[Lmuse-developer] automation issues

[Robert J. <spa...@gm...>]

Hi Tim,

Seems there are some issues with automation in the latest and greatest. Both
for audio and midi.

For midi, please see my response to Dan's question on the user list.

For audio I'll try to explain.
Simplest way to provoke it is to create one wave track. import a wave file,
select Touch, set the volume level at pos 0. Forward a bit, set another
volume, forward some more and set a third volume.
Now save the file and reload it.
This time around it seems one of two things happen.
Either the first automation point is skipped or the first point is the only
one that seems correct.

Oh, that's right there's a third issue I found. If I use the slider menu to
go to the "next event" and the next event is long way away (or possibly just
the last event) it happens often that muse is kicked by jack (atleast when
jack has small buffers). Is the search for the automation point somehow
performed in the audio thread?

I'm having some issues with crackling also but I'm blaming my hardware for
that. I've had these problems on and off for a long time and finally ordered
some new hardware (upgrade time anyway) to try to eliminate it.

If I get some time I'll try to look at these issues myself but it will
probably not happen in the short run.

Regards,
Robert
