Hi,
I always thought that in PD, "process" (i.e. dsp and control processing) had the priority over GUI rendering, in such a way that drawing the gui would NEVER cause audio clicks although this means there's no warranty about how much gui rendering may be delayed.
Do you know of any workarounds? Do you know if this is Windows-specific?
no, i don't know of any workarounds. no, this is not windows specific.
there are other issues as well, which cause drop outs, that might be avoidable:
- reading/saving files to/from disk
- dynamic object creation
- full buffer of [netsend]
(maybe there are some more)
all this issues cannot be 'worked around' within pd, which makes pd sometimes not very suitable for presenting/live situations. netpd suffers heavily from all the issues above (including the one you mentioned). i do believe, that some of them could be solved (e.g. for [netsend] it would be already enough to provide an additional outlet, that sends a bang, whenever its buffer is emptied). others might be not that easy to overcome. i think, it would be great and mean a big step for pd, if this issues could be addressed.
