smjosephrn Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I've been sequencing using mp3 files and have been reading about a few problems using mp3 in LOR software. So, if I have problems with the files, how do I go about switching to .wav format. ( I know how to convert mp3 to .wav I need to know what I need to do to associate the converted music to my animations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 "Edit -> Audio File" and select the new audio file to associate with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksback72 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Why would you need to convert over to .wav?Once you convert the music to a fixed 128 bit in mp3 there shoudn't be any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that when you play the sequence, Windows is having to decode and place the MP3. The .WAVs play with less CPU time, which in theory, on slower machines, can help out.I ran MP3's in 05, and WAV's 06 on the same (really slow) machine. I didn't notice a problem.

smjosephrn Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 I was thinking that in case I ran into any issues I could convert. My main computer is a dual core so it takes a LOT to slow it down. But the show computer will be an older Windows ME machine that I think is around 800mHz.I need to start converting to .wav for my future projects.

Jacksback72 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hey Don,I have the MP3Show 1602 Controller or what ever the number is.I download evrything onto the SD card and away I go - that's probably why I had no problems like others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpooler Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have been setting up my first year show and ran into the opposite. The first sequence in my show used a wav and the second and subsequent times through the show it skipped the sequence. I converted it to mp3 128 bit, no problems.
