OM 6.13 audio trouble (on osx 10.8.5)

OpenMusic
#21

Fabio’s patches are great, but they actually open many audio files (more than necessary!): each time the sound object is loaded, copied, input in a matrix, etc.

However in principle OM opens the file and closes it immediately when the sound object is initialized, so that the limit is pretty hard to reach.

… ok I think I may have something.
can you try this updated build: https://forge.ircam.fr/p/OM/downloads/get/OM_6.13.zip

let me know.

Hi All,

First of all thank you All for support. And then sorry for the lot of generated files in my patches, I am not able at the moment to structure the patches in a less expensive way…

I have downlaoded Jean’s updated build and things run better:

  • I had 5 broken patches, now only the enclosed give a new error, the other ones run without errors
  • the error given by the enclosed patch is the following, in the listener, repeated for every intermediate generated file: “Error : trying to sequence 2 sounds with different number of channels or different sample-rate. Output is input 1.” So I think now something wrong happens in “Mix” subpatch.
  • the functioning patches, however, render a sound different from the original, with a different envelope and more noisy. I have tried to add a GEN7 correct envelope to OMChroma class, but the noise remain

Another thing I have observed, I don’t know how much pertinent: intermediate generated files, with their name and .aiff extension, often are not read by Audacity or Audiosculpt, and the only way to play them is by importing as raw data in Audacity. This both in successful patches and in broken one, to say.

Generally 6.13 version now runs better, speeder and with better detection of audio hardware.

For Jean: I appreciate very much your support, however I feel guilty for abusing of your time, if the problem was in my OsX. I can try some maintenance in my OsX for testing if something become better. Of course if you can resolve the problem I will be very happy and grateful…

Thanks again to everyone, I hope this observations can be useful also for your work.

Ciao

To Jérôme: the multiple requests of loading the audio file are very strange. Heve you these requests even if you block the sound object where you have the imported sound?

Fabio,

yes, you’re right I have imported a new sound and I didn’t block the object ! do you want I test it again ?

ciao

Fabio,

I’ve changed back to gliss.aiff and block the sound and I’ve also downloaded the OM version provided by Jean thanks to this topic.

I’ve a process really faster and it seems to work, I join you the listener, it seems to be all right !

good evening !

oops !

While playing the sound rendering, I have this bug window which is displaying again and again, so I had to force to quit OM

Dear Jérôme,

Thank you very much for testing. The listener seems to appear as it should be. Unfortunately I don’t understand the screenshot of the bug report, perhaps something linked to spatial coordinates, I hope Jean can understand it. Sometimes I have had similar problems and to force quit, but in OM 6.12, not, at least until now, on OM 6.13. I am going crazy for understanding what can be the problem…
Tomorrow I hope to have time to make a little maintenance on my system, if necessary, to test if something go better.
Thank you again for testing and help, ciao

Hi Fabio. I suspect a problem with OM-Chant output file formats.
Can you try this : https://forge.ircam.fr/p/OM/downloads/get/OM-Chant_2.3.zip

Also, (specially if you see messages related to the audio formats) you might need to remove and re-open the third, optional input (“format”) of the box SAVE-SOUND.

#31

Hi Jean,

Resolved! Thank you very much, everything runs without errors on OM 6.13, at least for the tests I have just done.
Only for completeness: on OM 6.12 in patches n. 19 and 20 I have to remove 3rd input in unique-pathname object inside filtro_formanti subpatch, inside sampler loop, otherwise there is a crash, with terminal that opens and I have to quit terminal and kill OM 6.12. Without this 3rd input everything runs without problems.
Instead in OM 6.13 I can maintain the 3rd input in unique-pathname object without having any error.

Thank you again, if you like fish and you will be ever in Livorno, you have a “Cacciucco” assured by me, with pleasure. It is a typical Livorno fish soup, very good (Marco Liuni can confirm it :-). The same for you all.

Ciao

Fabio

Hi there. FYI the updated/fixed OM 6.13 / OM-Chant 2.3 are now transferred to ForumNet.

#33

Hi Jean,

I have downloaded and substituted precedent ones, I confirm you that everything runs perfectly, thank you very much.

Ciao

Fabio
