[how to] va-advanced buffer techniques
Dec 07 2011 | 2:44 am
hello everyone.. hope you are all having a great night programming in MaxMSP: given a list like the following, in which I have pointers to a buffer stored with the help of a snapshot~ object and a zl stream 2, to a buffer~/record~, how do I create like messages to record the files from the buffer pointers into a wav or aiff name by giving it a name like sampname_$1_$2, in which the $1 and $2 symbols would be iterated points in a one bi-dimensional vector, considering $1 as a number that already exists in a analysis system that comes from 0 to 127, and $2 as an iterated point in a list of 10 values for an instance. also, how do I iterate and save the list 2nd list (127 values ranging from 1 to 10) with the patch? and also how to rewrite files after the first iteration cycle (imagine it as [127][10])?
if possible, I would prefer not to do this with mxj~. also, how to instantly load the mentioned files into a polybuffer~, immediately after recording them. thanks in advance tiago

Very necessary and not that intuitive at first, and many questions about it crop up.
- Dec 07 2011 | 4:27 amI know this thing of sprintf, and I actually do very complex stuff with lists, thanks, you didn't get the quesiton

- Dec 07 2011 | 4:52 amin relation to the list thing, it's here, solved, so now I just need to know how to record the selected portion of the buffer into the audiofile thru the described method and to immediately load the file into a polybuffer~ also I need to get a way of overwriting the files after an iteration cycle (1-10).. thanks
- Dec 07 2011 | 5:41 amI kept elaborating my solution to the list solution and right now i've got this.. it's just that I am stuck in some point of the data flow and I am not being able to debug this.. so it's not iterating, and I am not being able of making a prepend store of a list to the coll index.. help is appreciated, aswell relation to he issue previously described of "in relation to the list thing, it's here, solved, so now I just need to know how to record the selected portion of the buffer into the audiofile thru the described method and to immediately load the file into a polybuffer~ also I need to get a way of overwriting the files after an iteration cycle (1-10).. thanks"
