Hi Guiliarr
I would just like to check that your install is working.

Please,in a Terminal window enter 'sndinfo' (no quotes)
& see what you get.
It should give you -
'CDP release 7.1.2016'. and the usage of sndinfo.

If that is ok I wonder if your original problematic sound file has spaces in the name?

Note: We have been testing & building all the CDP software on Mac silicon for the past year or so. There may well be bugs somewhere however....

Please feel free to keep me updated.

Hi Simon,
thanks for you reply. Yes when I installed it I typed the command prompt xattr - rc cdpr8 in the Terminal, with the correct spaces. I did it also now but nothing happens. Does it mean that there is some problem with the installation process and cdp isn't correctly installed ? It's weird because I carefully followed the instructions. Could it depend from my Mac Silicon processor (mac M2) ?

Hi,
It is not quite clear from your question if you can run CDP processes from the command prompt outside Supercollider
Have you run the command detailed in the CDP Installation Notes?

'Run Terminal (it starts in your home directory) and at the command prompt,
type (followed by pressing Enter; note the spaces):
xattr -rc cdpr8
(The -r flag signifies "recursive" - it will visit every file and folder inside cdpr8, releasing, so to speak, all executable files and apps from Quarantine.)'

Hello, I am using the CDP command-line functions in SuperCollider. I am used to work with that since few years on my previous Mac Intel, but now I just installed it on my new MacOS (cdp8). Soundloom seems to work correctly and also the command line functions are recognised when I evaluate them in SuperCollider. However, whatever sound file I try to process, it gives me an error saying: INVALID DATA, "Can't open file/...". Even though I am using sound files that were perfectly working with cdp7 (wav mono files, 48000 sample rate, 24bit).
Could this be related to the installing process ? Or any other ideas ?
Thank you.

I remember older versions of soundshaper that had a cross synth command. Is it possible to add it in ss version 6? where can I found it?

Any updates on this?

Hi Zander
Welcome to the CDP

Soundloom doesn't permit files with spaces in the name.

Hello!

I am a completely new CDP user and I am not particularly well versed with the ins and outs of computer software/coding/architecture. I'm using Soundloom on a MAC, trying to process an audio clip "falling stars_1.wav". I've put it in a folder on my desktop, then copied it to the workspace, and chosen the file. But when I click on process, the above error message pops up.

What have I done wrong?
Mil gracias!

I'm... decently familiar with WINE on macOS, in the sense that I've been able to get SoundShaper running and running into this same problem, haha. But I'm glad to wait a few more days for a stable version - just very excited is all!

Empiricus,
Unless you are familiar with WINE on MacOS, it could be worth waiting a few more days while we establish robust installation instructions, which also use a newer package.
