Re: [PD] pd_film: intensive use crashes PD
hei, [pix_buffer] stores your images (or videos) in your memory. But as you mentioned, large videofiles will take maybe too much memory. You have too find a balance between the size of your videos, ableton and the memory. cheers mrz On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Daniel Almeida in...@yahoo.com wrote: pix_film works fine. I never had a problem with it before. I've done a VJ app that worked great. But I never used it for a very long time. Now I need something to be mixing video on the background for more than an hour and pd crashes after 5/10 minutes.In my previous script, it could run for longer than that, without a problem. that's why I'm thinking the constant and fast opening of files might be doing some harm (that's what's new in the current script). Using one pix_filme per movie is something I'm contemplating. The problem is this: I'm gonna be generating visuals for more than 8 tracks, each track with more than 5 clips per layer. I'm affraid this will take too much memory! I got 0.41.4-extended-rc4. The first time I runned it, GEM wasn't loaded but it looks now is ok. I thing some stuff was missing but now I'm unsure.

I'm coding the MIDI in Ableton Live and sending it through a MIDI loop on my soundcard. I have two video channels and each has it's on pix_film to show every video for it's layer. Everytime a midi key is pressed, a file is opened. This causes PD to crash after a few minutes. Does anyone has an idea how to go around this situation? I think the best solution would be to have an array of all videos used in each layer, opened at launch. This might not be the best way because I might get a lot of videos and run out of memory (let's not forget I'm running Live at the same time). Another solution could be to check if I'm pressing the same midi key so I won't have to load the video again. This might help me make the video loading less intensive. Any ideas on how to get this thing going?

Re: [PD] [ot][really ot] microphone amplifier
hello, thanks for all the replies! This won't work with the AK1, because the level of those electret-mics is to low. The mic-input in AK1 is working for other mics like dynamic mics or condensator mics. Or am i missing something? (I'm not really educated in microphonics.) Anyway, I found now my fast workaround: -(because the performance will be in less than 2 weeks, and I have to hack telephons and a lot of other stuff)- The cheap microphon goes into my mp3-player and will be amplified there in monitor mode and goes direct into the Audio Kontrol 1. thanks again- When I have the time I build this amp-circuit.. cheers moritz On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 3:25 AM, PSPunch sh...@pspunch.com wrote: Hi, I use an AK1 myself. It has two inputs channels, one with a mic preamp (and also 48V) built in it. For your cheap mic (mono I suppose?) it is likely that all you need is an adapter to convert it to the relevant size... 1/4inch or XLR. Pop it into input channel 1 and select the input source to MIC using the front button. If your stereo mic is one of those that are battery operated and has 1 output connector, it is likely you will need a connector to split the output to feed the two inputs in front of the AK1. And last, if your stereo mic is NOT battery operated, you will probably need at least one external mic preamp cause the AK1 has only one built in. If you can send me a photo of the mic including the connectors, I maybe able to forward you to the necessary adapters. hei, I have a question not directly related to PD.

Re: [PD] phase-canceling
yes,i find it also not an absurd question. I had build a loop machine, and i did want to phase cancel the sound is coming out of the speakers to be able recording and play again new stuff over that loop in realtime (overdubbing). But as far as i understand it is a really complex thing to do so as chuck allready mentioned. But someone build allready a kind of feedback canceller or is it simply not possible in the real world?

Tell us a little bit more about your application. I am out of the project game for now, but have some long term goals for solving this sort of problem. For example, you send a sound out your speakers. You want to recieve a new sound from the room on microphone that is not the sound coming from the speakers. This becomes a system identification problem. You need to find the delay between the speakers and microphone and the transfer function (a filter) between speakers and mic. Then, you digitally apply the filter and delay to your signals as they would be played and subtract that copy from the signal received by the mic.

Re: [PD] Windows low latency first-hand experiences?
hei i would recommend first to tune your vista for audio, here you go: http://www.focusrite.com/answerbase/article.php/?id=288 the rest maybe you know allready, but anyway, disable/deinstall all fancy vista crap you d'ont need. and then like pat said, open pd, open your taskmanager, right click on to the pd process and set it to highest priority. You have to do it everytime when you open pd, but there is a small app that can save your prio's. http://www.prnwatch.com/prio.html but in my opinion, pd still runs the best on linux, so i would recommend a dual boot station. greetings moritz On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 2:32 PM, patrick pured...@11h11.com wrote: i am not using windows, but i think roman found a solution (for better latency): each time you launch pd, go to the list of process and right click on pd: ***REALTIME* - highest possible priority pat ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
