Tempo change - minimizing the 'skip' #2
If you're in the middle of playing a song and you decide to
adjust the tempo, the music "skips". Is there any way to allow
seamlessly changing tempo "on the fly"? Perhaps this can be done
by sending a series of small tempo adjustments to the Media
Player, instead of one big massive adjustment?
This is a problem with the 'Windows Media Player'.
Try using the Winamp player instead. Download and
install Winamp 2.x and also the Chronotron II plug-in.
Voila! The problem is fixed.
As of CSDS 1.15.00, another music player has been added to
CSDS, the 'API Player'. This player uses low-level Windows
API messages to control audio output. The skip still exists,
but isn't quite so noticable.
