Hi Michael, Just making about the terminology here: "Weight" is not the same as "Weight balance"
Resetting the "Weight balance" will not affect the "Weight" at all. Also, the reset does not set the "Weight balance" to zero. It actually applies the "Weight" once along with a smaller random balance number - making the songs instantly relatively weight balanced against each other and slightly random (so categories do not just play top to bottom) Louis Louw CTO - Spacial Audio Solutions, LLC http://www.spacialaudio.com http://www.spacialnet.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Hughes Sent: 06 January 2009 04:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [General-discussion] Weights The thing to remember is that SAM will reset ALL the songs to that 'seamless' weight. If you have songs in different categories with different weight ranges .. I suggest NOt resetting the weight balance. I did it and had to reset the weights BACK to the original category level. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louis Louw" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 7:43 AM Subject: RE: [General-discussion] Weights > Hi, > > Every song has a "weight".
