[Fixed] Start before end of cue XXX not always working

[rborsey]

SCS 11.2.4 : I have audio cues with loops pretty close to their start (for vamp intros to songs) and a lighting control midi file cue which runs in parallel. When the loop is released the lighting cue file is stopped immediately and then I have a 2nd lighting cue file which starts automatically based on the audio file end (ie to start the lights file running just after the loop is exited). I think this is the only way to do it as midi files can't have loops. With SCS 10 this has been working reliably and with good synchronisation. I upgraded to SCS 11 and now sometimes the 2nd lighting cue file starts, sometimes it doesn't. Tried this using ASIO and Directsound as my audio engine - same problem.

All help appreciated

Thanks

What audio file format are you using? MP3?

Could you email me a diagnostic dump file? You can create this file by starting SCS and selecting 'Create Diagnostic Dump File' from the drop-down menu displayed when you click the Help button in the main window. The file will be saved in a folder named "SCS Dumps" under "Documents" or "My Documents".

Howdy. Dump file just created and sent with more info. In answer to your query my audio files are all wavs.

Hi - did you get my new dump file and mail last week?? I did make a mistake with my calculations on cue 17 but cue 72 should be OK etc . . .

Cheers

Yes, dump file received but I still can't see why this fails and so far haven't been able to reproduce the error. I've emailed you details of a tracing version to run.
