Title: Help - not able to crossfade and segue properly
Post by: Blooder on December 21, 2009, 09:29:47 am
Despite trying every setting in crossfade playback options I am not able to achieve a desirable crossfade effect.  About 60% of the songs crossfade properly, the others just play till the end with a 2-3 silent gap.  I've noticed too on these songs that the song progress bar is actually extended beyond the length of the actual recording.  The song may show 11 - 17 seconds left yet ends. 

I have read the forums for suggestions and settings concerning crossfading.  I've tried adjusting the buffering settings as well without a positive effect.  I don't believe its a problem with the actual length of the file or recording, as previously I've been using Winamp with Sqrsoft crossfading and all selections crossfaded perfectly.

Does anyone have any thoughts or settings ideas I can implement?

Are the files that don't crossfade different formats?  What formats are you playing?

I checked it and its about as random as a Vegas slot machine.  MP3, FLAC, WAV, doesn't matter, some cross fade others do not.  I'm thinking maybe its a setting or adjustment.

Does it happen when it switches formats?

Try enabling the option to trim trailing and leading silence.

If you're playing music of different sample rates or channels, you'll need to force them to a standard format in DSP Studio > Output Format to get fades.  Otherwise a format change requires a hardware reset of the soundcard for it to change its clock.
