EoF Error 47

[Hornet871]

Hey all,

 

I'm trying to restart a custom track that I had recently lost, and as I'm attempting to add the leading silence, I get a cascade of rapidly opening/closing command prompts, followed by an error which reads "Could not add leading silence (error 47)"

Would anyone happen to know the cause for this, or possibly a fix for it? The help would be greatly appreciated :)

Did you check the specified log file to see if it revealed anything?

The logging that is made regarding that error is broken, it should be working with the next hotfix.

I never use the leading silence tool in EOF, just do it in Audacity, much simpler, no real reason not to I find.

EOF will generally give the same result, but if you already created the chart and then want to add leading silence, it's a little tougher to do this in Audacity because you then have to re-sync the first beat marker in EOF. It may be necessary to add the silence outside of EOF if there is some kind of special reason EOF can't do it. The easiest way to go is to keep track of how many milliseconds of audio you add in Audacity, then re-open the EOF project and then add that number of milliseconds to the Delay value that is shown in Song>Properties and click Yes when EOF asks whether to adjust the notes to the new offset.

I'll keep all that in mind. I'll probably add the silence in audacity for any new projects. Thanks everyone!

If you try it in the latest EOF hotfix, it should create a log file if any error messages are created by oggenc (the utility that encodes the OGG file).
