General Board / SoundShaper Port to Mac--I Am Begging!
« on: June 15, 2014, 09:14:52 PM »
I understand the difficulties involved, and I recognize the limited market, but please, Mr. Fraser, reconsider porting SoundShaper to the Macintosh platform.

With all due respect to Trevor Wishart, I dislike SoundLoom very much. My mind and his simply do not work the same way, whereas SoundShaper is so very much more intuitive for me. When I was using SoundShaper with my otherwise-despised Windows machine in the early 2000s, I could effortlessly create wonderful sounds, Now that I am committed to the Mac platform, however, I must struggle with SoundLoom if I want to use CDP, and, while it is better than nothing, it is not better by much, from my perspective. I just can't work easily with it, and am therefore deprived of CDP as a result (I do not write code or run command lines).

I cannot speak for other Macintosh users,, but I, for one, would be happy to pay double or even triple the price for a SoundShaper for Mac. Please (re-)consider it. Thank you.

Mac installation / Problem Adding the CDP Path
« on: March 01, 2014, 09:19:38 PM »
OK, taking a deep breath and trying to control temper!

After following the results to the letter in step 1 of the Macintosh manual installation instructions, "Adding the CDP Path", here is my unsuccessful result and the Terminal results that I get when I try testing it ("xxx" is the substitute for my name):

As you can see, the test fails. Is this also related to why Sound Loom will not remember my directories, or anything else about my previous sessions?

Again, whatever help administrators or more experienced users/programmers can offer will be most appreciated. If I should contact someone privately for support, then let me know that, as well. Thank you.

With all due respect, this part of the Macintosh instructions is not clear--at least, not to this non-programmer.

I created the requested text file and saved it to my home directory. I then launched the Terminal, entered the required command, and got the following message:

user-1087qbr:~ xxx$ sudo cp launchd.conf /etc
cp: launchd.conf: No such file or directory

I have no idea what I am doing wrong here. Please advise. Thank you.
