Host Forum: Sonic Visualiser / Align File Timelines issue
« on: June 15, 2009, 15:29:54 »
Hi,
I seem to be having some issue with aligning timelines of three files I'm comparing in visualiser.
So far I've
1. imported 3 sound files (2 wav, 1 mp3)
2. inserted the barlines on each by tapping
3. reset the bar numbering to start from 1 on each, using simple counter
4. pressed the align button
The app then processes files 2 and 3 and a little while later they show as aligned.
However...
When I subsequently play them and swap from one to the other, they are clearly not aligned as, e.g. song 2 comes in at a different point from where song 1 left off.
I had assumed that the processing would synchronise the bar lines, and any difference in tempo would be automatically allowed for by compressing the slower tempo pieces. Am I mistaken or have I missed something in the documtentation?
These are not classical pieces, they are jazz standards with very different tempos - I'm not sure if that is significant.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
