Audio Player using Backing Tracks
Hey everyone, I don't know if I'm the only one who uses MSpro for multiple backing tracks, but it's really handy. I used to use a looper for this, but it's much easier to work with MSpro's built-in audio player because you can use the right tracks for each song you open, and you only need the looper for looping, not for playing backing tracks.
I've created short, simple drum loops for each of my songs at the right tempo (bps) and style (rock, pop, blues, etc.) and play them back as MP3s or WAV files using MSpro's built-in audio player. Even though you can't add fills, it works perfectly. You can also play in short sequences like riffs or samples, which really enhances the performance. I control the tracks with footswitches using an iRig BlueTurn (2 switches) or an AirTurn Quad 500 (4 switches). I had some latency issues at first, but I've mostly resolved them. I connect the tablet (Android) directly to the mixer via the headphone output, resulting in only one Bluetooth connection from the tablet to the iRig or AirTurn and very low latency. The second switch allows you to control the metronome and optionally create a simple beat with kick and hi-hat. With the four switches, you can even integrate entire sections like verse or chorus as guitar accompaniment in MP3 or WAV format, allowing you to play solos over them. This significantly enhances the overall experience.
Now I'm trying to work with multiple tracks like intro, verse, chorus 1, chorus 2, etc. However, I've noticed that short gaps occur when switching tracks because the app needs time to load each one. This unfortunately renders my idea unusable.
Mike from Zubersoft suggests setting the crossfade duration to zero. However, he's hesitant to program this because he's unsure if it might introduce other problems. He thinks I'm probably the only one who needs this option and that I should ask in the forum if more people are having the same problem. I think then he might give it a try.
So my question is: Has anyone here in the forum tried this before, or does anyone know of another solution to the problem? Thanks in advance and best regards to all MSpro fans!
