It’s semi intermittent. %90 reproducible here. You have to have the lower zone focused and maybe do a bit maneuvering or locating within ARA2/Spectralayers.
Would you be able to record a video of it ? (possibly indicating at which timings you pressed the spacebar)
For tricky issues like this one (which I might not be able to easily repro), micro details in a video can be revealing.
thanks !
Hey Robin, I PM’d you. Thanks for responding, this is very very cool software and I’m very excited to use it on some projects coming up in which this software is perfect for. I will be using the standalone, FYI, just tested, this problem is not happening in the standalone.
I don’t know when’s the next patch for Cubase, but it should not be too long before the first patch for SL is released. Sorry I can’t be more precise at this point - stay tuned
I also am experiencing this issue, and frankly I agree with PleaseDontBanMe, it makes the software almost unusable. The only way I can get playback to stop is to change focus back to Cubase and hit space or click the stop on the Cubase transport. You wouldn’t think this would be a big deal, but my muscle memory is programmed to automatically hit spacebar to stop, and it is very disorienting/irritating to have it jump back to start position and replay repeatedly (because my stupid finger is repeatedly hitting the spacebar to make it stop).
Update…If I position the mouse pointer where I want playback to start and left click while holding the Ctrl key, playback starts until I release the mouse, and then it stops…mo betta! The transport issue is still a major deal for trying to hear stuff in context with other tracks, but at least I can now start actually trying to experiment with the software without, you know, wanting to kill myself.
Just saw your post PleaseDontBanMe (hereafter referred to as PDBM). You’re right, that fixes the issue (sort of). Still needs to be fixed though (looping is kind of a big deal), but now I’m happier! Looking forward to mangling my audio in new and interesting ways!
For the sake of clarity, ctrl+click is equivalent to using the playback tool in SL : it plays local (SL) content. So it plays the layers you’ve imported, and it plays the spectral selection if there’s a spectral selection active. If you set SL to loop, it will loop SL selection range.
Notice than when using local playback, only SL playhead moves, not Cubase’s. It’s quite similar to Melodyne in that instance.
This is different from host playback, where the host (Cubase) controls playback, and plays all the regions, not just SL’s, and without taking into account SL selection/loop range.
