Default SetBlockSize()

I have some kind of spectrum analyzer. When I plot the spectrum in Logic it is veeery slow. So now I have set the block size to something like 10 or so. It now gets updated fast, just like I wanted.

But then there seems to be the problem (I can only tell this case) that when I have two tracks routed to one bus and each has its own test oscillator and I have the spectrum plug on the bus, it crashes Logic.
I think it has to do with the block size. If I set it with GetBlockSize() it works fine I think.

Any ideas why this is? Or suggestions how I can update my GUI faster without changing the block size via IPlugBase::SetBlockSize() ?

Thanks,

MezmerizeR

I don't think you should call SetBlockSize() yourself, it is called by the host to tell your plug-in about the maximum number of samples it will receive through ProcessDoubleReplacing().

Maybe you can change the GUI redraw speed via MakeGraphics() i.e.:

Code:
int fps = 24; // I think 24 is the default, so change this number.
IGraphics* pGraphics = MakeGraphics(this, 803, 447, fps);

Unfortunately this does not change the speed. At least not in my plug-in.

I found out that when I set the block size in the reset() function that the GUI redraws as fast as i want it to. But if I create a second track with the plug-in on it, then in crashes.

When I set the block size in the constructor and not in the reset() function it does no redrawing.

The whole thing is kind of strange.

So I guess you will have to rethink your code, because the host determines the block size, not your plug-in. Note also that in some hosts the block size (nFrames) isn't constant.

Ok thank you for your help.

That's too bad because just setting the block size myself does exactly what I want, at least for one plugin on one track.

Maybe it's possible to call IsDirty more often? Or am I thinking in the wrong direction? Sorry, my prgramming knowledge is not that big. I do it in school for 2 years now. So audio programming is a complete new topic to me.
I'd be very grateful if you had more tips .

Has anybody an idea?

I really need your help. I still don't get it.

I tried Tales suggestion and it behaves as expected. Did you implement the fps value in the plugs constructor?
Just for testing purpose set it down to 1 an watch if it works at all.

No, it doesn't work. Here's the function that gets called in the constructor:

Code:
void SpectrumAnalyzer::CreateGraphics()
{
    int fps =1;
    IGraphics* pGraphics = MakeGraphics(this, kWidth, kHeight,fps);
    ...
   
    graph = new Graph(this, kGraph_X, kGraph_Y, kGraph_W, kGraph_H, kGraphDummy);
    graph->SetGraphVals(magFFT); 
    
    pGraphics->AttachControl(graph);
    ...

    AttachGraphics(pGraphics);
}
When I open the plug-in in Logic it draws a line and then it takes forever until something happens and then again forever.

So I now I shouldn't set the block size myself but what I also recognized if I do so, is that actually the spectrum isn't mirrored. But when I compile the plug as app then it does and I don't understand why. What is going wrong?

Wrong:

: IControl(pPlug, IRECT(x,y,width,height))


Has to be so:

: IControl(pPlug, IRECT(x, y , x + width, y + height))
