Hello everyone,

I'm new to PD and digital music in general and trying to do a simple convolution with two audio files and record the result using PD; however, I can't get any output. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you

Hi and welcome to this forum,

The problem with your patch is that you are simply opening the files in [readsf~] but not playing them. To play a file using this object, you can use a toggle or simply send to it the number 1 when you want to play and the number 0 when you want it to stop.

Alternatively, you can exchange the message [open $1( for [open $1, 1(, this way it will automatically play a file once you click in that bang above [symbol].

I hope this helps, take care,
Gilberto
