No sound in Community Projects

[lazymau5]

Hello, I am new in LMMS environment.

I am using the latest version of LMMS in mac os x.

I try to download and open this CLOUDS project from

Code: Select all

https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=show&file=7803

https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=show&file=7803
complete with its sample files. I put the samples into CLOUDS folder inside the

Code: Select all

/users/me/lmms/samples

directory. I have tried to put the mmpz file in my downloads folder, inside the samples folder, or inside the

Code: Select all

/users/me/lmms/samples

directory, and even in the

Code: Select all

/users/me/lmms/projects

directory, but as I open the project file, it shows all entities properly, but as I clicked 'play' in the Song Editor tab, the timeline moves, the channels blink, but there is no sound produced.

I have also checked my Sound output, I use SDL by default. I also tried to open the demo projects provided by default by LMMS installation, and there is sound in them.

What should I do to solve this? Thanks.

Hi, Welcome to the forum lazymau5! Here are all our important links:
http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
And a few rules for Avatars, signatures, posting and using the right sub-forum :)

My gues is that the project you downloaded has a global-automation of the sound.
Right-click on the master-volume,
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=To ... h_Controls
and in context-menu, select 'Remove global-automation

Let us know if it worked

Thank you for replying, musikbear

I have done the 'Remove global automation' but still no progress are made. The sound is just none. My guess is that the piano roll notes may be are not linked to the samples??

May you please download the project too to see how to figure this out? I believe there is nothing wrong with the project, but may be just need some additional configuration.

Thanks.

I will take a look later

Thats because the uploader has used a lot of different sound-files, that you do not have. The notes are in the project, but he uses AFP
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=AudioFileProcessor
to play a lot of different wave and aif files. Some of those you may have, some you may not
All these could not be found

What you can do is to look for the ones listed in each of the AFPs path infos, and then reload your own, or you can read the file-names, and then simply replace the AFPS with ordinary instruments. That way you will make the project more of your own, but as the project is right now, it wont play back.

Aaaaaand on TOP of those 'tiny' issues, theres something else acting up.. That i will have to work more with, im afraid :/

fixed

I think the something else is the routing through the FX mixer. Almost everything is routed through FX1 which is linked to a Peak Controller on the Track 2 (GvrKick18.wav sample track). Presumably without that sample running nothing happens at all.

Certainly if you remove the controller link (or just delete FX1) then sound appears again .
