Audio Engine Problem

The audio engine is a random subroutine that CW put in there to make you think the software is doing something. It really doesn't do much of anything. But if you want your engine to run better, a new set of spark plugs, a new PCV valve and airfilter does wonders.

Hey there Bill - I see our lovable forum troll Pete has introduced himself to you.

You should be honoured though, after nigh on 21 months of complete and utter drivel from him, his reply to you is just about the most helpful, and humorous I can ever remember!

I must admit, I don't fully understand what the audio engine does exaclty though - I've never 'used' it for anything as far as I can remember

steve i added a picture up at the top of this thread. Have a look to check if i'm describing the right thing. I can hear fine when the light is clicked off but in GTP2 It wasn't a problem.

Its the chorus CH2 vsp off the list you posted in 1 of the past threads. the one I wanted to used is called wide guitar but ...
did you see the picture at the top of this thread?

I have playback and can hear what I play so it's only an annoyance. Steve did you get the mp3 the other nite? The last thing you said was there was a problem with the download. We were both too tired to function. The time got away from me.

its the frame for the lyrics. it needs to evolve but with bass the basics will be in place and i can go from there. Thanks for helping me out . The tempo was 86 on the keyboard but it wasn't quite in sync with the rhythm of GTP3. The clicks are from the keyboard.

And I didn't know you sung

The progression here would be fine Bill - I've just plugged the bass in!

Thanks Bill - I'm going to have a go now mate.

Bill - I'm missing chords for bars 41 and 42 (at about 1:52)

The bit between the E-F#11 and the return to the Em7

Bill is this a visual issue or an audio problem. When you say you are getting a delay when the audio engine is on is that a delay in what you play and what you hear coming through GTP3?

Durring pl;ayback you will need to have the audio engine running. This is normal for audio. The lag timne in the display may be due to how the video is routed in your computer. If it is on the main board chances are the lag time or visual latency is due to shared CPU time and memory usage. The visual ques can be imnproved through optimization of the PC and the usage of an external audio card and a dedicated video card.

Hi there Bill

Bit of a long shot this but worth checking none the less.

Right click on any meter in the Mix View of a project and choose this path:

All Meters>Playback Meter Options

Make sure Post-Fader is selected instead of Pre-Fader.

Yeah I guessed as much mate, just a long shot - the meters look a bit 'different' to me when pre-fader is set.

BTW, I've had quite a few runs through the choon with the bass Bill - I'll record something pretty soon and see what you think. It sounds best to me played really low and with a lot of deep bass - it keeps away from the same territory EQ-wise as the chords you're playing near the nut.

Steve

I've not tried guitar yet mate - I must admit, even though I studied a little music at school, I play lead stuff mostly by ear.

That's fine with most of the stuff I play, playing power chords the lead parts imply the chords to some extent and also the key.

I need to study more when it comes to 'real' chords I guess!
