Hi, just recently started trying to learn this crazy beast and have stumped myself (yeah, not too hard really). The simplest "pan right" has stopped working, or maybe never did, can't really say for sure. The following will play, but mostly out of the left speaker.
d1 $ s "bd" # pan 1.0
The SuperCollider scope shows the same. Strong signal on channel 0 (left?), tiny signal on channel 1 (right?). Changing pan to 0 silences whatever was on channel 1 so, half of pan is working. Thinking it might be a problem with the mono bd sample, I tried outdoor:0 and get the same thing.
I turned on server OSC message logging and see
[ "/s_new", "dirt_sample_1_2", -1, 1, 5765, "bufnum", 348, "sustain", 0.283166, "speed", 1, "freq", 261.626, "endSpeed", 1, "begin", 0, "end", 1, "pan", 1, "out", 36 ],
So I took those same arguments and made a similar call from SuperCollider using the same synth and buffer
x = Synth.new(\dirt_sample_1_2, [\out, 0, \bufnum, 348, \sustain, 0.283166, \speed, 1, \freq, 261.626, \endSpeed, 1, \begin, 0, \end, 1, \pan, 1.0]);
x.free
which, not surprisingly, generated completely different OSC messages
[ 9, "dirt_sample_1_2", 5766, 0, 1, "out", 0, "bufnum", 348, "sustain", 0.283166, "speed", 1, "freq", 261.626, "endSpeed", 1, "begin", 0, "end", 1, "pan", 1 ]
but behaved flawlessly.
The biggest difference I see is that Tidal/SuperDirt is using a separate bus (36 in the captured osc message). When I change SC's scope to display the bus indicated in the OSC messages everything is as I would expect when panning in Tidal (pan 0 shows signal on channel 36 nothing on 37, 0.5 shows signal on both and pan 1 shows nothing on 36 and signal on 37). So it seems that there's something interesting happening when routing the audio from the dirt bus back to the main output bus. This is where my limited knowledge of SuperCollider and Tidal end and I turn to the experts.
Some specifics:
Windows 10
GHCI: 9.0.1
Tidal: 1.78
SuperCollider: 3.11.1
VS Code: 1.59.1
Tital Extension: 1.4.1
I did have some odd errors during (manual) installation (I'd already been using SuperCollider). The cabal install tidal would error out with some odd build error but restarting the install would build the failing module just fine. This happened about three times. Then nothing was working and I noticed the build finished with a warning about using the lib option to install. After trying that everything seems to be working just fine. Thought I'd mention it, just in case.
Anyway, "hi." Enjoying learning Tidal and hopefully I'll have something more interesting than "pan right doesn't work" in the future.
Cheers
