Hi,
I am trying to use audio groups playing in 'Looped Chain' mode to create a background music track. I have a group for breakbeats (drums) with several audio clips, each of which is a perfect 2-second loop. The goal is to chain them together in random order to create something that doesn't sound like a loop.
However, in 'Endless' loop mode, there is a brief gap between each clip. It's very short, but it's there and ruins the rhythm.
The gap is also not consistent. When I enable 'Log Sounds' and look at the timestamps, there is a lot of jitter. Eg, here are some differences between successive timestamps:
2.043964
2.0559
2.03982
2.05998
... they should all be *exactly* 2 seconds. I'm not sure if this is jitter in the logging, or the actual play time, but I can hear variations in the gap.
Maybe it's something to do with my settings?
- I'm using Unity 5.2.2f1
- I have 'Gapless Music Switching' enabled (in the Advanced Settings of the main MasterAudio manager).
- My audio files are 48kHz .wav files with 'Preload Audio Data' checked.
- I've tried 'Decompress On Load' and 'Compressed In Memory', and I've tried both PCM and Vorbis for compression.
- If I preview the audio file with the standard Unity asset preview, the looping sounds okay (no gaps).
- This happens even if I remove all but one audio clip from the group.
- Happens for both 'Variation Sequence' modes: 'Top To Bottom' and 'Randomized'
Anyone have ideas for how to fix this?
Thanks,
Mike
