Hello,

I'm relatively new to Csound, I've been learning more about Supercollider,
ChucK and PD over the past couple of years and am making my way through the
Csound tutorials (Floss mainly).

Problem is... CsoundQT keeps crashing on me!  It's been doing this for a
year, and is very annoying.  I tried updating to the latest build, and it is
still very unreliable.

It mainly crashes when I try to run a program (which may sometimes work,
other times cause a crash, with identical code and settings), or when I hit
stop and end a program.

I'm running it on OS X 10.9.2

I'm running CsoundQT Version 0.8.2, and I also tried the new  0.8.3

If there's any beginner mistake I am overlooking which may be causing these
crashes, I would appreciate any help!

Thanks!

hi -

my guess is that this has to do with the audio configuration. what did 
you choose in configure > run > rt audio? (perhaps you can send a screen 
shot of the whole tab.)

for analyzing the problem, it would of course be best if you had a csd 
which *always* crashes. perhaps you can find one.

best -

Thank you for the feedback friends.

I was running Ableton Live simultaneously, and listening to music via Cog. 
I closed Live and stopped playback in Cog, but CsoundQT still crashes on me,
sporadically...

Here's a screenshot of my current "Run" settings:

Please let me know if you think there is something I'm doing wrong!

You can also see my current, very simple patch in the screen shot, but it
seems to crash regardless of the patch, and sample rate I run at.  You can
also, incidentally, see the settings of my audio interface in the screen
shot.


Thanks!  Im' gonna keep trying until I figure this out... any more advice or
observations are very welcome!

hi -

stopping the other applications sounds like a good idea to see what's 
the problem.

in addition, please try this:
1) set your driver as default in osx system, and then choose "adc" 
(instead of "adc3" as input device and "dac" (instead of "dac4") as 
output device.
2) uncheck "use multicore" and see if this helps.
3) try Buffer Size (-b) 512 and HW Buffer Size (-B) 2048.
4) your Realtime MIDI options look suspicious. uncheck "Use Csound MIDI 
modules (unstable)". if possible, try if csoundqt runs ok without MIDI.

so, at least some ideas. please let us know if something helps.

I seem to remember that using the CoreAudio driver rather than the Portaudio one was more stable when using CsoundQt before. I would try using that one. As far as I know Portaudio is just an interface to the Coreaudio driver anyway so adding that layer of abstraction could cause some instability if there was some incompatibility happening with the Portaudio code.
