Hi,
after working intensively with 1.1.6, I found 2 serious issues:
1.) Recently, when loading and .osm, I get a bucket load of direct sound errors.
It seems to be triggered by first opening/closing synthmaker serveral times.
Also if another audio app is running, it can trigger this error. But: synthmaker continues to produce those errors even when the other audio app has been closed for a long time and you load synthmaker after that.
Bottom line is: first time(s) Synthmaker runs good, but after some opening closing different audio progs&synthmaker the error appears, also when synthmaker is the only running audio prog.
I get the feeling that the direct sound devices are not released properly or something.
See attached capture.
2a.) Synthmaker does not create .dll's anymore! If I check the target dir: nothing there!
I am going to try a reboot and reinstall for this one.
(confirmed this before I got above error to make sure they are not related)
2b.) Making exe's is also broken. I get below error.
Might be related to my Win7 x64? I intstalled synthmaker to D:\apps\synthmaker\
Only thing I did recenty, I installed and uninstalled virtual DJ (comes with hercules dj steel controller)
But I 100% confirmed there are no audio relaled background processes running.

Ha Medelander 😉
just emptied my win/temp dir and confirmed there was no file in my sm recovery folder.
(I have explorer configured to see hidden files etc.)
But still not making .dll's or exes.
Or did I miss a folder?
Gonna do a reinstall, because the project continous.
I hope my sm plugs will have a more longer lifecycle.

Did you catch the hidden "default user" folder in documents and settings?
It requires a show al hidden files.
If thats not it i dont know? Malc seems to be absent for a while now.
Guess it`s no more beta`s...

Oh yes.
Forgot that one.
In win7 its called C:\Users\
Only could find a temp folder with files in it in C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\temp
Emptied that with no effect.

Ok, after reinstall I can make plugins again (.dll and exe).
But the direct sound error is still here.
What also bugs me is this question: how the heck can Synthmaker get corrupted up to a point that it even can't make plugins anymore?!
What's going on here?

You can compile with an older version like I do with 1.1.2.
VST Plugins work perfectly, even in Ableton Live.

maybe it`s not really win 7 proof yet, I had some startup issues on xp but nothing
serious.

The directsound issues seems to be related with my ESI Maya 44e driver not releasing the sound device correctly...
sorry for that.
