Hi Cory,

probably doesn't help, but I've gotten PD and Ableton working fine and stable for along time.

PD - various versions of 0.38 & 0.39 extended Ableton - 5.0.1 Jack - 0.100.1

Is it possible your Jack version is too old? I don't know what comes standard with JackOSX anymore. I manually compiled Jack at a certain point, so it's possible I have a newer version than comes with the standard App.

best, d.

hello list,

I apologize if this is too off topic, but I figured there would be many people in this same situation here that could help.

I'm trying to route audio from pd and ableton live via jack on mac os x 10.3.9. pd is 0.38.4-extended, ableton is 5.2, and jack is 0.74. interface is presonus firebox.

I get everything running ok, but still get pops and clicks. changing the buffer size, number of physical i/o, number of virtual i/o, closing background processes, all have no effect. both live and pd function normally without jack, so I know it has something to do with the interactions of the 3 programs.

any suggestions are very welcome.

thanks alot cory

What's the combined CPU usage of all three together? The RAM usage? Loading lots of samples in Live or PD?

I've noticed that running PD with Live has a high graphical overhead on OSX. PD's GUI isn't very optimized on OSX and Ableton is simply bloated. You might try changing the way you view your samples in Live...get rid of the waveform viewer, which uses a lot of graphics resources as well. I recall now that I had this problem early on with my set that used both, and that's how I dealt with it.

Last, my OSX has been 10.4 for a while now. Maybe JackOSX is better integrated with 10.4?

best, d.
