default max-voices and max-streams
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 3:45 am
Hi,
For complicated reasons I can't compile linuxsampler with source.
(it can't find libgig but it's there and my PKG_CONFIG_PATH is correct)
Someone needs I start to compose very quickly for his film, so I don't have time to spend 3 days and nights to understand the problem.
That's why I'm just able to use the deb packages.
It's precompiled and there's only one version:
a binary with default values --enable-max-voices=64 and --enable-max-streams=90 !
Honestly, it's even not enough to play a simple piano gig library !
If you use the pedal to play a very simple cue, it's up to 64 in 3 or 4 seconds only !
Imagine if you need to run a whole orchestra...
Personally, I run LinuxSampler on a very big PC and need probably more than 500 voices of polyphony to be sure no sample will be cut.
So my question is :
1) why choosing a so small limit by default ?
is it so heavy to specify a max of 640 voices if you use only 64 ?
2) could you plan to do a "large" version of the binaries, as a deb package ?
It could be really useful for those who don't have time to compile if an error occurred.
By the way, MANY THANKS to everyone for making this program for Linux, and so, giving to free people another choice than using so bad softs on mac or windows.
PS: "Network cluster support" -> OMG ! what a wonderful idea ! I can't imagine the powerful workstation we could make with 15 or 20 computers ! just an amazing orchestra running 20 different solos violins instead of 1 ensemble bank ...
This feature could make the difference between win/mac and the Linux choice. Just enough to persuade misinformed people to come to Linux.
Sure, most people won't use it, but the most famous ones will. Here is a good opportunity to make known LS and Linux.
