csimmon5 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 figured it out....found another thread that mentioned using audacity to change the mp3 to constant 128kbps and that fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightORamaDan Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Once in Constant Bit Rate there are seldom issues. Please send a copy of that MP3 file to support@lightorama.com so we can take a look. Also you can convert it to a wav file while sequencing.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use constant bitrate MP3s. I've found that when using the space bar to start play with the active cell (cursor) somewhere in the middle of the screen, the music and light events don't always match up. But when using the play button, which starts playback from the left edge of the screen, it is just fine. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I never gave it much thought. It happens maybe one time out of ten. I don't even know how long it has been occurring - definitely before the 2.8 upgrades. At first I figured it was something to do with my aging PC. Then after I replaced that antique and it still happened I figured it was some transient kind of software glitch related to the computer gods that I haven't got a clue about understanding, so I just blew it off since it wasn't that big a deal. As mentioned, it only happens every now and then. The next time presing the space bar, even from the ame starting point, it won't occur. I don't recall ever seeing it happen when pressing the play button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
