio. I have at one point got streamin~ and streamout~ working nicely together. I was however under very nice conditions. each computer was a g5 tower running tiger and the latest install of pd extended. I have since tried it a couple of other times and had a lot of trouble. Pd would just freeze up the moment I tried to connect to the machine that wanted to listen. I am wondering if perhaps there is a problem when using streamin/out~ with a wireless network? can anyone offer any tips of suggestions on some other streaming objects/alternatives? thanks much in advance. -- Ben C.

pd extended development
by marius schebella 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

Hi, is it true, that only hans is working on the pd-extended releases? are there other maintainers? I got the impression in the past that pd-extended is very useful (and I personally use it a lot), but development for it is also very cryptical and almost hidden like a secret. and often things are implemented that seem to be good ideas, but do not really work (like the whole path/import stuff). maybe hans, if you could provide more information and documentation about pd-extended and how the whole integration of libraries works then more people would be able to help you and development would be more consistent. what is the direction that you want to go? for me pd-extended is the attempt to create a pd distribution that includes as many as possible external libraries in addition to pd vanilla. I love most of the things in pd-ext, although there is still a lot of work that needs to be done... marius.

sending applescript events
by Andrew Turley 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

Has anyone done any work getting Pd to send applescript events? I know I can use [shell] and osascript, but then I incur the cost of starting a new program. I've been playing around with appscript in Python, but I haven't had much luck getting the Python extension to Pd working, so that's out for now. So has anyone tried anything else? andy

audacity and PD problems with Jack
by altern 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

hi I am using Audacity to record output of PD via Jack on Ubuntu Studio. I am also having supercollider sending audio to PD. Audacity is causing some discontinuities in the audio and the recording has gaps every 5-10 secs. I tried recording with supercollider and i did not get this problem. Could anyone suggest some basic sound recorder that works with jack? I just need to record the jack output, no need for multitrack or editing, just be able to select the sound format, frequency and amplitude maybe. There are some I saw searching with synaptics but I thought maybe someone here has some suggestion. thanks enrike

gem-users list ?
by Jamie Bullock 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hi, Does anyone (except me) think it would be a good idea to start a Gem-users list? An increasing amount of the discussion on pd-list seems to be Gem-specific. I use, and enjoy Gem, so this isn't any kind of anti-Gem thing, I just think it would be convenient from an email filtering POV if there was a list just for Gem that wasn't a 'dev' list. Just my 2p, Jamie -- www.postlude.co.uk

by nick burge 18 Apr '08

Hello List, does anyone know how to resolve the name conflict between the scale object in maxlib and Gem? I want to open the maxlib object , but the Gem object opens instead. (I want to make use of both libraries simultaneously). thanks, Nick Burge.
