Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 NOOOOOO ! I just upgraded my LOR 1.5 software to 1.6.3. Now when I try to slow down the playback speed so I can get the lights on the beat, I find that no matter what I do, the playback speed is normal - no 1/4, no 1/2, no 2x, no 4x. Shoot! What happened ??? I'm really upset about this. Anything I can do short of rolling back to ver 1.5 ?D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I sure hope that this feature will be back in a new version VERY soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 If you've mentioned it in the past, I've forgotten ... are you running Vista? If not, then there is no need to run 1.6.3. Go back to 1.6.2. (There is a thread running around here with a link to 1.6.2.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Would using a MP3 file or a WAV file have any bearing on the play back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yes, if you want to slow down you need to have it in wav form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Not working here with any type of file, WAV or otherwise. Plays at normal speed whatever is selected...jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks guys... I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and use the wave form to get as close as I can. Not as precise as 1/4 speed playback, but it will have to do.D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Good idea Jeff... Hope he can get 1.6.4 out in short order to add this feature back into the editor.D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownTown Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bump - Anyone know if there is relief in sight for getting the 1/2 speed and 1/4 speed working again after installing 1.6.3? After the 4th of July tear down, I am ready to start sequencing for CHristmas again, and I really miss the ability to slow down the song to get the timing right on. Or an other option would be to downgrade, but I've heard that that won't work either.Thanks.D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Yes there is a new release we are starting to test that should help most people with this issue. If it tests out OK it will be out pretty quickly (this month).Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have upgraded from 64 to 176 channels this year, and have lots of updating to last years sequences to do, plus I have to get Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer done for my son. Only 142 days until lights on, so I have to get cracking!D.T.edit - spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksback72 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I see a few people have commented on 1/4 and 1/2 spped - what do you use that for?I programmed songs last year and I don't know where the speed difference would come in?Could someone explain the use of that adjustment please.Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownTown Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Bill...When you are sequencing the songs, 1/2 and 1/4 speed playback helps a LOT. It slows down the music so that you can listen and watch for the exact grid square where the event should happen. Makes your sequencing very precise and tight. Without it, you have to watch the grid go whizzing by, trying to see and hear the moment of the beat or transition you're working on. 1/2 speed works fine for most songs, but some faster or complicated sections require slowing to 1/4 speed. Makes sequencing MUCH easier.Unfortunately, the newest version (1.6.3) has lost the ability to playback at the slower speeds, so my sequencing has ground to a complete halt. If you want to try the feature, make sure you install one of the older versions.D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Sanderson Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Does it take 1.6.3 to run with Vista, or no? I've assumed so, and therefore, have been trying to get as close as I can without the 1/2 speed feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blearning Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Patiently waiting as well, there is nothing on the support site yet. I went to 1.6.3 and then rolled back to 1.5 as I needed the 1/2 speed feature.looking forward to the fix ...PS Dan if you need a beta or RC test I am your man. Mine is a windoze XP machine., and I run my show on windoze 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssjp Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 This is very dissapointing. I guess I should have read this thread before updating to 1.6.2. Now if only I still had the older version I could roll back to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
