When I was preparing for my show a couple of months ago I used to let my PD patches run for days without quitting PD. This way i knew there would be no surprises in a nearly 2 hours show. Indeed, it's a great feeling when you know you can rely on your software.
./MiS
In the whole development process, PD didn't crash either itself or my system a single time. I found it completely reliable to use
and was
fully confident with the environment when shunting sounds all over the place in real time during the concert
