Is there a limit to the amount of data a [coll] object can store?
I'm in the planning stages of a patch that stores large amounts of data on audio analysis of all my samples and don't want to get half way through figuring out how to implement it in max to find coll can only store a certain amount of data so does anyone know if there is any kind of limitations to this object?
My only advice would be to work in chunks, and separate your data up amongst as many [coll]s as possible. I've often experienced crashes when opening the text after having written >1000 indexes into a [coll].
There is a thread discussing wildly differing experiences of [coll]s capacity/limitations here: https://cycling74.com/forums/what-is-the-maximum-amount-of-data-you-can-put-into-coll Be nice to hear some sort of official word on this though.
