time clock in tracktion 1.6.0.1

[mrhairy]

I'm noticing that clock in tracktion is not in sync with the Windows clock. It seem as differnce changes over time too. Just out of curiosity,any one else notice this or could think why they are different?

I hadn't noticed. How different are we talking here?

Tracktion may well poll the system clock less frequently than windows to reduce unecessary CPU load, but that'd probably only account for a half a second or so at the top end.

Ok. I tested 3 times..

tracktion lags windows time by:
1)19 seconds
2)8 seconds
3)24 seconds

kinda weird it's not consistent.

weird.



I'd be more worried if it were the MIDI/Timing clock though.

I'm kinda suprised no one else has noticed this.
I tried on three different machines, all the same thing.

Maybe tracktion's clock occasionally shuts itself off to save CPU cycles.

I've seen this before and reported ages ago. It's been around since 1.2 at least. It's on the bug list but to be honest, I can't think of a lower priority bug as it really doesn't affect anything. Thanks for the reminder though.
