My samples are already mostly less that a minute in length. The problem is
that they trigger early, at least according to a TC window dub tape I made for
testing purposes. After 30 minutes, they are triggering about 2 seconds before
the TC where the sample is entered in the CueList.
However, the results of my experiment in slowing my system down, and having the
sound return to the speed at which it was recorded, makes me believe there is
something to what you say about the SCSCI controller. There is a difference
between what GVP says the DMA Mask setting MUST be set at, and what Sunrize
recommends, although I have actually tried that with both settings and it
doesn't make any difference. Even when I slowed the system down, I had the
same timing error.
The discouraging news is that I have been e-mailing back and forth with one of
SunRize's beta testers who has been having the same problem. He has similar
equipment to mine (i.e. same computer, GVP card, etc.) but he has both the 1012
and 516 cards. I have only the 1012. I am going to send my most recent
findings to Tech support at Sunrize and see what they make of it. I am waiting
for their SMPTE output module, hoping that would solve the problem, but this
beta tester is using the module, and he is still having the same problem. The
really odd thing is that most users of the boards and software aren't
experiencing this difficulty. If I could only lay my finger on the area in the
setup that is causing the problem, I could probably find a fix to it. I may go
back to ver 2.0 to test it there, and complete this project … but after using
3.0, it is a real PITA to go back.
