PKingRoch Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Why can I only accumulate 90 taps on the Tapper Wizard? I see nothing in the documentation about this limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 There is no built-in limit. There's of course some limit based on your computer's memory and such, but I would be very surprised if that were 90.Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say, exactly, word for word?

PKingRoch Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 No error message. Running Windows 7 x64 with 16GB of RAM and only about 4GB in use. The Wizard lets you continue to Tap, but it stops collecting them (button no longer flashes when you tap it) and does not enter the timings into the grid for the non-registered taps when you apply.

bob Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 How are you tapping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKingRoch Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 With my mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hmmm... I just tried a song, and it worked fine with 1626 taps.Just to be sure: When you click the mouse, you're clicking on the "Tap!" button, right?Does it always stop at exactly 90? If so, might it be that it's actually stopping at a certain point in the song you're trying, and you are tapping the same way? If that's a possibility, could you please try tapping in a different way, or perhaps a different song?What happens if you tap with the keyboard instead of the mouse?

PKingRoch Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I just did some additional testing. There is more information you need to get this to break and 90 is just an arbitrary number.Run the tapper wizard against any part of any song.Tap 10 tapsPress StopApply the tapsUndo the tapsPress StartPress Yes to discard the previous tapsYou can now only collect 10 taps.I must have collected 90 taps the first time I tried this and that is how I was frozen at that number.

bob Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Still not happening for me. I collected 40 taps, stopped, applied, undid, started, and successfully collected more than 40 taps.What are your other Tapper Wizard settings?What kind of audio file are you using?

PKingRoch Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I've uploaded a screen capture of my settings. This is happening consistently here with both WMA files and MP3 files. In my screen shot, I can no no longer collect more than 5 taps in that dialog until I Exit the dialog and start the Tapper Wizard again.

bob Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 What version of the software are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Roberson Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I can duplicate what PKingRoch is seeing.I am using version 3.0.2After the tapper getting locked onto a number trying to switch to the space bar for tapping does not make it go beyond the locked number.So far the only way I can get pasted it is to exit the tapper wizard and then open it again.I get the same on new sequence or a sequence from last year.If you do not "apply" the timing marks it will go past the number of taps you had made previously.

(1,20,14,45) does not matter. Once you have applied it, you can't go past that number of taps unless you exit the tapper wizard first.Get the same results just using the space bar for tapping.

bob Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 OK, it seems like it behaves properly unless the "Insert effects into a channel" option is unselected.We'll try to figure out what's going wrong. Thanks for pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DearVBGuru Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Just an FYI, I have seen this before when I have been working with a large number of taps (hundreds). I noticed it when I was tapping out a song and if I got stopped or messed up a few times and had to start over tapping (seemed to be with or without applying) eventually I ran into a limit where no more taps would be recorded even thought it looked like it was working the tap count would not change.What I discovered was that if I saved the file I was working on it appeared as if the tap limit reset itself and then I was able to continue tapping and all the taps would now get applied. I now just make it a habit that I save the file after tapping out a large number of taps before trying again either because of a mistake or a different channel.Try this and see if it helps...
