AirPlay Offset button - MISSING?

[GovindSidhu]

Hello guys.

I'm returning to using iReal after a couple of years of being away from music, and have noticed that there is no longer the option to offset the song audio so that the player position indicator syncs up with the music when using AirPlay and other streaming protocols.

This feature used to work perfectly for me and allowed me to play iReal backing tracks through my WiFi speakers while reading along with the chord charts with no delay whatsoever.

Can anybody confirm whether or not this has been removed, and if so if there are any alternative ways to create perfect sync when using wireless speakers?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi there,

I'm returning to iReal after a couple of years away from music (thank the lord!).

I was wondering if anybody knows what's happened to the AirPlay Offset button that used to be present in the Audio tab of Preferences?

It was a lifesaver which allowed me to see the Player Position Indicator in sync with the music which I normally stream to a wireless speaker in my room.

Has this actually been removed, and if so - why? and are there any alternatives for syncing up iReal visual and audio elements?

Please help! Thank you muchly in advanced

There may be a latency if you are going from one device through another. Are you able to try direct from Mac to an Airplay device?

The Airplay Offset button is still missing from preferences..
https://technimo.helpshift.com/hc/en/3-ireal-pro/faq/45-airplay-with-mac/

This page refers both to Mac OS X 10.7 and below (mentioning the Offset button), and Mac OS X 10.8 and above which does not need one.

Please contact us at support (Mac version, from the Help > Help and Support).
You have problems with latency? What Mac do you have, which Mac OSX version does it run on? What version of iReal Pro do you have?
