Help with Standalone Applications
Jan 16 2011 | 3:45 am
Hey everyone,
This is my first post so ::ahem:: "Hello, World!"
Now that that's out of the way, I was wondering if you fine gentlemen and women could help me out with an issue I'm having with building standalone applications on a mac.
I'm trying to make it so that users will be able to specify which audio drivers they can use for inputs and outputs in my application, and yet I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I tried using the standalone object and it doesn't seem to do any good. I also don't know javascript so I don't know any sort of code that would allow the program to search for available audio drivers and create a menu with available inputs and outputs for it.
Can anyone please help me out?? Thanks so much
- Jan 16 2011 | 7:31 amHi Travis,Welcome!You need to add the equivalent of the Max DSP Status window to your application. Fortunately, that window is also a Max patch, so you can open it and study it to see which elements you need build in for your app. In my Standalones, I have a menu item that opens this window, and I tailor it for the particular needs of the app.Good luck!

- Jan 16 2011 | 5:40 pmI normally add an object called "DSP Status" (with the quotation marks) which makes sure the DSP patch is added to the stand alone. Then I add the dac~ object at presentation level for the user to double click on or just send an 'open' message to so they can open the settings window.
