Hoster 4.01 One teeny issue

[ddouglass]

You are welcome and good luck with your show on Friday.
Where did you get the Cheech and Chong clip? That would be a hoot!!

7 Years ago it was given to me by a friend who sent me an email about something we had done. We were flying down a hill in WV woods (Mountain bikes) and we came around a corner (left turning) and the river had washed the trail out. We both grabbed trees on our left side and the M bikes were still clipped to our feet ......a sight to behold. We managed to somehow NOT go down the steep bank theat the swollen river had eroded (river at the time was back at normal pool). That's the story of how I got it

Thanks. Funny story. Bet it wasn't finny at the time.

So sorry, I know that I should have started a new thread but I am unable to figure out how to start a new one, so I'll just ask a simple question here. I downloaded Hoster 4.01 demo on laptop with XP and transfered some KMA songs to a new folder on my desktop and liked what I saw. When I tried to do a live key change (both + or -), there was a very distinct lapse in the audio (about 1/2 second or more). Updates are all in order. Will this go away with a full install?

I'm running a Toshiba 1.6g with 1024 memory

Regards and thanks, Dave

There is a lag in the change so you can click the + or - more than once to get to the desired level. That way you don't hear it drop as each change kicks in, just the final one.

To start a new thread go to the forum you want to post one in from main forum page and look at the top of the list. There is a button called "New Thread".

Dale, Thanks for the info on starting a new thread, I just didn't look hard enough. About the live key change lag, it seems a little bit harsh but, I understand the reasoning. I'll just make sure I change it before it plays or, after play has started, I'll change it with the mixer.

Regards to all, Dave

Dave,

I brought the key change "on the fly" issue to MTU's attention and in one of the beta versions, they made it so there was a delay before the key changes so we could say click the + button three time and we would only hear one change which was great, but it caused problems eleswhere in the program and they set it up like it is now. Once they get Hoster 4 stable for Vista I'll suggest they try this again. Like you, I miss being able to make any key change "on the fly" hearing only one change.

It's a trade of and I'm with you on this one. I don't do it much but when a singer is in over his head, it's already rough and hearing the steps change doesn't help matters.

If you can, type the key change in key column of the playlist before the song starts playing. This way you don't have to wait for the track to start running before you can change the key. Also the singer database saves a key setting for each song.
