Title: David Foster-_Carol_Of_The_Bells_(Instrumental)
Post by: bigstott on August 03, 2014, 10:40:16 PM
Anyone have this marked up already? I tried using the vamp plugins but they are not even close! This is a pretty complex song so let me know if any of you do!

Look under the Songs directory in Xlights directory, you will find it marked up.  That directory is '09 - Carol Of The Bells (Instrumental)'.

Yeah none of those had he right timings I was looking for. I figured out how to do the timings myself and was surprised it only took me about 20 minutes to do it so now I have the timings exactly how I waned them.... it is much better now.

I agree how fast it was to do this on your own in Audacity and import into XL. I finished one for Chris Tomlin's "Joy to the World" and loved how it turned out.

maybe you could post your timing file (label export from Audacity here? I will include it in the songs directory with credit to you for marking it up. Manually marking up a song will always be better than the Queen Mary plugins can do.

Sean,
Here is my timing marks for Chris Tomlin's Joy to the World.  I included some of the Queen Mary timings as well. Also included the readme.txt file to follow your pattern.  Use it if you want.

FYI for that one... I edited the song in audacity. So sean in the readme notes put in that they need to take their song and remove .10 of a second of the beginning because of an error I made. It takes 10 seconds to do that in audacity.

Or if you all have the song send it to me and I will send back my edited one..... I have modified a few of them to fit better.

One thing, the david foster i downloaded from Amazon was called
09 - Carol Of The Bells (Instrumental).mp3

your label file was called
06- David Foster-_Carol_Of_The_Bells_(Instrumental).txt

I have renamed it to be
09 - Carol Of The Bells (Instrumental)_bigstott.txt and put it in the songs directory.
When I loaded the mp3 and opened your label file, timing marks were perfect without doing an edit of the beginning.

It looks right but its a little off. what I did to check it is loaded it into xlights and then selected one element used red and green bars alternating each change and you will see it is just a touch delayed.

The file name was edited because I label my songs in order for the season. Just makes it easier for me to identify.
