OS X Yosemite

Post by drau2 »

Hi Jesse,

I've been using sooperlooper for some time now with no problems, however, I recently updated my computer to OS X 10.10 and am running into some issues. SooperLooper will no longer connect to the jack host when I start it or when I manually try and make it connect. If there is any way you could help me with the situation it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David

I haven't upgraded myself... so I won't be of much help until I do. Can you check to see if any other JACK apps (or Jack itself) have issues or have been reported to?

Or it could be a network configuration issue... what do you see when if you run the Console utility when you start jack and SL?

Sorry for the late response, I've been really busy. I can use jack to connect my interface to MainStage, and MainStage to any other software I want, so I don't think the problem lies with jack. When I open sooperlooper it opens with two icons on the bottom instead of one and after a few seconds tells me it was unable to connect. If it is a network error, what specifically should I look for in the console when I open jack and sooperlooper?

Look for anything new that appears when you start SL, then paste it in here.

Does the devicename of your Mac include a space? I had the same problem until I saw that the engine would use only the first part of the device name, so the URI in the console says "udpblablabla/Jans:9951" instead of udpblablabla/Jans Macbook:9951". I changed the space into a - and now it works again. Apple might have changed something about the code there so it won't work with spaces in the name anymore.

I tried changing my computers name to no spaces and it didn't work unfortunately. Thanks for the tip though, Freasy.

This is what appears in the console when I first start SooperLooper.

OK, try this: run the Terminal application. Then type the following command followed by enter:

ping -c 4 localhost

Does it appear to work, or does it give you an unknown host error? Run the following command:

cat /etc/hosts

And copy/paste the output here.

The ping appears to work, this is the output:

I get exactly the same output.
First it seems to work, sometimes not. But now SL just can't connect to jack. It must be SL fault since all other applications can connect to jack and work perfectly. I already tried changing the host name, reboot etc.. Now I will reinstall Yosemite and see if it works with a new system.

Hmm, I don't think it's worth reinstalling your whole OS!

There is some advanced troubleshooting we can do that isn't too hard, using the Terminal (command line).

1. Start two Terminal windows.
2. Start Jack as you normally would.
3. Assuming your SooperLooper.app is installed in /Applications:
In the first one type (after the $ prompt):
$ cd /Applications/SooperLooper.app/Content/MacOS
$ ./sooperlooper

In the second Terminal:
$ cd /Applications/SooperLooper.app/Content/MacOS
$ ./slgui

The GUI might come up behind something, click on it to bring it forward.
Is the behavior the same? Either way, copy and paste the output from each terminal back here.

Firstly it takes a lot longer to start the engine and the gui as usual. Normally SL starts in about 2 seconds (I have an SSD). Now starting the engine took about 30 seconds, gui even longer.

Output of sooperlooper:

Code: Select all

Jans-Apfelbuch:~ MacBook$ cd /Applications/SooperLooper.app/Contents/MacOS
Jans-Apfelbuch:MacOS MacBook$ ./sooperlooper
SooperLooper 1.7.2

OSC server URI (network) is: osc.udp://Jans-Apfelbuch:9951/
Output of gui:

  but treating the engine URL as osc.udp://localhost:9951/
Now the gui does not respond for about 5 minutes, there is no looper control visible. After those 5 minutes it responds again and shows the loop control for 1 loop but is still not connected. Then it doesn't respond again. There is no output. When I kill the process there is "Terminated: 15" in the gui-terminal.
If you want to test some things I can set up Teamviewer.

That is very illuminating. The fact that your sooperlooper comes up with Jans-Apfelbuch as the hostname instead of localhost is the issue, because the GUI is attempting to convert it to localhost.

When you run 'hostname' on the terminal what does it say? Also run 'ifconfig' and put the results here. Finally, take a grab of the system Settings->Sharing ....

I'm gonna track this &*^%$@# thing down!

Yeah I also thought that it might be an issue with the hostname. So I might want to reinstall everything so it is clean again. But if we can get this fixed it's alright. Maybe we can even get pitch-shifting to work again :D

I got exactly the same results as Freasy when I ran all of those commands, if that helps at all.

Now I tried reinstalling the complete system, still not working. The next thing I will try is running SL as root and if this is not working changing he hostname to localhost since this seems the thing SL tries to archieve.

Good news!
First I tried running the engine and the gui as root. The engine threw error messages that it couldn't open jack driver or something and crashed immediatly. The gui behaved like usual.
Then I changed the hostname via

Code: Select all

sudo scutil --set HostName localhost
to localhost and now it works again! :) I don't know if this affects other programs in a negative way though. Just pitch-shifting and stretching still isn't working. But I guess that's another construction area.

Yikes, you really shouldn't have to do that.... I'd like to make sure this thing works properly without special care... but at least you have a workaround in the meantime!

Not sure why the pitch shifting/timestretch isn't working over there... will see if I can reproduce that too.

If you come up with other tests I can change the hostname back. So if there is a way it can be fixed without changing the hostname to localhost I will be there for testing ;)

To the pitch shifting I can say that the engine doesn't even respond the osc. The messages just disappear into whatever.

Hello, I'm new to Sooperlooper. Just found out about it this week and am really excited about using it both in production and live.

I'm on Yosemite 10.10.2, SL v 1.7.3, and having problems with the Scratch and Pitch functions as well - they don't work at all. I installed it at work running OSX 10.9.x and Pitch and Stretch work perfectly.

Thanks for any help! If it's at all relevant, I'm using a MOTU Microbook as my audio interface.
