hi, a more general question about internal network communication:
which method would you say is the "best" way to communicate between PD and other applications like MAX, GEM, VVVV in terms of speed and reliability ?
i'm asking for a huge project that should be able to send/receive time-critical messages (for video-synching) AND also big lists of filenames etc. across applications.
maybe it's better to use [OSC] for the latter and [netsend] for single floats (f.e. to send a time-synch message) ?
is it better to open more than one port (or is it a socket ?) for this purpose or will that make things worse ?
should i use vanilla's [netsend] or are there other externals better suited for this task ?
what are your experiences in this regard ?
thanks a lot !
