![]() ![]() What seemed to crash AM was changing its Audio Device settings, which I only did because no audio was being passed through from WTA. Ambrosia Software has released WireTap Anywhere, an advanced audio tool billed as a virtual patch box. I don't think I changed the WTA setup whilst AudioMulch was running. (And I have absolutely no idea about how to program such a thing.) What would be ideal is an AU Generator that streams live audio from a URL, but I haven't found anything that would do that. I've posted on the Ambrosia website about that. On further investigation of the WTA help file, I discovered that it also comes in an AU Generator flavour, so I tried that out today, but as far as i can tell, it doesn't support multiple instances (i.e., five instances "mapped" to five different audio sources all seem to pass the aggregate audio feed). The audio feeds I've found so far work quite nicely together, but I want to split up the signals so I can process them separately. I'm tyring to stream live audio from undersea observatories, various natural live radio sources, and if I can find them, from radio telescopes, to process through AM for aleatoric compositions. I know Soundflower doesn't work for this purpose, and I doubt Jack does. Right now, I'm only demoing WireTap (just as well!), so if there's another way to do this, I'd be glad to know. MacBook Unibody 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB RAM, OS X 10.6.8 (Actually, I think it was crashing before I tried that, too, but I didn't save the earlier log files.) I can send the log files for those crashes. I managed to get this routing working with Reaper by selecting full duplexing for Reaper in the WireTap preferences, but that just seems to make AM crash. This happens both with a preconfigured patch and with patching on the fly. Then I had to leave it for a while. Now I get the error message: "A problem was encountered while activating an audio device: Internal PortAudio error (PortAudio error -9986"), and the audio won't activate in AM. (I don't remember what the error was, but it could have been the same as below.) This happened a couple of times, as I was reconfiguring WireTap. AM sees the virtual device as an audio driver, and maps the channels to SoundIn/AuxIn, and I think when I first tried it out, although an error window showed in AM, the audio was passed through. I created a virtual device in WireTap with 5 sources and 10 channels of output. Once youve got it at your disposal, you wont want to go anywhere without it. I'm experimenting with WireTap Anywhere to see if I can stream live audio from various URLs to separate SoundIn/AuxIns in AM. As soon as you stomp on it, the WireTap begins recording your riffs in. ![]()
