Hello everybody!

I am working on a quite complex step sequencer that triggers both sounds and visual effects. Since I want my live sessions to be available for further editing I am used to record the audio with [writesf~].

Sequencing the audio works fine at first, but right when the video kicks in, it kind of slows down bringing along some little crackling noises. Here is the weird thing: even if the live session is distorted and slowed down, the audio file I record is perfect.

This confuses me a lot. How can it record data to file in such a perfect shape when the live audio is so currupted? It doesn't seem to be related to cpu usage, am I missing something?

the writesf~ object is slowing down at exactly the same rate as your patch is. when your patch stops and glitches, writesf~ also stops. so, when you open the file, the stopped audio has not been recorded, and so it is smooth.

probably not the sort of feature you'd want to rely on, but kind of handy.
