Sound to Lights Concerns
Posted: 10 Aug 2023, 17:17
I suppose I'm the only one experienceing this but...
...with Sound to Light, there is a significant "lag" in triggers and the triggers seem inconsistent and responding to something above the 82 Hz filter setting. Are there any tips available for how to get things to run a little more smoothly. I have a pretty nice, but older, Windows 7 Enterprise Dell Studio E7240 laptop, but I don't believe any of the USB ports on it are up to current "fast" USB standards (they are all 2.0),
Processor
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2 x 2.1 GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo)
Graphics adapterIntel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD
It also has a eSATA/USB combo connector – "Connects to eSATA compatible storage devices, such as external hard disk drives or optical drives. Also, supports USB devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, printer, external drive, or MP3 player"
Any suggestions? (oh, I'm using the worlds cheapest LIXADA dongle. Could have something to do with it?
Moving the faders can lag just a bit which I assume is normal, and even worse when controlled from my midi controller. To be expected I guess)
Off subject...I am also wondering how I can use a " built-in fixture program" setting
in a sequence, and have it reset when the sequence is stopped.
For that matter, I'd like for it to "reset" to a Basic Scene whenever I STOP a sequence.
Currently, the fixture will just keep going after I've discontinued the sequence it was programmed within. Not much mention of this around the NET.
