Hi,
So I have a patch running four different instances of synthesisers, have a score done via qlists etc and everything works as it should.
However, a big problem has arisen when trying to write everything to disc. At present each synth has it's own [dac~] and attached to each one are right and left channel delays - done using [delwrite~] and [vd~].
But I'm trying to use [writesf~] to render the whole thing and I can't find a way of connecting all of the outputs to it whilst still keeping each part's separate delays (they all need to go straight to a single file).
Is there a way of recording the entire output of the patch to a wav? Or any other means of achieving this using solely pd?

Thanks
Skatalite

Get rid of the individual [dac~]s and replace them with two [throw~]s, one for left and one for right. Then [catch~] them to a single [dac~]. You can then easily tap the [catch~]s for [writesf~] as well.

i used to do this a lot, and found it was worthwhile to make my own [diydac~] abstraction containing a normal [dac~] plus the pair of [throw~]'s. That way, when i got a good patch going, i just had to add 'diy' to the start of any [dac~] modules instead of making individual throw~ objects for every one.

It also used a bit less screen space than the double [throw~] objects used.
