[PD] Basic question about Mac Os X
After 13 years working with Linux i have now to deal with a Mac (for instance an iMac running 10.4.11 and pd 0.39-extended) and all seems new the basic question then... while i wait for a USB card (btw any recommendation is very welcome) i was trying making some test with PD patches but when i connect and use the line-in built-in in the machine i have troubles getting any recognizable sound to the dac~. It looks like the problem is with the adc~ since osc~ to dac~ produce the sound i would expect to hear. I put to zero the built in microphone (is there any way to mute it completely??), and played with line in levels but nothing acceptable is coming out. Just to clarify, the problem seems related directly with PD, because other applications that use line in they reproduce the sound at a decent quality. Any hint would be greatly appreciated...Sorry for downgrading the level of the discussion on this list... :-) Thank you, ciao, marco trevisani ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] Basic question about Mac Os X
Hmm, are people having trouble finding the audio and midi settings hidden away in prefernces on Apples? Maybe I should move it back where it belongs under media, or else include it both places. (I doubt that's Marco's problem, but I always have trouble finding it myself :) M On Wed, Jan 23, 2008 at 05:26:10PM +0100, Jack wrote: I think it's in : ApplicationsUtilitiesAudio and Midi config ++ Jack Le 23 janv. 08 ? 16:21, marco trevisani a ?crit : After 13 years working with Linux i have now to deal with a Mac (for instance an iMac running 10.4.11 and pd 0.39-extended) and all seems new the basic question then... while i wait for a USB card (btw any recommendation is very welcome) i was trying making some test with PD patches but when i connect and use the line-in built-in in the machine i have troubles getting any recognizable sound to the dac~.

Re: [PD] Basic question about Mac Os X
Is this on an Intel iMac? If so, you may just need to set up an Aggregate device in Audio MIDI Setup. btw no such thing as downgrading the level of discussion:) cheers dafydd On Jan 23, 2008 11:35 AM, Miller Puckette [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmm, are people having trouble finding the audio and midi settings hidden away in prefernces on Apples?

Re: [PD] Basic question about Mac Os X
Any regular Mac user will look in the Pd-Prefernces for the preferences, so you'll have people complaining about that. I knew it always drove me nuts, first I'd go to the normal prefs location, then remember, oh yeah, it's in the media menu. You can't please all the people all the time... .hc On Jan 23, 2008, at 11:35 AM, Miller Puckette wrote: Hmm, are people having trouble finding the audio and midi settings hidden away in prefernces on Apples?

Re: [PD] Basic question about Mac Os X
Yeah. Both places, then. I use that menu item more often than any other (not including accelerators) so I don't think it would be too much of a bloater. cheers M On Wed, Jan 23, 2008 at 04:16:14PM -0500, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: Any regular Mac user will look in the Pd-Prefernces for the preferences, so you'll have people complaining about that.
