Key Change Problems

[JOANIE]

Hi All,

I have a terrible problem with Hoster when performing a key change.
If I leave the key in the original format everything works fine. However when doing a key change in either direction the music cuts in and out all the way through the song.

This only started after upgrading to the latest version of Hoster. It worked fine before that.

HELP & Thanks!

Joanie did you upgrade to 4.20 from the previous upgrade or from one farther back?
Have you tried putting in a key change before a songs starts and has it done the same or not?
Can you tell us what operating system and what type of computer you are on? Really need this to be able to try to help you.

Hi Dale,
I upgraded from one farther back than the previous upgrade.
I am using a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows XP Pro.

I have been using this laptop for quite a while with no issues prior to the upgrade.

Do you know how much memory and what speed your processor is?
What was the previous version of Hoster you were using?
What size is your Hard Drive and how much free space does it have?

[JOANIE]

I have 2GB of RAM and an Intel processor T7250 @ 2.00GHz.
Free space on C:= 275GB
Free space on external = 271GB (this is where the songs are)
I'm going to guess the version I upgraded from was 4.1.2 or 4.1.4.

Seriously, I do not think this is a resource issue. Hoster worked just fine on the older version. After the upgrade the songs are distorted whenever a key + or - is selected. It matters not whether the key change is selected before or after the song begins.

Now there is a new upgrade that fixes some more problems. It is 4.22. Don't know if it will fix this but hopefully will.
What operating system do you use (XP, Vista, Windows 7)?
It is possible to be a resource problem as you are adding more functions in the upgrade as well as changing the key which will add to memory use. Not saying it is, but all information helps to narrow down the problem. Before you upgrade to 4.22 be sure you go through the checklist again for your operating system.
