Dear all

I've finally figured out what's been causing my audio I/o errors and audio blackouts in Pd. It's too much CPU usage. Therfore does anyone know of any tips regarding how to get CPU usage down to a minimum whilst using multiple abstractions on screen at once? I think [block~] and [switch~] may have something to do with it but I don't understand how they work tbh

@casper If you put a toggle on the inlet of [switch~] it will turn on dsp for just the window that it is "in"...... so you can stop audio processing for windows that you are not using at a particular time.

But it is best to fade signals before "blocking" to avoid clicks........ like this..........
