'pause' not working properly

Hi everyone,

Simply, I have two files x and y that I wish to play one after another, with a pause of around 5 seconds in between:

soundsc(x, SR) pause(5) soundsc(y, SR)

The files do play one after the other, but there is not a 5 second pause. It works fine when I set it to pause() instead of pause(n).

Seems a bit fussy, but any ideas?

Thanks

The sound and soundsc functions return immediately. Therefore you need a longer pause.

pause(5+length(x)/SR)

Excellent, thanks!
