Emi - last ever log (hopefully)

Quiet day at work so I brought my laptop... Since Max has completely given up ((crashes whenever having to save)) I'll go back to the prototype patch and work from there. There is no other choice since it crashes whenever we save the patch, even on the uni's more powerful computers (in mixing 2) with the 3x4 core PCI-e processors - obviously Max MSP doesn't like museums.

Anyway, I'll be working from the patch that was made on the 4th - meaning that this and last weeks work was for nothing. Since I remember what changes I made since then it'll be easy (easier) to re-edit.

A big problem I’m having is that when taking out a subpatch from the main folder, to edit the main patch (because it’s less likely to crash when it loads the project without subpatches), is that the <bpatcher> doesn’t remember how many inlets/outlets the <bpatcher> has.

For example: I’m having to take out subpatch X to edit Main patch Y, then the <bpatcher> in Y looses the in/outlet -connections because it’s not actively linked to a subpatch and I have to relink them all over again.

This is especially problematic with the Quiz Subpatch because it has some 15 screens.

CRASHING CRASHING AND MORE CRASHING!

We're now in the final stages of putting our patch together, all thats left is to add information and pool all the patches into one, but at every turn max crashes and any work we have done is lost. Even saving max causes it to crash. Working on parts outside the patch is no use as when we combine them or add the parts in, max crashes........
We've tried using several different computers and setups but the problem persists.

Emi - MaxMSP crashing...

MaxMSP keeps crashing and taking a very long time to load - especially on the nano micro mini Mac computer. It's becoming a real chore re-re-re-re-repeating all the edits.

Edit: Took me 40min to edit the size of three pop-up windows. While waiting for an edit to happen I'd go on a different computer stress testing the patch on the Mac Mini - when operating the patch, it works fine, but the problem is when editing.

Max keeps crashing whenever saving a patch (even in Overdrive mode, on the multi-CPU computer in the Mixing 2 -room)

Worked on a patch that plays different sections of the George Brown interview depending on which picture you press, could maybe be used as a small extra

I'm currently in the process of refining a few parts of the patch's overall image including backgrounds and text etc. However, Max itself keeps crashing as the patch is getting huge. This is starting to really slow the whole process down as i have to keep saving my work after every step which often cause it to crash. When i load the patch back up i then have to redo all of the work i have just lost.

BUT WE FIGHT ON!!!!

Sunday 9th November

Recorded again today, managed to get all the parts including female vocal. Would prefer to have more than one but I am struggling to find others. Also started the modern day background of Scarborough beach including cars and arcades
