[delay] what are the rules / basic principles?
Hi all,
Using a [1ms] delay; how reasonable is that? What can i use it for?
Example, When using [sfrecord~] you have to;
1. set/create a filename to save to
2. set the record toggle ON
3. feed the signal you want to record
Now assuming i am automating all of that what are the reasonable delay values i should setup?
———–| > createFile/name >
-BANG-| > [delay 100?] > set toggle ON (record)
———–| > [delay 101?] > startloop (play)
I guess it matters on the machine processor? system load? what should be reasonable minimum values?
Also in this SFrecord example i am Normalizing a file and applying a negative gain right after.(using mxj buf.Op)
Is [1ms] delay between normalization and gain reduction sufficient?
Is it a matter of, aslong as the "normalize" message is received, and the "gain" message follows, both commands will be executed regardless of the processor hangup/system load?
Thanks!
Happy Easter!
Using deferlow is more appropriate in most of the cases you mention, I believe.
Hey I didn’t know about deferlow, sounds very handy!
I guess you can also check the trigger [t ] object and [pipe] for more flexibility.
errm … in most cases the right order of messages is all you need.
sending "write sound.aif, start" as two consecutive messages to sfplay~will it make write the file, and queue the start message internally until the file creation is finished.

Yes, the order of messages is so important, i had all forgotten about it. (still noobing)
Thanks for the [deferlow], cool object.
