Steps to reproduce:
1. Download this file:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/l4igsg3 ... r.gz/file

2. Extract the contents

3. Open the .rad file in radium.

4. Click on the bottom bar (To the right of "Sign [4/4]")

5. Observe the silence.

Additionally, if you'd like, you may use this song as a demo song for Radium (in order to showcase a simple song utilizing swing, nice drums (via Fluidsynth), and volume text).

I found the problem. The mute button on the main track was pressed, but I was not able to see that it was pressed because the color for the track is green. I would personally recommend that the default green for tracks is a little darker, so you can see when the mute button is pressed.

Hi there,

The reason for the silence seems to be that the main seqtrack is muted. :-)
But it's not easy to see. The default green of the main seqtrack is very similar to the color of the mute button, so it's very hard to see when it's muted. I obviously need to fix this.

I agree it would be a good demo song. I'll look at it more later.

Awesome,

I made some changes to the song, including renaming it, adding a comment, and changing the tempo to be a bit slower (108 instead of 120).

Here's the updated version:

EDIT: Fixed bbcode
EDIT: Added heading

Hi, I'll postpone including the song in the program until next release. We need to figure out a way to strip out unused samples from the song since it's too big (600MB!). I have stripped sf2-files before, but I don't remember how right now.

Ok, I got the sound font stripped down from 142MiB to 18 MiB. Here's the new link:

If I need to strip it further, let me know.

Thanks! There'll probably be a new release today.

It's still very big. I think I"ll do it like this:
1. Remove the default fluidsynth instrument from Radium (the one with the classical instruments)
2. Use the drumset from from your song as the default fluidsynth instryment, and rename it fluid-soundfont-drumset-gm or something like that.
3. Change your song to use the default drumset.
