Turings Natural Delay

PHP God · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2003 11:01 pm

code:

process music
Music.PlayFile ("song1.mp3")
loop
Music.PlayFile ("song2.mp3")
end loop
end music

fork music

Why is there a giant gaping hole between each time my soundfile is played?

my guess would be that turing is loading the file somewhere or other.

try looping a shorter file with lower sound quality, and see if that reduces the delay.

i test the flowing code to see if it had anything to do with the loop or fork:

code:

Music.PlayFile ("C:\\MYSHAR~1\\NEG_TH~1.mp3")
Music.PlayFile ("C:\\MYSHAR~1\\DOT_HACK.mp3")

and i found that there was a dealy of less then 6 seconds.

may be it has somting to do with the fork, i have had troble with forks and playing files in turing b4.

The files are about 5 seconds long, and MP3 is as low as I go.

As well, if turing were loading it, wouldn't it be stored in memory after playing once?

I'm wondering if this can be done in C++ easier, if it is, it makes it more worth learning.

well basick C++ dose not have a comand to play mp3s built in to it. so you whould need to find a libraey file for that or make your own decoder Shocked

.

but it whould probyl be faster

what about any kind of sound file?

to my knogale standered C/C++ dose not come with an libreay to play sound files but i know there are ones out there.

Are you dyslexic man, I can't understand a word you say. Someone oughtta code a translator.

jeez, it's just Dan speak...

maybe it's a good idea to learn it so you could understand what he is talking about? Dan actually gives out good ideas once in a while.

and if you seriously can't understand him (well, sucks for you) than here is a translated version:

if u want to do music in c++ u might want to look into DirectSound or DirectMusic
