Static delay between lights and music

[xmus]

I have about (guess) 200mS difference between the picture of the waveform, and where my "blocks" need to be, to look correctly synchronized with music.
I think my music leads my lights by 200mS.

I tried using the waveform plugin, and i get the same results, it is off by maybe a 1/4 second, and it is really hard to dial in.

Is there some setting in Vixen where i can tell Vixen what this static delay is, so i can design directly to the waveform and be correct, and it would also make the waveform plugin work too?

I need to delay my music by some fixed value 100% of the time.....

My config:
Win XP - SP2, fresh install
1.5GHz processor
1G ram
Vixen 1.1.11
6 XMUS boards serially connected (12 Renard 8's essentially)
96 channels on single serial port
57.6KBPS
25mS resolution


Thanks!

There is no such setting. There was a "delay" as you put it in a past version of 1.1. KC fixed it after the 1st version that had the waveform in there. Maybe you still have the older version. While you are at it why not upgrade to 2.0? There are a lot of improvements and enhanced features. Don't worry about it still being in Beta, its just about complete and ready for an official release.

Thanks Brian,

How do I get 2.0? I noticed people mentioning 2.0, and I went to vixenlights.com, but all I saw was 1.1.11 (my current version).

I'll stick with 1.1.11 for Halloween, my show is complete... but I'll make the switchover for Christmas.

I'm pleased to report that beta3 is perfectly synchronized with the music.

If the waveform has a spike, and you put a dot there, it is perfectly in time with the music when you preview :)
