Sound Effects are not working...

Post by freezyrik »

Hi community,

I have a problem with the effect generator. None of the sound effects are working. If i switch from sinus to sound curve in the effect generator, the sinus curve is still shown. I use a sound interface and sound input for bpm analyze and pulse detection is working. I deactivated all other sound interfaces on my computer, so the used interface is the only one which is active. I tried it with the actual release and with the beta version. On our PC in the club we use Windows 7. I also tried it on my mac and this is working fine.

Cheers, Rik

Hello,

Are you using the latest version of Daslight4 ? Please consider the fact that sound effects only work in LIVE. Trying to generate a scene with them will only give an empty scene, as the effect is computed according to current sound input.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
TomHat

It looks all the time like this when I switch to the effect. I tried the latest version and the beta. Same problem in live and in edit mode. I tried a sound interface as standart device and the on board input.

Hello,

Please check that you have the file named "SoundEffect.dll" in the folder :
C:\Daslight4\Daslight4\Effects\

Also, would you have the possibility to check this bug on another computer ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Really strange your effect generator looks as it does when you have selected Bar Graph effect...

It should look as follows :

How do you change effect in your list ? Do you scroll through the list ? Do you click on the effect ? Using touch screen ? Normal screen ?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Regards,
TomHat

For me, it is exactly the same, I click with the mouse on one of the audio effects, but nothing happens, it runs the previously active effect wide, and the parameters do not change, as seen in the picture, we have never been shown.
We already have that on 6 !! tested different computers, always exactly the same.

The settings window changes only when I select a non-sound based effect. When I try to select a sound based effect, the window does not change.

Hello all,

Would you have the possibility to test the same thing on other computers ? I know this may sound dumb, but we cannot reproduce this problem on our local computers. Testing it on more computers may help figuring out the cause of this problem.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
TomHat

Hello

I believe there are two topics here:

1) correctly setting the audio effects

2) audio efffect's settings not being visible

-----

Part 1:

All audio effects work "LIVE" only. Meaning if you try to generate a scene using audio-based effects, you'll only get a static scene. You have got to keep the effects generator running in order for the effect to play well.

This means, switch to the Live screen, choose an Audio Input in the Live Audio panel, select the Effects generator (and configure for audio) and the effect should run correctly.

-----

Part 2:

When using effects generator and selecting either Curve, Pixel, Matrix, you can select the last 1 or 2 modes, but the settings remains the same as the previous selected mode.

Example: When creating a pixel effect, default is rainbow. When selecting level meter, the settings do not change and stay as rainbow. Same for Matrix; Level Meter & Bar Graph can be selected but not displayed. Same for Curve; Sound curve can be selected but not displayed.

We are aware of this bug but it is a tricky one as it doesn't impact all windows computers, and not specific to an OS or hardware. The bug is in both the current official & beta however. Our developers are aware of this issue and hoping to correct it in the next update.

Kind Regards

This is an old problem. More than once discussed, for example viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3906 . However, it has not been corrected so far. I'm still waiting ... Rarity if it works (except for the manufacturer).
