Title: scrolling lyrics speed
Post by: paul on August 04, 2002, 11:22:31 pm

I would like to adjust the speed of the lyrics scrolling.
I think they go too fast on the default.  I would like to slow
them down a bit.
I have been playing with the visualization studio but can't seem to see where to slow the scrolling down.

And maybe the speed of the bouncing ball could follow the music better.

Scrolling is in the textlocationequation. t=time

In Damage Layer III, t=t|PLS|.01;x1=0;y1=1-(t%(height|PLS|1));x2=x1|PLS|1;y2=y1|PLS|height|PLS|1;

If you change the t=t|PLS|.01 to t=t|PLS|.005 it will go slower.

I'm just assuming, I don't know much on visualization. All I do know is it did move slower when changing the t value.

I've been playing with the textlocationequation a bit more.  It would be cool to adjust the lyrics scrolling speed based on the length of the lyrics file and song length.  This would allow the lyrics to be somewhat in sync with the music.

For instance, if the lyrics file were 30 lines, and the song was 3 minutes, the scroll rate would be about 10 lines per minute.  You would need to take into account some lead time for the song to start and take into account the amount of text showing at one time.  It wouldn't be perfect, but I bet it would be close enough.

Is this at all possible now?  

All that we need is song length in seconds and lyrics length in lines.
