Hi, I'm interested in trying Blue. I've been using Csound with WinXound Pro, which means that I haven't had to use command line flags. I've worked through the Blue Tutorial in the manual however I can't seem to get Blue to render the tutorial's output. I've set the command line to "C:\Program Files\Csound\winsound.exe" If I add "-W" and try rendering the file everything seems to work, however I can't find where the file is actually being saved. I'm not 100% sure that the file is being rendered however it appears that it is. Q1. How do I render the sco/orc to a file? I'd also like to be able to send Blue's output directly to the soundcard. I've tried various flags: "-devaudio", "dac0", etc. however none seem to work. Q2. How do I render directly to the soundcard? Any help with this would be very much appreciated. Cheers, Chris |

For blue, blue will create a temp CSD file in the directory that your .blue project file is before running csound, so if you run csound from blue and SFDIR is not set, the generated wave file should have been created in the same directory as your .blue project file. > Q1.

So, in the example above, since a filename was given, it will render to file. For soundcard, try either of the following: C:\Program Files\Csound\winsound.exe -W -d -o dac C:\Program Files\Csound\winsound.exe -W -d -o devaudio using the "dac" or "devaudio" will signal to csound that rendering should be done to the soundcard. (*I haven't used winsound in years and do not know if winsound accepts commandline flags such as those given; if so, then the above should work for you) Hope that helps! steven |

Hi, Thanks, that's fixed the problems I was having. Now I can start having a look at how Blue works!
