    Auto Scale and Auto Move stop functioning

    by Circuit5 » Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:33 am

    I'm having a problem that Auto Move and Auto Scale stop responding to sound after a few minutes of running. I've got both activated on layers 1 and 2, along with a few sound and bpm routings (which keep working fine). I'm also using the (AT) Layer Sequencer 16 module to swap layers 3 and 4 and I'm triggering M8, CI, and FF filters over midi.

    I'm running on a 2.66ghz Macbook Pro w/8GB ram (brand new in september). The project and media is at 854x480, all in Photo Jpeg.

    Sometimes the Auto FX stop working first on layer 1 or 2, and then later on the other one. I haven't been able to figure out a specific cause, seems to just happen after a few minutes.

    Any help would be great, thanks.

    A very strange thing. I have never seen or read about this happening before.

    - Is the effect still 'active' when it shuts off or are all the controls on with an absence of no movement?

    - Can you try shutting off all the modules you are using to see if it persists?

    I shut down all modules I didn't really need and that made very little difference. However, I was running SoundFlower to route iTunes in so I could prep at home. Without Sound Flower it worked so the gig was fine.

    Is there a better audio-routing utility to use?

    Thanks.

    It seems that SoundFlower is dead parrot. And it is very sad it does not work with 10.6 properly.

    i use soundflower 16 channel and 2 channel regularly, for inputs to logic, for qlab, and for sound router in modul8; works fine every time.

    Yeah, mine stopped working too and I had to fix it. There was an issue with Soundflower and Snow Leopard. Get the latest version here:
    http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/list

    The other thing was that I made a mistake in the settings.
    My current settings are:
    Soundflower is set to "Built-in Output" in the top menu settings.

    In the Audio settings:
    Built in output for out data. It has the happy Mac icon
    Sound Flower (2ch) has the speaker and microphone icon.

    = Works. But don't forget to launch M8 after changing the settings (or are they working instantly now? Can't remember). Crank up sound input volume in M8 and start animating something.
