Hi everyone,

back in 2010 "PD123" posted a patch to load large audio files (see title). You can find the file easily by searching for the patch name.
This patch first resizes the array to 1 in order to clear it. Then it resizes it again but to 1h at 44100 samples/s. Once finished it reads the file and feeds it in soundfiler. Afterwards the array is cropped to the actual length of the audiofile (soundfiler output).

The patch seems to work well the first time, but whenever I try to run it for a second time, PD crashes during the "pre-sizing".

Any clue how I may avoid that?

Thank you

PD: I'm running PD extended 0.43.4 on W7.

Hi again,

I have been playing around some more. When I resize (the big one) to "only" 30 minutes at 44100 samples/s. Everything seems to run fine even after several times. I have not tried larger numbers, since this is fine for me.

Cheers,

Gaspar

PD: Anyway I'm still wondering why with one hour resizing it works the first time, and at the second one it crashes. Maybe it is some RAM assignment issue. However with almost anything else running and 8Gb RAM this should not be a big deal.
