Re: [chuck-users] Machine.add() and me.yield()

Hello Mike, Since Machine.add is hitting the file system and parsing and evaluating the ChucK scripts, it might work better to do all of that in one go when not generating sound Machine.add("thingOne.ck"); Machine.add("thingTwo.ck"); Machine.add("thingThree.ck"); Machine.add("thingFour.ck"); And then later call methods to initialize them serially or in different shreds, something like thingOne.start(); thingTwo.start(); thingThree.start(); thingFour.start(); spork ~ thingOne.start(); spork ~ thingTwo.start(); spork ~ thingThree.start(); spork ~ thingFour.start(); Hope this helps, michael

Greetings Chuckists,

Looking for validation on this before I change many, many lines of code: I'm noticing clicks and pops in running audio when I do something like this:

Machine.add("thingOne.ck"); Machine.add("thingTwo.ck"); Machine.add("thingThree.ck"); Machine.add("thingFour.ck");

and also with Machine.remove(idNum); four times in a row.

Question:

Is this:

Machine.add("thingOne.ck"); Machine.add("thingTwo.ck"); Machine.add("thingThree.ck"); Machine.add("thingFour.ck"); me.yield();

significantly different than this:

Machine.add("thingOne.ck"); me.yield(); Machine.add("thingTwo.ck"); me.yield(); Machine.add("thingThree.ck"); me.yield(); Machine.add("thingFour.ck"); me.yield();

???

The same for sporking shreds four in a row.

Warmly, Mike
