No luck with M4L or Pluggo
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2009 5:13 pm
I've been having issues with Ms. Pinky for a while now. Here's my setup/signal path:
macbook pro OS 10.5.7, 4GB ram
Technics M3D -> ArtDeejay Pro pre-amp -> M-audio Profire 2626 mixer channel 5 -> Live audio track with either M4L patch or pluggo loaded.
So I get the signal coming in atleast 50-75% strength into the live track. When I play the signal through (with the devices turned off, the signal is loud and clear) I can't get anything at all happening out of the M4L patch (the waveform object won't even show the sample when I drag it on top. The name shows up alright but no representation of the waveform). I can get a sound loaded into the Pluggo, and sometimes I actually hear sound. But the little black dot on the record always wigs out completely when I have it in absolute mode, and when I take that off, I am able to control the audio with the vinyl, but even with forward and backward movements make the track will only play in the forward direction. I don't know how to upload them here to the forum, but I have a couple screen shots of the pluggo vinyl/cd control tab (basically the error metric seems frozen at -1.00, and the vinyl position always jitters in the same range no matter where I have the needle on the record). What should I do? I have dragged all three folders (max externals, msp externals and patches-OSX) into their appropriate folders in the Cycling 74 folder.
One other thing I have also noticed is that when I try to open the help file for uiwaveform it is non-existent. Did I install everything right?
Thanks,
G
