cpu is burning

[jirko]

I'm routing 16 audio channels with soundflower to a host but the code needs more then 85% of the cpu, so I'm getting many drops in the signal.
Is there a way to make this job offline, rendering everything to 16 files?

any help will be much appreciated!

To render sound "offline" in ChucK you have to use the command line version (AFAIK) with the --silent flag. See here:

Then have a look at the documentation for WvOut:

Coming from Csound, I personally think offline ChucK is the coolest.
Hope that helps.
Later.
