He did it. well, no magic coding there - it's just a matter of throwing memory at the problem. :) though to be honest I'm not even 100% happy with that solution, as it's still to some extent at the mercy of the operating system paging memory. maybe if someone out there is lucky enough to have a machine with a couple GB of RAM in, they could try it out with an hour long loop and let me know how it goes on that system. what I'd like to aim for with Augustus Loop is a disk-based solution, which would a) remove the limitation of an hour (or so) for the loop length b) make it much easier to move towards an infinite overdub/undo system. however that's a significant step beyond the current frontiers of my expertise, so don't hold your breath :) cheers, os. os@collective.co.uk http://www.collective.co.uk/
