b_scheepers Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hey! I am new to LOR this year and was wondering if anyone has had songs skip when using a G3 MP3 director and FM transmitter?I have no problem obtaining a signal but some songs skip. I tried one song with audacity and it was already set to a constant bitrate. I have 2 16 channel controllers and everything else seems ok so far. Could it be electrical interference as the transmitter is near my modem, router and electrical panel? A bad SD card? The songs play fine on the computer. It is not another station kicking in and out, as it sounds like a Cd skipping. A poor quality file or something?Any tips would be appreciated.

1983ss454 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've had poor performance from my transmitter before when running it on the same circuit as the computer. Always seem to have some interference. Also try to not have your audio cable ran near electrical cords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_scheepers Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 So the transmitter is on a different circuit as the computer, and certain songs do not skip. Is there any reason the sequence itself may bog down and cause the songs to skip? Specifically "Let it Go" skips and my kids are quick to point out this is not acceptable. I did not create the sequence but I did purchase the song so the quality is good. I am doubting interference as it's consistently skipping at the same spot in the song..

EARLE W. TALLEY Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Run that song thru Audacity again, sometimes the first doesent go so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandalen Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Does the song skip when there is a particularly loud part of the song, or one that has extra bass? Off the cuff, these small transmitters lack power, on purpose, because going past 200' transmit is not really 'legal.' SO.. when the bass is high or the transmitted volume is high it sucks the power available to transmit the stereo signal. The signal gets weak and the discriminator in your radio will 'cut out' the signal instead of letting you hear static. If this is the case, the solutions are: Turn down the initial transmitted volume.Use a different plug for the transmitter that has the SAME VOLTAGE, but higher output amperage.

Mega Arch Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If you used the SD card before, could have some trash on it.Either try a new card, or reformat that one and then reload your show.No guarantees though... Could be as mentioned above...Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
