So, Pd-extended abruptly started behaving weirdly with my soundcard, which led me to test out PD-vanilla to see if I would have the same problems, and I discovered that I could get ridiculously low audio latency with Pd-vanilla, which is extremely good fortune because I often use Pd for processing a live guitar input.
BUT, I can't figure out how to get Pd-vanilla to load all those libraries from Pd-extended that I've become dependent on. I tried adding them to the search paths, with no luck. I tried using [declare] with full paths, with no luck. I tried adding the libraries under Preferences > Startup with no luck.
Is there something I need to know about the syntax for the Startup method?
Thanks,
JN
