I'm in the process of writing a patcher to trim the silences off of the beginning of files. I'm feeding folders with 100+ sounds into Max, then:

- Go through all samples, check if a sample exceeds volume threshold, then crop the file

However, I'm running into a bug. Under certain circumstances, the saving to disk and loading a new file are trying to execute simultaneously, and the buffer fails to load. I've added a delay of 50 ms which seems to work so far, but I don't like to handle it this way since it could still cause errors.

Long story short: is there any way to wait for a buffer~ to save a file, before executing a different part of my patch?

- Load first file into a buffer
- Go through all samples, check if a sample exceeds volume threshold, then crop the file
- Save the file
- Load next one into buffer

Thanks :)


Hi all,

Buffer does bang when write operation is completed,

"Bang when File Read Operation Completed"

A simple gate would be enough to route the bang

Buffer does bang when write operation is completed,
even if popup description states :
"Bang when File Read Operation Completed"
So pass that bang through defer, and 
go on loading next sample.
A simple gate would be enough to route the bang
to needed function.


Oh great, never tested that. Problem solved. Thanks a lot!
