Hi,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to route audio through pd using Jack on my Mac OSX (Snow Leopard). I start JackPilot, and then I start pd-extended from command line with the flags -jack and -channels 16. Then I open up the patch and then I open up Spotify and iTunes. The patch is supposed to switch between Spotify and iTunes play back depending on which input adc~ I choose and accordingly give me control over the output levels using the sliders in the patch (the patch is a virtual mixer). I have a few questions:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. When starting pd with jack and 16 channels, does this mean that all 16 channels have to go in and out of Jack itself?</div><div>2. Do the number of input and output channels have to be the same (8 and 8 in this case) or can they be different? When I tried starting pd with 18 channels and then assigned 16 to Jack incoming and 2 to built-in output for outgoing, terminal threw an error saying 'invalid number of channels'</div>
<div>3. I want to have 8 channels from one adc~ and another 8 from the other. This means all 16 channels are meant for input. How then do I route output from pd to the speakers?</div><div>4. If I am only inputting 16 channels through Jack can I use the dac~ object to output sound from pd to the speakers?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am quite confused here being a novice in pd and need to get some results very very quickly. I have used this patch before to route sound and it worked fine. I don't know why it's not doing that before. I enable audio in the Media window and selected jack instead of portaudio, still no sound or terminal errors :'( .</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any help would be awesome!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Rishabh</div><div><br></div>
