export.ck not found

Hi,

I just updated to the latest version of ChucK (1.3.4.0) and miniAudicle (1.3.2) for MacOSX. Now, when I try to export to a WAV file, I get the error message "[export.ck]: no such file or directory". I had never gotten this message before - can anyone point me toward a solution?

Thanks!
Anthony

Sometimes happens to me too...

Spork this (along with what you want to export):

Hi jkant,

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Should I be saving that code snippet as export.ck somewhere (and if so, where)? I've tried saving it in the directory with my other files and sporking it from one of them - I've also tried just adding it to my main driver.ck file instead of sporking it directly - I've also tried manually sporking it before starting the export - but none of those helped.

Thanks!
Anthony

I appreciate your willingness to help, but perhaps there is a misunderstanding here. To restate my problem:

Under the previous version of miniAudicle/ChucK, I *had* a working shred that I would spork to record my audio in realtime (this shred was very much like the one you suggested to me). This shred was sporked from a driver file (using a call to Machine.add()). At least, this shred had worked *some* of the time: occasionally, it would just produce an empty .wav file, in which case I'd have to shut miniAudicle down and restart it, and then it would create a proper .wav file. As an alternative, I could export from my driver file, which would also create a proper .wav file.

Since upgrading to the latest version of miniAudicle and ChucK, my once-working shred for recording does not work at all anymore (it *always* creates an empty .wav file), and when I try to export, I get the error message, so that does not work anymore either.

In short, the problem is NOT related to my not having a shred to initiate the sound recording; the problem is more related to what changed between ChucK 1.3.3.0 and ChucK 1.3.4.0, and what adjustments I need to make to my programs because of that (or what changes need to be made to ChucK 1.3.5.0 to fix it Wink

.

Thanks!

bump?

Hi everyone,

Well, panic mode is averted for now.

It turns out that my recording shred is not producing an empty wav file as I'd thought; instead, it produces a file that Audacity cannot import as a wav file. So, I tried importing it as a raw 16 bit pcm file, and I see now that the file contains the sound that ChucK had produced, and I can play it back. Whew!

Perhaps there is some header information that ChucK should be putting into the file when it records a wav file (and maybe something I need to do to my recording shred to make that happen?). Here is my recording shred, which is sporked from another thread and controlled from that thread:
