PierreLucB Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hi guys, I have a player outputting Dante (a stereo file) and the audio loops (which are correct loops) do not loop correctly in Watchout. There is a cut, a blank space of audio at the loop point. Windows 10 Watchout 6.6.5 We have a dedicated Vlan for Dante with separate network cards. Latest DVS software going to a Bose DSP to Bose Amps all in Dante. DVS in Asio, using 16x16 Also there are some audio files that are in Free running but that stop with digital distortion when I pause the timeline. But the main issue now is the looping issue. Any fixes for this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierreLucB Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Actually, the same is happening from the playback on the Production computer (the audio doesn't loop properly, it cuts for a short moment) so it doesn't seem related to Dante. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesemann Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Wav, 16 bit, Auxtimeline or Main? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierreLucB Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 The Files are Wav, 44.1khz, 16 bits playing on Aux timelines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesemann Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 What I have done after detecting that looping seems to not a strength in WO with images or films either, I just created really long timelines instead of loops, I think 24h is max.. Maybe that is an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierreLucB Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hmm maybe it is. Do you use a short file and create crossfade between them in the long timeline? If not how are you doing them? In that case the easiest would be to ask the sound designer to create a longer then needed file. In our case, the video files are looping fine but not the audio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when the audio is not looping you will have to stack them on two tracks with a fading overlap. Make on track, then copy it, place it and then copy the two… You might want to add a temporary play cues for easier „snapping“ of the fade-points. Remove those when done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierreLucB Posted August 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Right, makes sense as a workaround. Thanks for the suggestion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
