Live_audio with quadcapture issue

Support, Help & Resources
1

Hi,

i just try to get live_audio working. I send midi note to a hardware synth. Then connect the synth output to the input of my audio interface (quadcapture) … and when using these lines of code :

live_audio :volca, amp: 10

live_loop :volca_trigger do
  midi (octs :e2, 1).tick, sustain: 4, port: "quad-capture_1"
  sleep 4
end

live_loop :drums do
  sample :bd_fat, amp: 3
  sleep 1
end

just hear nothing. I know that the synth receives the midi messages. It’s just the live_audio part that doesn’t work…

I think I have to select a sound card name in the config file (as mentionnée in the log below) but which one should I choose, i’m lost

boot error message:

Sorry, the Audio Server failed to start…

Please try changing your default OS audio input & outputs.

Note, the audio rate of the inputs & outputs must be the same.

For the curious among you, Sonic Pi uses the SuperCollider Audio Server to generate its sounds. By default it will connect to your default system audio input and outputs.

Unfortunately SuperCollider is having problems starting correctly. You can read the full error log below which should explain why.

To fix this you can try changing your default operating system audio inputs and outputs (ensuring they have the same audio rate).

Advanced Users - you may manually override this and further configure how SuperCollider boots by editing the file: C:\Users\Utilisateur.sonic-pi\config\audio-settings.toml
