Preciously control silence:// time?

Hey, I'm trying to write a simple song using tone:// url playlist

For example,
Code: [Select]
tone://329,0.5
silence://0.001
tone://329,0.5
silence://0.001
tone://349,0.5
silence://0.001
tone://392,0.5
silence://0.001
tone://392,0.5
silence://0.001
tone://349,0.5
silence://0.001
tone://329,0.5
silence://0.001
tone://293,0.5
.........


I use silence:// here to make 2 same tones (such as tone://392,0.5) not like one tone.
However, it seems that the time of silence:// is inaccurate, about 0.x sec....
I already have all DSP disabled. 

Is it possible to control the time preciously?

Odd but fun usage such as this may expose small quirks or bugs which may have repercussions for common usage.

Also: fun.

fb2k 1.0 beta 5.

I can't find a way to record sound fb2k playing in Windows 7.
'silence://' can't be convert to audio formats. (it says not support audio format or something)

However, I found a workaround, that is to replace 'silence://x' with 'tone://15,x' since human can't hear 15Hz sound, then the time seems to be precious, totally under control. 

Seems problem in 'silence://' ...

So, I think it is a bug in 'silence://' implement, isn't it?

No, it's not a bug. When you use the converter to merge the input tracks into a single file, you have to make sure that all the tracks produce the same audio data format (sampling rate, number of channels). The crux is that tone:// produces a mono signal, whereas silence:// produces a stereo signal. If you want to merge them, you have to enable the "Convert mono to stereo" or the "Downmix channels to mono" DSP on the converter's "Processing" tab.

Thanks for your reply.
When I enable 'mono to stereo' DSP, everything works smoothly!

It turns out that switching between mono and stereo takes time, which is not counted in %length%. So I was experiencing 'inaccurate' time at the beginning.
