Between 1 and 3 seconds delay before sound start playing

[fgoulet]

Hi everyone,
I am begining to add sounds and music samples along video clips in my VJ perfomance. However, when I click on a "cell" containing an uncompressed wave sound, a yellow progress bar appears spaning the entire cell. Then after between 1 or 3 seconds, the progress bar has disappears and the sound start playing.

I have this behavior on both my laptop (Conexant SmartAudio HD) and my desktop (ADI AD1988 8 -Channel High Definition Audio). I have tried with Asio4All but it does not seems to make a difference.

I have also tried to set a smaller buffer size in the audio preferences, but again, no noticeable change in the delay.

Of course, I would like my audio clip to start playing right away when clicked. Is it possible with my machines integrated audio or do I need some sort of external audio card to have that?

Thanks for your advices

Frederic

Hi fgoulet,

It's a feature not a bug! Just set Menu->Composition->Beat Snap to 'None' and the yellow progress bar will disappear - Tada!

I guest I missed that one when "reading" the manual...
