Reso Kiknadze

i am really disappointed and nervous everytime i start playback of sfplay with a toggle. tipping it or passing a corresponding key (no difference) the playback starts but now and then stops after just a few miliseconds.

i cann not find a reason for it. the sounfiles normally choose with the folder object.

did anyone ever experienc this and has somebody a tip for me to get rid of this unsafe situation? it's really sceary in the concert when playing back a soundfile that does not have a couple sec of sinlence in the beginning...

can you post a very simple stripped down patch that shows what you are talking about?

no problems after screwing up the buffer size,
looking forward to the next gig...

just as a late follow up: diskbuffersize is a magic thing.

i recently had huge problems playing back 11-channel files in max 5.1.4 even with a diskbuffer size of 262080.

the same patch would play 10-ch and 12 ch. files just fine.

in the end we just added a silent 12th ch to the 11 ch-files. worked like a charm
