Glitches

Hey Anybody!

Whenever I load a song and play it for the first time, it seems to have some "glitches" in it, like it cuts in and out or something. Then, when I stop the song, go back to the beginning and play it again, it works fine.

Has anybody else experienced this?

Thank you.

Bill

 

Yep. One of the many reasons I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Garrian's General Midi Library (GEM). I don't think it will include a file player like the one in Bandstand so it may not be an exact replacement for those who need that feature.

 

It sounds like playback is starting before all the samples are loaded into BS. Make sure you are using the Quickload preset found in this forum. Also, you may need to add an extra measure or so to the beginning of your MIDI file to allow time for BS to load all the patches.

The reason it plays correctly the second time is that all the patches have been loaded during your first attempt.
