Temp File Location in R15

[jibi049]

Hello,

I'm now using dMC R15 to convert my files from FLAC to MP3 or from MP3 to same format.
I've set the new parameter "temp folder location" pointing to a directory in my documents but when I convert using mp3 (lame) encoder, nothing is written in the folder.
I removed all the DSP effects but doesn't work.
I checked the system default folder and Music Converter stills write into... So when EXACTLY does the converter use the temp folder location set by user ?
(Windows 7 Pro x64).

Thanks.

The temp folder is used if the whole track has to be be decoded for a non live DSP effect.

Unfortunately, I do not know/find what is a "non live DSP effect" and a "live DSP effect". I see there is a "Force non-Live" effect, but again don't know its purpose.

Please somebody help me.

Thanks

Re: Temp File Location in R15

A non live DSP effect is an effect which cannot process the audio live, instead the whole track is decoded, the effect is run on the audio, then conversion continues, on each page for the DSP settings it will indicate if is an non live effect, for example the volume normalize effect is non live.

What about deleting source files ? I guess it is "live" (edit, sorry, mistake).
However I'm sure it didn't write any file even if no DSP effect was set before conversion. I checked the folder's content during the process and also system temp path and temp files were written in the last one. Could it be tracked with debugging option ?

Delete Source is live, it does not need the file decoding to a temp file.

It seems that dbpoweramp writes something to system temp path even if there are only "live" DSPs (eg Delete source file). Am I Wrong ?
I've seen some files created and deleted before and after the process :-)

These are small temp files, various configuration files.
