Whenever I load an mp3 (or m4a) into a buffer~ using import, it stops the audio of another buffer that is currently playing (with groove~/sig~). I can get audio playing again if I double-click on the EZDAC~, but there is a few second lag/delay. I'd like to be able to import into buffer2 while having buffer1 playing uninterrupted. Has anyone encountered this problem before? I'm on Mac OS X btw. Thanks!

No replies yet... Hopefully this simple patcher will help demonstrate my problem. If I import a file into buffer track0 and play it with groove, it works fine. Then when I import a file into track1, the audio stops and I have to restart the DAC to continue playing track0. Any suggestions?

I think the decompression is making things hang up. I haven't had good luck with mp3 and buffer~ in the past, the UI etc. would also freeze. I realize it's something of a pain, but convert them to wav or aiff and all your lag problems will go away...

not all of your lag problems will go away, it will still interrupt the processing of jitter graphics for example. One way to get around is, is to fill the buffer in a separate low priority java thread
