Problems looping MP3 files

Post by Urbem » Mon Jul 25, 2005 2:16 pm

So here it is : I load an MP3 file and have L5 auto-warp it. I select a (4-8 or 16 bars) loop and scroll across the MP3 file to find a loop that will fit with the current liveset that is playing. I set the Global Quantize to 1/16 and use the mouse and/or assign the loop start point to a MIDI knob.

The problem is that every now and then while scroling the clip just stops playing. The sequencer is running and no stop action was sent to that clip. I just hit the clips play button and it plays back again.

Near the end of that process when i get a cool sounding (4-8 or 16 bars) loop. I fine tune some warp markers and sometimes the clip loop end point is ignored and the MP3 file plays and pass over the loops end point. Stopping and Restarting Live or Clip don't fix it. If i manually move the loop end point 1 bar up and down and finally putting it exactly where it was everything is fine. I have tried to save the liveset to reproduce the bug, but the loop plays fine when the Liveset is reloaded.

Both problems appens at least 8 times just yesterday using different Livesets and MP3 files.

BTW i'm using Live 5.0.1 and most of my MP3 files are encoded at 160kbps. Thanks again for your great software!
