alex-EUfalktx: seems to have loaded ok.00:02
alex-EUfalktx: when the last bridge loaded, i got some garbage at the end. anything crucial? http://pastebin.com/e3niSzMg00:03
falktxnah, just wine messing up the prints00:04
falktxhappens regularly to me00:04
alex-EUfalktx: ok.00:04
alex-EUfalktx: looks ok so far. http://imgur.com/YsvXkkQ00:06
LAbotTitle: snapshot3.png - Imgur (at imgur.com)00:06
alex-EUfalktx: only problem with this is i get no sound through the carla-patchbay internal plugin i added. I assume this is the wrong one?00:09
falktxI have to see it00:10
alex-EUfalktx: As you can see, i'm trying to route all the kontakt instances through it, and save the connections.00:10
falktxyou need to connect the inside and outside00:10
falktxyes00:10
alex-EUfalktx: have a look at the pic i posted.00:10
falktxbut are the contents of carla-patchbay plugin?00:11
alex-EUfalktx: it's all connected, yes?00:11
falktx*what are00:11
alex-EUfalktx: aah, ok.00:11
alex-EUfalktx: it's empty. :)00:11
falktxwell, there's your problem00:11
alex-EUfalktx: so i need some sort of bridge?00:12
falktxthe carla-patchbay plugin has no connections by default00:12
alex-EUfalktx: right.00:12
falktxno, just open it and do connections there00:12
falktxits inputs need to connect to outputs00:12
alex-EUfalktx: ok, i'll try that.00:12
falktxeither add some fx in there or direct connect inputs->outputs00:12
alex-EUfalktx: works directly, thanks.00:13
falktx:)00:13
alex-EUfalktx: ok, i'll open los, connect, and give it a workout.00:14
* falktx crosses fingers00:14
alex-EUfalktx: ach, i need to change a few midi assignments. Gimme a little while.00:16
*** spectromas has quit IRC00:23
alex-EUfalktx: ok, all the instruments are working, i've made a few adjustments, and saved again a couple of times, with no problems that i can see.00:27
alex-EUfalktx: progress. :)00:27
falktxgreat :)00:28
falktxalex-EU: how long does it take to load a project?00:29
falktx2 minutes?00:29
alex-EUfalktx: more like 5.00:29
falktxI'm not sure if I could take it...00:30
alex-EUfalktx: And i just hit errors recording a small section, then stopping los. The same ringbuffer not enough space errors. But, loading and saving are ok, and that's what we were testing.00:30
falktxalex-EU: is that the normal time? or things are slower in wine vs real windows?00:30
alex-EUfalktx: it's slower in wine i think. Don't forget, there's a lot to be loaded. Reaper does this much quicker, and still takes a minute +00:31
alex-EUfalktx: i'll time it tomorrow.00:31
alex-EUfalktx: http://pastebin.com/wZHBB5sp00:32
falktxthis one is pretty serious:00:33
falktxCarla assertion failure: "data != nullptr" in file ../../utils/LinkedList.hpp, line 37400:33
alex-EUfalktx: the idea is i'll load this carla template first thing in the day, go get a cup of tea, and when it's ready, sit and work. There's little need for me to be swapping projects all the time.00:33
alex-EUfalktx: yep, i noticed that too.00:33
alex-EUfalktx: but i have no idea what it means. :)00:34
falktxit means the list got corrupted00:34
falktxmemory errors00:34
falktxI need to full log to know what went wrong00:35
alex-EUfalktx: ok.00:35
falktxthe issue is the constant spamming of tryWrite/Read00:35
falktxmakes that difficult00:35
alex-EUfalktx: yep.00:36
alex-EUfalktx: start/stop transport and the ringbuffer error messages start seriously breeding.00:36
falktxah, then some borked midi message then00:37
alex-EUfalktx: this works though. even with those messages, the instruments are still playing.00:37
falktxrecord the initial 5 secs of midi from los if possible00:37
falktxmidi data00:37
alex-EUfalktx: hmm, ok.00:37
falktxor a dump00:38
falktxjack_midi_dump should work00:38
alex-EUfalktx: i'll try.00:38
alex-EUfalktx: something like this? http://pastebin.com/grfSQgbe00:42
falktxalex-EU: was that from transport being stopped (start tool) then transport started?00:43
alex-EUfalktx: yes00:44
falktxalex-EU: we'll continue this tomorrow00:45
falktxI'll convert that data into a midi file and play it back to carla to see if I can trigger the same issues00:46
alex-EUfalktx: ok, sounds good.00:46
alex-EUfalktx: thanks for your work and efforts. Good progress, imho00:46
alex-EUfalktx: i'm closer than i was. :)00:47

falktxgood news, the disk has arrived12:56
blendrix@falktx disk? (I just joined the room a few minutes ago, so I'm totally lost)12:57
falktxmy laptop disk is failing12:57
falktxI got an error every time I boot it up12:57
falktxnow I have a brand-new replacement for it12:58
falktxtime to backup a few things12:59
blendrixAhh, that's a very good thing to do13:01
blendrixSo, would you be the one I should ask a total n00b question about Carla?13:01
falktxI'm the author, so shoot away13:05
blendrixawesome! first of all, KILLER APP, m813:05
blendrixok, so I'm wondering if it's possible to use Carla to run Windows VSTs on my Mac. I see that it's possible with Linux, but Mac is so closely related to Linux through its BSD heritage, I figured it ought to be basically the same when imitating/emulating Windows, yeah?13:06
falktxin theory yes13:06
falktxfirst I need to get things working, and since I use linux 99% of the time it will work on linux initially13:07
falktxit should be possible to get the wine-bridges working on mac, for now I just didn't bother13:07
blendrixIf you need a beta tester, I'm totally game. I know a fair amount about the *nix underpinnings of OSX and am not afraid to get my hands dirty under the hood, so to speak13:09
falktxdo you know of a working semaphore implementation?13:09
blendrixI install most of my software via homebrew & cask on the command line13:09
falktxosx lacks sem_timed_wait, I used a workaround but it's not pretty13:09
blendrixsemaphore… doesn't ring any bells13:09
blendrixI don't really think anyone could expect any software designed to bridge audio plugins between operating systems to be "pretty"13:11
falktxit's not used just for wine stuff. regular plugins bridges need it to13:11
falktx*too13:11
falktxlike using 32bit plugins on 64bit carla13:11
blendrixI've learned to rejoice when stuff like this achieves mere "functional" status13:11
falktxwhich osx version do you have?13:13
blendrixMav13:13
falktxyou have git+clang installed, right?13:13
blendrixYeah, those are prereq's for homebrew13:13
falktxalso gcc13:13
falktxsome opensource stuff needs gcc13:14
blendrixyeah, I have the whole xcode package13:14
falktxone thing you can do right now is build the deps13:14
falktxclone the carla repo, and run ./data/macos/build-deps.sh13:14
blendrixon it...13:14
falktxI build stuff on 10.6 so I don't know if others work or not13:15
blendrixhappy to be the guinea pig13:16
blendrixbuilding…13:18
*** alex-EU has joined #kxstudio13:19
falktxalex-EU: no fixes for the midi data you sent me yet13:22
alex-EUfalktx: afternoon, no problem.13:23
falktxmy disk arrived just now, I'll be installing stuff today13:23
falktxbut I'll try to do the midi testing if I can13:23
alex-EUfalktx: ok13:23
alex-EUfalktx: i continued working into the early hours. When carla is running with the big project loaded, it works fihen i close carla the bridge sometimes crashes. But while i'm working, it's stable so far.13:24
falktxblendrix: there's no point build stuff after the deps (if they even build that is). some of the changes I made recently probably broke osx stuff13:25
blendrixI just got an error something to the effect of "unable to find utility docsetutil"13:27
blendrixoh… looks like I hadn't installed xcode on this machine yet.13:30
blendrixtaking care of that now13:30

alex-EUfalktx: Things got much better when i enabled the control messages checkbox in each plugin instance. Dohhhh......:)19:02
alex-EUfalktx: Learning Carla is hard work! :)19:02
alex-EUfalktx: I've been getting a few of these errors, but it doesn't seem to crash anything, or affect playback:            Carla assertion failure: "data != nullptr" in file ../../utils/LinkedList.hpp, line 37419:04
alex-EUJackWinter: While testing this, i've discovered a couple of things. I start Carla with "WINE_RT=70 WINE_SVR_RT=75 carla" , and load all my K plugins. I then open Reaper, do all the porting (using my added midi ports, woohoo) and only use midi tracks. Reaper performs much better, the UI is snappier etc, i guess becasue it's not lugging all those plugins along. Maybe something for you to think about19:08
alex-EUJackWinter: I also start reaper with the CLi you recommended (using WINE_RT=75 WINE_SVR_RT=79, and the chrt options). Seems to work nicely at those priorities.19:09
alex-EUJackWinter: I still get the occasional x-run, but only on playback start/stop.19:10
alex-EUfalktx: A question. If i load plugins from different prefixes, will these still count as separate processes in terms of ram use?19:11
falktxevery plugin runs in its own process19:11
alex-EUJackWinter: in case you missed them. http://i.imgur.com/8RlMiDd.png19:11
falktxwell, the bridged ones do19:12
alex-EUfalktx: so theroetically i could end up using more of my ram, than if it was just one prefix?19:12
falktxthe prefix doesn't matter19:12
*** LanDi has joined #kxstudio19:12
alex-EUfalktx: Each process can access as much ram as wine sees?19:12
alex-EUfalktx: Given the limitations we've discovered about wine/ram/crap19:13
alex-EUJackWinter: Here's the other one. http://i.imgur.com/pWbHGaD.png19:13
falktxyes, in 64bit the limit is waaay too high19:14
alex-EUfalktx: ?19:14
falktxeach process can use up to 2TB ram afaik19:14
falktxthe limitation is on wine19:15
alex-EUfalktx: ok, cool, i'll test that this evening up to what carla will allow (remembering the osc problems)19:15
alex-EUfalktx: I'm enjoying myself here using this. All credit to you.19:24
JackWinterfalktx: i don't think it's a limitation per se, rather a bug.  but alex seems unwilling to submit a proper bug report so it will probably go unsolved for many years :)19:25
falktxonly a few minor things left to fix19:25
JackWinteralex-EU: hmm, i'll have to read that several times, but i don't think i've told you to use WINE_RT=75 WINE_SVR_RT=7919:25
alex-EUJackWinter: No you didn't, but you did suggest using those option in the first place. I went experimenting after that.19:26
JackWinteralex-EU: the reaper playback/stop xruns are inherent in the design of reaper, i think there is an option that makes it go away, but that makes it run crappier19:27
alex-EUJackWinter: As for the bug report, i'm reluctant to go cap in hand to wine devs who seemed obsessed with entitlement. I have no wish to feed their sense of immortality. :)19:27
alex-EUJackWinter: xruns don't affect the actual audio output, so it's not an issue.19:28
*** lfzawacki has quit IRC19:28
JackWinteralex-EU: ah, empirical results are always good.  i'll still have to meditate on your setup though...:)  what priority do you have jack set to?  don't forget that the jack audio callback will run at that -519:28
alex-EUJackWinter: Jack is 8919:28
alex-EUJackWinter: I used to run it lower than that, but experimenting seemed to favour a higher setting.19:29
JackWinteralex-EU: imo that's stupid.  report the bug, the worst they can do is ignore it...  but if you don't post more details than it's broken and when given some suggestions don't reply, it's really no way it's gonna be fixed.19:30
alex-EUJackWinter: I'm probably subjecting jack to more throughput (torture) than most19:30
JackWinteralex-EU: you know that the absolute priority makes no difference at all, only the relative priority of threads, right?19:31
alex-EUJackWinter: It's likely they will ignore, based on the general response or lack of it in the forum. Default response seems to be: "Do this in a pristine whiter than snow 32 bit prefix, and we may or may not respond."19:31
alex-EUJackWinter: Yes, i learned that a little while ago.19:31
alex-EUJackWinter: I'm using 64bit, not 32bit, and it's a ram problem. The least they can do is actually install wine64bit. :)19:32
JackWinteralex-EU: well it's your bug, but i think you know what i'm saying, so lets not discuss it more.  i'll probably taunt you regularly about it though :)19:32
alex-EUJackWinter: And i'll probably respond in kind. :)19:33
JackWinteralex-EU: i'm sure they have several machines running 64bit, just unlikely that many of the devs have 64gb ram in a machine19:33
alex-EUJackWinter: that may or may not be true, but i'll take your word for it.19:34
JackWinterthe first screenshot is impressive!19:34
alex-EUJackWinter: It's not bad at all, i must admit.19:34
alex-EUJackWinter: Once the osc stuff is gone, i'll see how much more i can load.19:35
JackWinterwell consider the fact that you can run reaper64 in wine64 including plugins, they must have put some work into getting 64b support working :)  i speculate that no one has tried to allocate that much ram in wine before though19:35
alex-EUJackWinter: You may be right. But if a company can make a shilling or two hacking wine into shape, the modest purchase of a bit of ram to test the limit seems like a lack of common sense.19:37
alex-EUJackWinter: Or a lack of interest.19:37
*** LanDi has quit IRC19:39
alex-EUJackWinter: What's the easiest way to test the ram limit in Wine? Fill up user/temp with large files, or something like that?19:40
falktxI can create an exe for that I think19:40
falktxallocate lots of memory and fill it with random data19:41
alex-EUfalktx: if you could, i'll post in in the winehq forum, and see if they respond. If that's ok with you.19:41
JackWinteralex-EU: conjecture :)  you really don't know that.  imo you shouldn't dish them until you've made a proper bugreport, followed it up, and finally gotten ignored.  i'm actually very surprised having known you for several years and knowing the work you have put into linux and bugs and getting your system up and running.  but it's a dead horse so let's leave it by the road (for now :)19:41
JackWinteralex-EU: i don't know, i suppose that would depend on what the bug is.  my suggestion to fill up /dev/shm was to test if it was a system limit and not a wine problem.19:42
alex-EUJackWinter:  If Falk can help me out here, i'll give them some more info, an .exe to test with, and another trace from the crash.19:43
JackWinterfalktx: an exe with an argument of how many bytes to allocate would probably do the trick very well.  only thing is that i think that there are several functions for allocating ram in windows19:43
alex-EUJackWinter: If they tell me to install a pristine 32 bit prefix, and test that, will you at least accept they're not exactly meeting us halfway?19:44
alex-EU:)19:44
JackWinteralex-EU: that would be a really moronic response to someone saying that they have problem allocating more than 32gb or ram in wine64, but the world is full of morons :)19:45
alex-EUJackWinter: my point exactly. :)19:45
JackWinterin fact my immediate boss belongs to that group :)19:45
alex-EUJackWinter: Let's see what happens. :)19:45
JackWinteralex-EU: i'm happy i managed to goad you.   bugs ought to be reported, but i know that i'm guilty too of not expending the effort and sometimes hoping that someone else will do it, so that at some future date the problem will magically go away :)19:46
alex-EUJackWinter: hehe. :)19:47

alex-EUJackWinter: And i'll take this moment to mention once again the superb Igor Engraver, which STILL runs in wine, even after all these years. :)20:14
alex-EUfalktx: A question. It seems by default that when a new plugin instance is added, control messages is unchecked. Is there a reason for this, and can i change something somewhere to have it on by default?20:15
falktxthe reason is that carla should be the one mapping midi-cc to parameters20:16
