Re: Running SuperColliderAU

Hello Marcin,
Thanks again for all your help. Yes, stupid typo that time around. Executing

u = Server(\scau, NetAddr("127.0.0.1", 9989));
u.startAliveThread;

now seems to work! I can run a test synth in SC and hear it in Ableton Live!
The .remote method still doesn't work for some reason:
u = Server.remote(\scau, NetAddr("127.0.0.1", 9989));

still throws the ERROR: Message 'protocol' not understood.
error, but does that matter? I'm not as up on the workings of
server communication as I maybe should be.

Thanks again,
David
