Re: [sc-users] HardwareBufferSize & Aggregate Device

SC isn't the only victim
I've been beta testing Propellerheads' new Record tool, which only allows use of the built-in mac audio input through the creation of an aggregate device. However, ever since I set it up that way it's screwed up playback performance in MaxMSP unless I toggle it back to built-in output. It's as if it's piggybacking onto another device and screwing them both up in the process..

Hello list,

The following is annoying me for a while now:

When I change the hardwarebuffersize to something like this:

Server.local.options.hardwareBufferSize_(64);

Server.internal.options.hardwareBufferSize_(64);

And listen to the input:

s.boot;

{SoundIn.ar}.play

The signal is distorted.

When I make an aggregate device with the built-in input and output and do:

Server.local.options.device_("SC");

Server.internal.options.device_("SC");

Server.local.options.hardwareBufferSize_(64);

Server.internal.options.hardwareBufferSize_(64);

There is no problem. 

I read that you don't need an aggregate device anymore on intel computers. But I have this problem on all the intel osx computers I try it on. PowerPC is fine. 

I'm using the latest svn version.

Do you guys have this problem too?
