Re: [chuck-users] Machine.add() (.yield) from mike clemow

Depending on how HUGE the SndBuf files are, I have often loaded all of the files sequentially at the beginning, before I make any sound at all, into a single SndBuf, not to play them, but to get them into the cache. Then when the time comes to truly load them, they can be zero-disk loads. If they’re too big, this won’t work of course because you’ll exhaust your cache. PRC

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
