Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Maybe I'm missing something very basic here, or maybe I just made a very bad assumption. I started playing with the LOR sequence editor for the first time and I don't see any way to display the waveform of the audio track.In years past I have used an audio editing program such as Sonar with one audio track and a bunch of midi tracks to control individual light channels via a midi to dmx converter, driving DMX dimmer packs.With LOR I am having a hard time figuring out how to create a sequence synced to music if you can't "see" the audio track waveform superimposed on the time scale.If this really can't be done it seems like a pretty glaring flaw in an otherwise well thought out package.-jim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 No waveform.I think it is a matter of the direction they're working from and what they're based off of. The heart of the LOR sequencer isn't an audio tool. It is a scheduling tool. So it is more of a scheduler that happens to play music than an audio tool that happens to schedule events. (Follow me?)Not to say it can't happen. Just it likely wasn't a core feature from the direction they are working from.A waveform would be pretty useful at times.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I went as far as to use another software package to get the waveform. I wouldn't recommend the one I bought 'cause it's buggy and didn't let me export the timing marks. But I used the included MP3 editor with "Magix MP3 Maker" to tag all the events in my songs. Then I copied (by hand) all the events into an Excel sheet. I played it back over and over and copied the lyrics in an adjacent cell. Then I printed that out and went to town on the LOR editor. It would have been much easier to open a waveform viewer in the LOR editor huh? Keeping my fingers crossed that one is included in a future release of LOR...jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I use the free Audacity program (audacity.com). I display the waveform on my desktop and use my laptop at the same time to do the LOR sequencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I just listen to a song over and over until I get the beat down ... and tap it out as I see fit ... versus having another program tell me where to put the marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'm with Don. I am certain to have seriously calloused fingertips from banging on the spacebar with the Tapper wizard Then if you didn't get it quite right, you can always adjust it after the fact.
