Hi I'm new to this list and I appologize if this question has already been dealt with. Carlton in tech support at Stage Research suggested I ask all of you. ...
Well, You didn't really ask a question. snip ... snip ... snip in win2k, run "dxdiag.exe". under the sound tab, is every recognized and good. Are these WDM...
We're having problems with our SFX setup. We can't play cues out of sequence. In other words, if we want to start with cue 10, we get no sound output. If we...
I would recommend that you get the latest Direct X. I don't know if it affected SFX playback, but I do know Direct X 8 had some problems, and Microsoft came...
... Thanks, Richard. I'm the Designer on the Show, Matt is the House Engineer, so now that I have a chance, I'll respond to these questions. We're running a...
Well the first thing I would do would be to recommend that you have the latest drivers form Echo. Or actually I would recommend driver version 5.8 if you are...
... Opps, forgot something. No reason to add stop cues at all anymore, in most cases. For the short spot cues, unless the .wav files just have tons of dead...
Richard and Carlton: Many thanks for your help. Un-clicking the sync wave devices was indeed the primary problem. I also upgraded to DirectX 8.1. Richard,...
... Currently SFX is designed to play sound the "Microsoft way" - that is, all audio files are in stereo and need to be played into stereo devices. It's on...
Hi all, I'm just getting together a "dirt-cheap sound for dirt-cheap theatre" SFX system. So far it's: eMachines T1090, 900M Celeron, XP, 384M Ram, 20G HD,...
Jeremy (and all), There are a number of sound card drivers that do not clear out the buffer when you stop wave playback. You will notice this problem not only...
Carlton, Thanks for the quick response. I am already using 5.5b, and this is not my exact problem. It is good to know that this issue exists though. What is...
Hi all, I've confirmed that I've been hearing stair-stepping in the fades from SFX. It seems that the fades (at least in the top 25dB of SFX's mixer) are ...
... Could be noise from the DirectX engine fading out the effect. I doubt your putting strain on your system, it may be that as the volume changes, DirectX is...
Jeremy, Great look at the fade stuff. I'm interested in knowing what is the time between each step. I know DirectX has a volume range that should be in the...
Hmm. Well, the total duration of the sound is 15 seconds exactly. The thing is that it seems to be that the steps are dB based, and not time-based. The...
... So, where does it stand now? If you are running XP, does SFX still only output 16-bit audio until the next version? Or does SFX currently output 24-bits...
... Carlton: This answers one question I had, but I have another: I downloaded the 5.5b upgrade, but when I run it, while it claims to be installing, there is...
... Carlton earlier wrote: Yes. XP has the better audio mixing engine in it. DirectX 8.1 should work the same in all versions of Windows except that XP will...
... Please un-install SFX, then install with the new download. We're looking into a versioning change that may have to be done to the Installer. Carlton...
I've done some further testing on the fade problems. There is no change in output level when changing faders from 0 to -.75dB. There is then a .5dB change...
I just tried to get to the www.echoaudio.com site and it would not come up. Is anyone else able to get to this site? I am looking for an audio interface to...
Their site appears to have come back up. Head over and take a look at the card bus for your Laptop. It'll plug into a Layla break out box and give multiple...
February17: Jeremy I'm only able to offer anecdotal evidence concerning the zipper fade sound, but it is a problem I've been faced with in the past and have...

Again, purely anecdotal, and using only my ears as a guide: 1. SFX sounds *much* better on WinXP, particularly at low levels. 2. SFX does not step or pop at...
... Like I suspected, I couldn't hear the problems in the theatre over actors, HVAC, etc. It was just really disconcerting to be listening to the zipper noise...
