ESS large sample array sound glitches
Apr 1st, 2008, 11:34pm  
hi

i want to load about 1200 samples in an array with ess. (each sample has about 1 seconds duration, all samples together about 93MB). it seems that when the application is running, it fills the ram and when it reaches 1GB the soundfiles are not playing clear anymore.
(i dont understand why 93mb of sound needs mor than 1GB of ram to play.)

is that a limitation in java (does it have a problems with more than 1GB in ram)?
is there a method in ess or java to clear the ram wich is used for the samples?

If the samples are MP3s and you store the audiostream as an array which is uncompressed it can be way bigger then your source files.
Did you ran out of ram? (would give you an error)

would you mind sharing your sourcecode with me? I need to load a sample multiple times into an array with ESS (seems best for it) and would like to see how it's done.
