Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Unchecking the box marked "Use a Countdown" does not get rid of the countdown in the tapper wizard.I'm using the freeware editor version 1.4.0.My sequence has a silent beginning, so I didn't need the countdown. But lo and behold, the countdown still happened when I unchecked the box!Edit: While I'm at it, I also noticed the Tap Wizard resets settings to default every time it's opened. Would be nice if it would keep the settings from the last use.Edit II: And the option to start anywhere in the song using the Tap Wizard.I hope your programmer is a hearty fella with all these suggestions rolling in!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I've also discovered a problem that keeps me from using the tapper.First I set up event times using the tapper. Then I started programming the sequence. If I play it from the beginning, everything is in sync. If I play only the visible screen it is no longer in sync.

If you can find some software to convert the MP3s to fixed bit rate then you should not have that problem. (When LOR tells Windows Media Player to start a position other than the starting point in a MP3 that is not fixed rate then it appears to make a best guess at that location which would not matter much in most applications but it does not work well for us)...

I don't remember where I got the information, but I believe the songs were 128 bps. It was either iTunes or GoldWave where I found the bitrate. Is it possible that they were only showing me the initial bit-rate?What's the best way to determine the bitrate of a sound file?It didn't affect me too much, because as I mentioned back at Halloween, I discovered that I'm a terrible tapper. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
