Hi
Apologies if this issue has already been discussed. THINK I vaguely remember
some prior discussion, but am not certain.
With some MIDIMan MIDI interfaces, and perhaps others-- If the Mac goes to
sleep, after the Mac wakes up, MIDI is dead, and requires a reboot to get it
working again.
Back in the 'good old days' of Classic, I would disable sleep and processor
throttling when the program started up.
I removed that code in the OSX version. I thought disabling sleep might not be
advisable, not recommended, or perhaps it isn't even possible anymore, dunno.
Given that it is not a good thing that MIDI would die if you let the Mac go to
sleep, what is the recommended way to avoid this?
Is it 'user-friendly' or even possible, to reliably disable sleep on OSX?
It would be nice if Apps could do that when it was really necessary,
but not all the time.
In the context of a DAW, that would be when it's sitting there idle
and not playing or recording. It would probably require event
notification, because the DAW would have to stop real-time threads
and the like to sleep gracefully....
At least some DAW vendors recommend that their users turn sleep off
in the control panel. This is less energy efficient than having the
Apps turn sleep off when they need to.
