So tomorrow is the day. Any word from the devs as to whether max plays ok with Lion?

lions-lions-lions-oh-my

yes ... i'd upgrade to lion if I was told there are no issues with max

I've been running Lion for about a week now, and have found no problems w/ Max, fwiw.

I have just finished installing Lion on a Mac mini here and playing with Max and MFL.

Everything seems pretty much fine. MFL is working correctly so far, but please note that Ableton are currently recommending people NOT update.

http://www.ableton.com/news/osx-10-7-lion-compatibility-live-update-coming-soon

Our CP is working , including iLok.If you encounter any problems with your authorisation, please do not hesitate to get in touch with support.

Lion does not include Java by default. If you see a message asking you if you want to install the Java runtime, please do.

PLEASE NOTE: this is an entirely preliminary basic walk through., and is not meant at all to be the definitive answer to MaxMSP's Lion compatibility. Over the next few weeks we shall be doing extremely thorough testing of all of MaxMSP's feature set in Lion, and if there are any issues, these will be addressed in the forthcoming Max 5.1.9 incremental update.

I updated my post with new info. iLok is working fine for me.

What's the jitter performance like? I noticed a serious performance hit in Snow Leopard from Leopard (a noticeable few frames of latency in live video) so I'd be thrilled if Lion was at least back to the Leopard speed.

So I noticed a problem today after updating to Lion. Regardless of what input I use (internal mic, Apogee Jam) I get meter-peaking noise. It changes pitch as I change the vector size. I'm also including a link to a movie. Note that you are NOT hearing feedback. This is the audio that comes out of the patch due to corrupt audio input as far as I can tell. Can't seem to shake this no matter what I try (restarts, reconfiguration, etc.)

I don't have problems with audio here. Try deleting your preferences?

Thanks Andrew - Tried deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.cycling74.* but that didn't solve it. Other apps work so I don't think it's a global audio setting but I could be wrong. Is there an official un-install script so I can do a fresh re-install or is it just the Max folder? Thanks for any other advice.

~/Library/Preferences/Max5 Preferences Folder

trash the whole thing. Then download and install the latest version of Max-- it will replace your current install.

If that doesn't help, send in a note to support at cycling74 dot com

Thanks Dave - no go there as well...also deleted /Library/Preferences/Audio to no avail.

As I mentioned - other apps work - Live, Wave Editor, etc. when it comes to audio input.

Each time (in Max) when I change the input in DSP settings I get noise of a different pitch - classic random data writing to an audio buffer type stuff - just as in the movie posted above. any other thoughts? Will keep trying various things...

EDIT: Creating a new user and launching Max from there causes the same issue. Very strange.

EDIT: Fresh install also does not fix the problem.

I have an issue with suckah object it give me always 0. 0. 0. 1. with max 5.1.5

Yeah I can reproduce the problem with suckah on Lion.

Well this is a bummer - even re-installing Lion still causes it to occur. I'm not sure what to try next. I emailed support. Hopefully Andrew is not support since he's already here. :-)

Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks!

What hardware are you on, as in, what type of Mac is it?

MBP. 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7. 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3. Note that this worked yesterday before Lion - I use this functionality practically daily. Definitely something in the install messed things up. I just also reinstalled Soundflower, Xcode, Lion and MaxMSP itself. I'm sifting through the console.app and found this - not sure if it is significant or if it happens under non-Lion.

Another note - Process coreaudiod by user _coreaudiod is running @ 0% CPU with 3 threads. When I enable audio in MaxMSP and what is in my video starts to occur coreaudiod jumps up to ~9%-11% CPU with 5-9 threads. This is just with adc~ going into meter~ and nothing more. Removing meter~ makes little difference in these numbers.

One more thing - not sure if an issue - coreaudiod is Intel 64 bit but Max is simply listed as Intel (not 64 bit) - was coreaudiod 64 bit before Lion? Does that even matter?

We'll continue this conversation in support. Thanks for the information.

We can reproduce this issue and are now working on it in engineering.

Hint object

( see screenshots)
also   maxuino  does not work it all.

Thanks Andrew - I look fwd to hearing from them.
