Re: Hardisc recording/playing

So 1) have you the same poor performance with PD disc i/o objects ? 2) Is it specific to pd linux ?

No, quite difficult to get good results unter WinNT too. (And Win98, of course.)

3. Do i set something not as it should ?
4. Is it because of no special optmisation in pd for disc i/o ?
5. how much tracks can you play on which hardware ?

On WinNT (PII 400MHz, 64MB RAM, S/P-Dif-Interface, SCSI HDs) I can hardly play 4 mono files without any pops (it would work when only playing files, the soon I start to do anything else with pd - especially gem ! - the result is horrible). I know, there are many people complaining about Win in general, but other software (Cubase VST, Samplitude...) does the job... so, same problem as on linux

6. Does The patchs for the linux kernel solves the problem, some facts ?

Thx for any help,

Linium
