Hi, fairly new w/ SuperCollider and am running into an issue. I have a random generative sound that I want to render through NRT recording. I was able to follow the instructions on the website’s example for Non-Real-Time recording, however, when I combine it with my already existing code… error every time. Does anybody know how to utilize NRT recording with iteration to record multiple files?
Can you either post the error or the code, please? Not much to go off of otherwise. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, had to go out in the real world for a bit… not a fan.
Here’s the code below:

var server = Server(\nrt,
options: ServerOptions.new
.numOutputBusChannels_(2)
.numInputBusChannels_(2)
);
a = Score([
[0.0, ['/d_recv',

Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, 0.2).dup)
}).asBytes
]],
[0.0, (x = Synth.basicNew(\NRTsine, server, 1000)).newMsg(args: [freq: 400])],
[1.0, x.freeMsg]
]);
a.recordNRT(
outputFilePath: "/Desktop".standardizePath,
headerFormat: "wav",
sampleFormat: "int16",
options: server.options,
duration: 1,
action: { "done".postln }
);
server.remove;
)

I’ve edited your post to add proper code formatting tags.
Always write multiline code blocks like this:
```
(your code here)
```
As to the problem: I don’t understand the connection between the long waitForBoot block and the subsequent NRT block (which basically copies the first, except the path). waitForBoot is real time. Any resources created in a real time server are not available to a non-realtime server. You’d have to collect the sequence of OSC messages into the score (this is unfortunately not transparently easy), including all SynthDefs, buffers etc.
What is the error btw? As noted, “I got an error” does make troubleshooting a bit of a mind reading game.
hjh
thanks for the help! i was implementing the code incorrectly. I went back and checked the demo. Gonna get rewriting. Thanks again!
