Static In Audio Track When I have Shimmer Effects....

Recommended Posts

Is anyone else experiencing static in their audio when you have the "shimmer" effect on during a sequence?

It's not during the whole song...just when there is a "shimmer".

I have checked the audio track by itself, and it is clean.

Is this static thru the computer speakers or thru a FM transmitter?

Thru the computer speakers....and it keeps time with the beat of the "shimmered" events...and no where else in the song.

Leave it to you Jim to find the most bizarre issues all the time...

Personally, I've never had this happen and I use quite a few shimmers. Must be you. Try a new PC.

Does it happen all the time, or only when hooked into your network and operating your lights?

Don't know if it happens when operating the lights...haven't done that...just when I am running the Sequence Editor right now.

Sorry Jim, but in that case I don't have answer, assuming the audio file you listened to which is clean is exactly the same as the one that the sequence is using.

Does the audio waveform during those shimmers show anything out of the ordinary?

Not that I can see...

obviously it is not an issue with anyone else, so not an LOR issue and probably just a hardware issue on my computer...

I will transfer it to my laptop and see if it is there...I would guess it won't be.

Which brings me back to my original advice - time for a new PC...

You guys are tough on poor old Jim! Of course new pcs are pretty inexpensive these days.

I just can't figure how any lighting effect in the LOR software when the network is not connected can caused audio distortion, when the exact audio being played otherwise is clear, and there is no other distortion using the soundcards/speakers for other programs. :?

PS Don't feel too bad Jim, because I have never on my pc, been able to play any sequence at 1/2 speed and hear any usable audio (I just heard loud static). At 1/4 speed there is no audio heard at all....

Well...funny you should mention that, because NORMALLY when I play things at 1/2 speed it sounds fine...but every once in a while it ALSO becomes distorted. But if I stop the sequence and restart it, it USUALLY reverts back to sounding ok.
