Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Is the tap feature the best to use and work out little bugs or is there a better way. Can some one provide me with a sample music sync and animation file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 The tutorials and demos here: http://www.lightorama.com/support.html will get you started. I normally tap the beat out, and put the beats in a channel like they do in the tutorial. Then I tap it out again, but this time following the meledy. Makes it a lot eaiser to sequence.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 You will find it's personal preference, so I'd try a couple of different ways to see what is the best.When I started LOR, I did tapper wizard only with a blank grid. Now, after I've done a bunch of songs, I start with a grid of .04 second timing. Then I run the tapper wizard and using the snap to command, I can use the tapper to only place events along the .04 gridlines. I also will just play the file and draw it in without using the tapper wizard. It just depends on what works the best for you.If you do use the tapper, don't forget that you can run it multiple times on the same file. I will run it 4 or more times on each song. So one time will be the beat, one for the melody, one for whatever else you want to highlight in the song, etc.For LOR sequence files, check out my website http://lorsequences.com. Go into the download section, and check out the Christmas section with videos. These will show you what it looks like. I should still have the audio for anything that has a video, so PM me. With that said, I'll only send you one or two audios so you can see what's going on. You really need to obtain your own (legal) copies of the audio for the songs in your show.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I used the 'tap' feature when I first started. IT gave you an idea where the 'highs' or beats were.I no longer use the tap feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hit play the visible screen and do screen by screen with grid set to .05 or .10 depending on song...Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I never could master the "tap" feature. The wave display on version 1.6.1 makes synchronizing much easier and faster as it gives you a graphical view of the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 The trick was to tap ahead of the beats. You probably noticed in 1.5 that tapping right on the beat still put the lights slightly behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
