takev Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hello Tom, I don't think it is a RAM issue. Boom Recorder allocates and locks the memory for the ring buffer to be absolutely sure that it can not be swapped away because of memory pressure. It is weird that the flower doesn't appear in this case, I will have to make a new version for you so we can debug the problem.

tomholman Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks again Take. BTW, The playback from sound log via the Motu outs works well. The new tread in Current News (welcoming Marc) is very informative. It would be great to develop some form of basic time line (with running time code) in playback within the recorder program shell, but I'm sure that is not an easy thing to do. My friend JB ran some lengthy tests last night & had no problems: Real time DVD-RAM, G4, 6 tracks of 48K / 24B, 40 min takes, stop & start at end, no stop issues. Maybe I just did something wrong. He was running an earlier version of BR than my V7.19. Best, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takev Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hello Tom, I have been thinking about it, there may be some race condition that get more easily triggered by slow disks (i.e. DVD-RAM). I have to investigate. But I am working on my living room right now. Yesterday I bought a IKEA table and I chopped it up to fit better in my room and make it the height of a Japanese table (14 inches/35 cm).

takev Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yip, there are some race conditions, I will eliminate them in the next version, with a little bit of luck this problem will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takev Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hello everyone, I've just released Boom Recorder 7.20, this includes a fix for the problem of stopping a recording on slow media. I hope this will solve the problem Tom and Ron are experiencing when recording to DVD-RAM. It is difficult to explain the problem, but here is a link to a wikipedia article that explains what was happening: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_starvation Basically when the disk can not completely keep up with the ring buffer the state change is no longer checked. So I made the state machine simpler and let it always check a state change after writing a single chunk of audio data. Cheers, Take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I've just tested the DVDram burner from the 744T as an external drive for Boom Recorder. I format the disk using utilities on the computer and Boom Recorder seems to be able write to it until I wait between rolls for about 5 minutes. Then if I hit record on Boom Recorder the red buffer wheel on Boom Recorder goes all the way around and then the whole computer hangs. Wondering if anyone here has had a similar situation? The burner works great with the 744T On it's own, writing to an external FW drive, Boom Recorder has never failed. Many Thanks, Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Has anyone been able to simultaneously record without incident to both an external Firewire Drive and DVDram using Boom Recorder? Maybe I'm trying to do something which just isn't possible. Thanks, Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
