Thank you!
I have did a quick test, works fine on Xone 96.
Just noted that, stop time not working as normal vinyl stops, even if I have set stop time to 5 mili sec, plate stop immediately if I hit the stop button on my turntable.

I’m away from my main system today, but I’ll update to check out the new headroom setting within 24h…
Impressive: less than a month from request to release.

Is there any document on how Serato Crates import works, for some reason my crates on external drive does not show up.

What does the 24 DB Headroom thing actually mean?

A post was split to a new topic: REV 5 Freezing Issue

This is simply another headroom level setting on top of the existing headroom levels in djay. Basically this is used to reduce the master audio output level to avoid clipping of the audio signal.

Hello dear friends!

I’m very happy to test this version more, I’ve already answered the other topic, let’s go.

1 - Excellent evolution in pitch, I noticed that the graph is moving faster along with the pitch.
2 - Please give me a way to activate the Volume Vu and Loop on my Kontrol Z2 mixer, it adjusted a mapping in which I can now play but I would appreciate it if the team could help me.
3 - Suggestion, I was unable to set the Adjustment % in the pitch for mixing on the turntables, in relative mode it is 8% analog.
4 - enable more decimal places in the BPM display, so more conservative DJs can be sure
beat adjustment x bpm.

In the rest, congratulations on the evolution, I can’t wait to be a subscriber to this program, I believe I have added some testers, if I can run my kontrol z2 with everything 100% I will be with you.

Thank you for the moment.

djay 5.2.1 for Mac OS - High CPU and the dreaded Spinning Beach ball Bugs.

There is a HIGH CPU bug in this release on Mac M1 Max with Monterey 12.7.5
16inch, 2021
32 GB RAM

CPU is constantly at 89% and now and then over 107%

BEACH BALL Bug:

  1. Enable the Tools icon and display the Two Decks with Jog and the Cues panel.
  2. Play a track with (colourful) cues set
  3. double-click to load the second deck.
    You will get the classic awful Apple spinning beach ball on a 32GB M1 Max laptop. Unreal.
    The CPU will sit at 91%.
  4. Click on any Cue to jump to it and you will also get the lassic awful Apple spinning beach ball.

Regards
Max

closes laptop and runs home to try the external HD files/folders

If you can see your serato crates/files from an external HD then oh my lord…

EDIT: will the capability to read/see files from Ext HD and serato crates ever be feasible/on the dev roadmap to be seen whilst using DJ on iOS? I’d absolutely love to be able to use my iPad Pro and see my serato crates and files via external HD. Super compact DJ system! Please make it happen… :slight_smile:
