burps when using fade in on resume

Post by dmoes » Mon Aug 02, 2010 1:40 pm

Cue sequence was to start a song. then sm call to fade song and hold it. then it is to resume the song and by fading in where it left off.

cue 1. starts song
cue 2. fades cue 1 and hibernates.
cue 3. resumes cue 1 with fade in

what happens when I do this is it plays the first 10th of a second or so of the resume point at full level then starts fade in

so I tried this

cue 1. starts song at begining
cue 2. fades song and stops
cue 3. starts song again but 1 minute into song

same result it plays a blip at full volume then starts the fade in.

at first I thought it was a buffer problem with the sound card and it was playing the last bit a few milliseconds of the last cue but I tried using other sounds and confirmed that the initial burp or noise is the beginning of the cue starting at full level before it starts a fade in.

set up is

core duo intel
4gb ram
win 7
nvidia bios
echo gina 96/24 audio in this case using 1/2 and 3/4 analog out

what is odd is that I can't duplicate the prob from my older home system running XP

end solution was to edit a new track for cue 3 starting the song a minute in with the fade in built into the track works but would be better if SCS would handle the fade in itself.

Are you using 10.7.2 on both machines?

What 'internal mixer' settings do you have under Permanent Options / Audio Driver, for each machine? Are there any SCS Audio Driver Options that are different between the two machines?

I am sure I have 10.7.2 on both machines but not sure about driver settings Ill double check settings and version when I go over to the theatre and try some alternate settings. this is the first show that I am using SCS and I am expecting a few glitches. on the whole I really like it.
