[Coco] Drivewire?

Fri Jun 22 15:45:02 EDT 2012

They didn't work differently... just odd behavour in gui as compared to the direct command. The gui selection gave me th GS module, but it stuttered when played. The direct cmd worked perfect. As I said before... could be my system. I'll recheck everything in a couple of weeks when I get the "Big" pooter back in the loop. This pooter's PCI ports are blown so there's no telling how that affects the rest of the pooter... seems to work ok though.

'Its odd that anything would work differently between the gui and the
w command, because the GUI just sends dw commands. It will show you
he commands its sending on the UI tab, maybe it's sending something
ncorrect?"

 I checked the "used midi" it was on... then a little while later... after 2 or 
 restarts from errors... it was on. There's something funky 'bout the whole 
idi menu thing though. When I use the MS GS wavetable or mapper, I get nothing 
ometimes... it stutters others, Jave sound worked fine. Then I discovered if I 
all it with DW cmds... it works fine. I've tried it several times. On old 
ersion as well as new... could be my system though. The PC I'm using is old and 
as problems. I may try reinstalling my soundcard since I hadn't used it in 
bout 3 or 4 years, It may have some currupted dlls. I don't normally use this 
C for sound and my studio PC has no serial port. I should have one is a couple 
f weeks
 Any suggestions on a good USB 2 Serial? I'll be running a quad core AMD with 
indows vista.

 Now to the errors I was getting... seems the Library browser has a file limit 
n how many disks can be in a directory. I have some direcotries that crash 
rivewire while I'm just scrolling in the left pane with nothing in the viewer. 
 may need to sort the disks and make smaller dirs. These were pretty big as I 
as sorting them to sub-dirs and this was my presort-viewing dir. The error pane 
aid somethin about "too many"... can't remember. Next time I'll copy it and 
ast it for ya.

Its odd that anything would work differently between the gui and the
w command, because the GUI just sends dw commands. It will show you
he commands its sending on the UI tab, maybe it's sending something
ncorrect?
If you just click the button to send an error report in the window
hat displays when an error occurs, I'll get all the details I need.
The library tool is still pretty experimental.  I'm not surprised it
truggles with large directories.  It can be improved in that regard,
 just haven't spent much time optimizing as I'm still sorting out how
xactly it's going to work.
If you (or anyone else) has ideas, suggestions, complaints about the
ibrary tool, this is the time to let me know.  I'm adding tools like
uplicate disk detection, searching, etc.

 All -in all though... looks good.... still beats the hell out of my flakey 
loopy drives.

  I just got the new drivewire version going and I'm wondering... how do I
 ccess the new features and is there a list?

 The Library tool is where most of the new features are.  Right click
 n Local and add a directory with disks in it, and you should see many
 ew things are possible.  You can browse through the contents of
 isks, see files and pictures, etc.
> Also... I noticed the Midi selection in the Menu is greyed out? I can still
 ccess the control of the Midi though DW commands but no Menu.

 Sounds like "Use Midi" is turned off?  That is what triggers the menu
 tems to grey out.
