I'm using QuteCsound-f 0.6.1 in MacOS 10.6.8, with Csound 5.17. Intermittently, QuteCsound quits when a real-time output render finishes. It doesn't happen every time, but it has happened about 4 times out of 15 tries in the past half-hour. Should I be using a more stable version? Suggestions welcome. --Jim Aikin -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/QuteCsound-0-6-1-quitting-in-Mac-10-6-8-tp5706377.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Same thing happens using CsoundQt-d 0.7.0 alpha 6. It has quit twice out of six real-time renders of a very short (less than 10 seconds) .csd.

Same thing happens using QuteCsound 0.6.1 and Csound 5.16.2. Intermittently, QuteCsound quits after finishing the real-time render. And I don't think it's anything in the .csd, because it has happened with more than one .csd. --JA -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/QuteCsound-0-6-1-quitting-in-Mac-10-6-8-tp5706377p5706565.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

I've seen this happen and I am wondering about it. I am suspecting the portaudio rt audio module. Could you do some tests just rendering to file to see if it keeps happening? I have changed here to using the rtauhal module (-+rtaudio=auhal) and it appears to have stopped this behaviour.

With that flag added to the "additional command line flags" field in the Configure box (but with portaudio still selected in the drop-down for RT Audio Module), I have had only one unexpected termination in about 50 playbacks. I'm juggling around with 5.16 and 5.17 and with CsQt 0.6.1 and 0.7-a6, so I can't tell you which combination was running when the termination occurred. One in 50 is acceptable (except for live performance, of course). If it happens again, I'll provide more thorough data about which versions I'm using. -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/QuteCsound-0-6-1-quitting-in-Mac-10-6-8-tp5706377p5707495.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

No, it just did it twice more in quick succession. Possibly I'm not understanding your suggested fix.

Jim, the only issue with that pa_bl is that it might not allow very low latency. If you need that, you can try -+rtaudio=auhal which should give you no breaks at all (I never had one).

Try unchecking "use QuteCsound options" to make sure -+rtaudio=pa_bl is actually been used. Victor On 12 May 2012, at 20:00, Jim Aikin wrote: > No, it just did it twice more in quick succession.

Instead, the CsoundQt Run button records the output to a disk file, exactly as if I had used the Render button. Can you tell me how to use the command-line option shown above and still get real-time audio output?

Hello, similar thing happesn in CsoundQt in Linux with jack audio driver. Not a solution but workaround that saves you to restart CsQt all the time is to add f0 7200 ; or similar to your csd and alsways stop the csd from stop button of csoundqt. tarmo On Friday 11 May 2012 20:31:20 Jim Aikin wrote: > I'm using QuteCsound-f 0.6.1 in MacOS 10.6.8, with Csound 5.17. > Intermittently, QuteCsound quits when a real-time output render finishes.

Jim, you also need the option -o dac for realtime audio ouput and -i adc for realtime audio input.

The combination of adding pa_bl in the extra command line flags and switching to auhal as the real-time audio device seems to have solved the problem. ~100 runs, no unexpected quits.

Dear Jim and Victor, I have been following your thread, and I'm hopeful I can also make these setting changes to be able to run 0.6.1 and/or 0.7 alpha. However, I can't quite follow all the changes, as your dialog is strung out over a few emails. Could you please summarize the changes a user could make to stop all the crashes? I'm using csoundQT 0.6.1 and 0.7 alpha, OSX10.5.8, csound 5.14. BTW, 0.6.0 does not crash.

I made two changes, both in the Run tab of the Configuration box. (1) I checked the checkbox by "additional command line flags" and added -+rtaudio=pa_bl. (2) in the Realtime Play area, I chose auhal in the dropdown as the RT Audio Module. I don't know what auhal is. I don't remember ever noticing it before, but it may have been there all along. Or not. I'm using Csound 5.17, and I'm on OS 10.6.8, using CsoundQt 0.7.0 alpha 6. So your mileage may vary. Also, I'm not using real-time input at the moment, so I have no idea what the latency is.

rtauhal is the new OSX RT IO module that substitutes the old rtcoreaudio that was there. In fact, coreaudio now also means auhal (it is the same module). Latency with rtauhal can go down to -b 32, sometimes -b 16 (< 1ms round trip). Victor ps.: we hope to get the portaudio module fixed, I just have not got down to it yet.

Jim, Thanks for boiling that down for me. I made the command line change you listed. On my configuration, OSX 10.5.8, although "auhal" was available in the popup menu for RT audio module, I got an error when trying to run a csd. I changed it to "portaudio" and my csd ran as expected. I then tried to quit out of csoundQT 0.7 alpha and it didn't crash! This is very encouraging, the first time I didn't have to force-quit. I'll run more tests later when I have more time. best, Lou On May 14, 2012, at 11:58 AM, Jim Aikin wrote: >> Could you please summarize the changes a user could make to stop all >> the crashes?
