BUT, there is about a second and a half delay when using Freestyler on Vista... Not very impressive for BIG shows, but ok if its just triggering a few scans...

Hi kikabyte and all the others, yes, there is a delay when using Freestyler with Vista. As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, Vista seems to have some kind of complex driver architecture. I tried to update the audio driver for my soundcard, but it didn't change a thing. The device is called HD audio device and seems to be a generic driver issued by Realtek. However, it works fine under XP, but shows the delay you pointed out. Even external soundcards don't really make a difference. Apparently there is an external Soundblaster soundcard available, but I don't want to spend 100 bucks on it.

So let's hope that the next Freestyler version has the "Vista delay bug" fixed.

Practice and enjoy (yeah, I know that this is just quotation)!

But, with, the '3', i can see the sound in Vumeter. But nothing move.

Hi Guys

Can everyone check their freestyler.ini file and look for all the "sendmessage=0" entries and change it to "sendmessage=1".
Also if you find double entries in the freestyler.ini file you should remove them.

Keep me informed about this issue so I can find a solution asap.

Best regards

checked freestyler.ini and found only 1 sendmessage.
It's part of [External control] and it is already =1.
