It will be RF interference from your monitor, and or possible internal between components in the X1K

It gets worse when you interconnect devices, earth loops pick any interference and "amplify" it.

If I connect my SAM and X1K audio via my mixing desk I get very bad interference, which goes when I turn my SAM's older monitor off. It's worst when the X1K is connected, but present if either is connected.

Tracing out these kind of things can be real headache, unless it's really really bad ignore it, it will get lost in the mix....

If it's caused by earth loops then moving the audio cable about should change the level of interference. An option is to disconnect the shielding at on end of the audio cable, this can eliminate the loop. (traditional Midi cables are always wired this way as their two cable IN OUT design always creates loops) You only try this with signal cables NEVER with power cables (stating the obvious for safety sake).

Thanks, glad you liked the video, hope the blogs description of the editing process was also of interest, wish I'd taken more screen shots as I went to illuminate it more....

Here's my latest blog, talking about creating a more complex video starting on Linux (for practival reasons X1000 is not portable enough) but then transferring to AmigaOS 4 using Blender Audio Evolution to do the main editing work.



Hope you find it interesting and enjoy the video too...

Haha, that's very kind!

@mbrantley

Thanks Mike!

Is it really "structured well".

To be structured well each section of the CD file should start with a dedicated offset and then you can add new strings to the end of the relavent section.

eg

;Windos strings
MSG_WINDOW_TITLE (100//)
...
...
...
;Menu strings
MSG_MENU_PROJECT (500//)
...
...
...

etc etc.

I've been asked to look at this, I can confirm that the lockup occurs when draging an MUI element after a couple of ticks of the clock.

It only occirs when compositing effects are of *off* on the screen. It also doers not occur with the X-Dock Cloak.dockapp (which uses the same underlying gadget).

Thor makes reference to "global screen locking" as there is no such thing I guess he means one of

LockIBase
LockScreen
LockScreenGI
LockLayers

but Clock calls none of these.

Whilst I have registered at the MUIDev site there is a delay authorising my account so can't post this there, if you could ask him for clarification on the above that would be very helpful.

Have now added a workarround for this "junk" in TuneNet 2.10

It would appear that there is some leading junk on the xml response that didn't used to be there, which can be seen when grabing the xml data via ARexx

eg

Not sure what is going on here, I just accessed the top 500 endpoint in a browser using the Tunenet API key and got a valid response, ie xml with the expected (or as best as I can tell anyway ) data.

There must be some subtle change in the xml that's messing up tunenets parseing of it.

@Joeled

Thanks!

@khayoz

Hmm not sure, how that would work. Couldn't test that if I did try to create it, not sure that my printer supports that language

@walkero

You're welcome

Here's direct link to the video part in case that makes it easier for any with actuall amigas

Looks it was indeed cached CSS, a refresh sorted it out. Cached CSS and JS is a right PITA when trying to fix live website isn't it!

Having a bit of enforced time on my hands I have been implmenting some improvements to SketchBlock that I've been planning for quite a while, the layers window now has a path list section, and uses tabs to keep the GUI more compact. See more about here on my blog with accompanying video:

Nor here, SGrab and X-Dock respond to the RAmiga-H combo only when their windows are active.

There nearest I can get is when SGrab becomesa ctive after hiding X-Dock or vice verca then if I hold Ramiga and click H twice both will close, so a keyboard bounce *might* cause this issue in certain circumstances.

X-Dock 1.x auto activated the window this might also cause focus issues, X-Dock 2 (for which I take the blame ) never does this.

X-Dock 2 has a commodity active to handle mouse overs of the icons, but does not have a hotkey set, so there should not be any issues in case the user had manually programmed hotkeys that clashed.

@daveyw
Well the most obvious difference between the command that works and the one that doesn't is the commas..

@daveyw

Try putting single quotes round the whole string



This is needed as Rexx will merge all those string inot the c9ommand and drop the double quotes in dong so, but ArtEffect will need them to parse the command.
