I've had the same problem. Version 3.47 doesn't seem to like any GEN
statements with even number sized tables, ie:

f1  0  1024  10 = Crash.

However:

f1  0  1025  10 = Works OK!

Maybe you are having the same problem?

Hi,

I'm using the windows version of csound that now supports realtime audio
input. I have two microphones set up in the room, is it possible to have
csound process the sound such that when its played back on headphones it
sounds 3D?

Also, another question.. have you ever noticed that when you record your
voice and play it back it tends to sound very different. I have a couple
theories for why this is, but perhaps someone else can explain. Could
csound filter similarly so that the resulting output is the way you hear
it as you speak?

Because DMix is not a sound synthesis language. It is a scoring/composition
system.

i dont know about how to filter the voice.  but i can tell you why it sounds
like this.  it is because the vibration of your voice takes place in your
body and head.  the interior of your ears are picking up two versions of
your voice - the way it sounds on the exterior and the way it sounds on the
interior.  i think the effect of the sound of the interior voice is called
bone conduction because the vibrations are conducted to your ears by bones
and tissue.

sorry, forgot to answer first question.
if the mics are set up the way the ears are then the resulting combined
signal will sound very 3d.  you just need two variables, the angle between
the mics and ( i dont know a good value for this ( perhaps around 90
degrees))  the distance between the mic heads.  i think around 8 or 9 inches
is good.  ( 17.6 cm - 19.8 cm  for you internationals out there).
try different locations near or far from your source the get different
levels of natural reverb.  closer gives more source, less reverb.  further
away gives more reverb mixed with the source sound.

i have a stereo dat mic that gives the best stereo response ive ever heard.
it is an audio-technica at822 stereo mic for those interested.

Isn't hrtfer meant for placing one signal in the (virtual head) space? 
You wouldn't need two mikes for that. Also I *think* it's too demanding 
to allow real-time processing on a normal home computer.

But recording a good stereo image will often be as realistic as you 
need, and it doesn't have to be hard to do if you have reasonable mikes.

This effect has two main reasons. 
First, the voice reverberates the whole head. Compare when you put a tuning 
fork to your head, or speak holding your hands over your ears: Sound travels 
very well through the bones. 
Second, the higher frequencies are filtered out from one's own voice. 
High-pitched sound cannot bend around the head so well, so the lower
frequencies dominate in your own voice. 
A similar effect is also present for the skull reverberations (I imagine): 
The high-pitched noisy material in the voice form in the mouth, while the 
low and mid-freq's are much stronger, being the base material which is 
generated in the throat. 

Don't know a fixed recipy for simulating these effects in a recorded sound, 
but try playing around with normal filters.

i just downloaded the current verion on our ftp site
(ftp://mills.edu/ccm/csound.ppc/
	files:	perf3.47(beta3).hqx
		CSound_FrontEnd_0.3.2.sit)


and had noproblems such as you describe.


i would suggest to try getting those files.
if you still have problems please post the orc/sco to this list (or
directly to us @ csound-dev@mills.edu) so we can fix the problem.

2 older versions of perf exist in perf.ppc.fix.hqx and
csound.ppc.sea.hqx(which is the entire package)

sorry for the confusion on the ftp site.  we still have a few more
'confirmed' bugs to deal with this week and some documentation updates,
once thats done there will be a clean ftp package available.
