medman2000 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi all - any thoughts? I am under the gun trying to use LOR to control music and DMX lights for a friend's wedding. I used audacity to splice together 2 hours of music, with fades and blends and some pretty cool mixing.LOR handles the 2 hour file ok in terms of music playing, but I really need the waveform so I can identify the transitions between songs - and I get this error:Audio Analysis error - cannot allocate memory for canonical wave fileI've never had memory problems on my computer, and I have nothing else running, so was surprised by this. I guess if I'm stuck I'm stuck, but if anyone has any thoughts or work-arounds to help me see a waveform please post. Wedding is 3/15 and I have to be programming the lights by tomorrow night 3/14 otherwise I go to plan "B" (aim my lights at the walls and put on automode and start drinking beer).Thanks!

dslowik Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 It is a known problem on large audio files. I saw and reported it back during the beta testing and it still exists today. I know it was documented somewhere when S2 was first released. Once I found the problem, I tried on at least 4 different machine and they all exhibited the exact problem on those files. My recommendation is that you cut the audio into smaller pieces. You'll have to experiment to see just how long you can go. Then set up a show to have them play in the correct order.

Denny Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I see where it was listed in the Beta Forum, DS04 at http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/forum85/14619.htmlIt specifies MP3 but does not talk about WAV. Perhaps you can try a WAV file and see if it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medman2000 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I had actually tried wav first and got the error, so must just be the file size. I'll report back if I can find the maximum size that worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
