Adam, to make a fix like this, you wouldn't want to use the scene since, as you know, you would have to move all of the individual events on the time line over as well. But you also wouldn't want (and probably can't) move the items over in the module view either. If you look at how alot of shows are made in showtime, they basically tie an entire song to one segment under the show view. Then under module, that entire song is broken up into modules. So you can go to a particular module and see all the events on the timeline by selecting the module and opening the scene view. Take the freebie show Money&Us for example. Since it is two songs, you will notice that there are two shows listed on the timeline when you open the show file. You can highlight either show and select module, you can see that the first "show" is broken up into 7 modules, you can then select any module and then select scene to see whats happening on the timeline. So, back to the start of this conversation, lets say that the beat of the music is behind whats being displayed by the projector. What would need to happen is a delay would need to be added in showtime, obviously, moving anything on the scene timeline would require moving everything individually to match up which would take hours. You can narrow it down by moving just the individual modules on the timeline, but then again, you have 7 modules for the first song and 11 modules for the second, so each one of those would need to be moved to the right on the timeline. Or you can just go to the "show" and move the 2 show segments to the right until it matches up properly.I've got Cool Edit Pro as well, and I love it! But I still think that the easy fix is to use Showtime to make the scene fit the audio. (You may not have room on the timeline in the scene view, but if you switch to the next one up - module, I think it's called - you can drag that one around to get more time; it will move the entire show as a whole.)
Next issue, what to do when the beat of the music is ahead of laser projector, since most shows on the timeline start at zero, you can't move them anymore to the left on the timeline. So the easiest fix is to just use a program to add a delay (1 or 2 seconds), the idea is to overshoot it a little bit, then you can use the show selection and fine tune it by moving the show to the right a little bit. Does any of this make since or am I just going crazy, been a long day! Its so much easier to show it than to type about it!
