I am a one-time user of Matt Ingalls MacSound, which I dearly loved.  
Alas, that computer and its OS9.x are dead, dead, dead and I'm now  
running Leopard on a MacBookPro. I am an educated amateur when it  
comes to Csound, anxious to return to it for its vast potential, but  
as one more tool in the audio box, not necessarily the central one.  
I'm eager to hear what setups work well for other users in similar  
situations. Recommendations? I'm not familiar with Blue, Qute or  
practically anything else. It's been a long time.

Some of you may recall me asking a similar question a year ago. My  
apologies. I was distracted from implementing your suggestions, but I  
did download the (then) latest Csound and had it working, however  
briefly. Whereever I stored the information that was sent to me then  
(possibly on the dead, dead, dead harddrive), it's now gone and  
probably obsolete anyway.

Yours,

hi carlton,

are you saying MacCsound isn't working for you on Leopard?

Honestly, I haven't tried it. The notes I remembered reading indicated  
it hadn't been updated. I will give it a try forthwith.

true - i haven't released an update for a long time :)

but i still use it frequently on my intel macbook.

QuteCsound looks great, but as far as i can tell it still has a ways to go and seems more sluggish.

It is more sluggish.

I don't know what magic you did in MacCsound, but it renders most  
efficiently. :)

> Do you mean it feels more sluggish to update meter values? I have set

well i have only taken a quick look (and the one recently was with the PPC version running on Intel, so this could be part of the problem)

but the overall GUI response seems sluggish.
also i cant seem to get a file i made in MacCsound to do anything

i said "has a ways to go" i was thinking more about supporting all of MacCsound features, especially the text widget:
+ used as a max-like value scroller
+ being able to double-click and change value/text
+ passing text via invalue/outvalue to orc
+ being able to drop files from the finder onto the text object to set a path 
(probably more but like i said it was just a quick look)

in MacCsound, i have the GUI run in the application thread and call Csoundlib from a separate thread.  when the "invalue/outvalue" callback is received from csoundlib, i pass the value to the widget and flag it for a refresh. widgets then redraw when the application thread sends an update event.
