Good grief you guys are making it VERY hard to stick with Serato! I’m officially trying Djay on some gigs. The team is on absolute fire! Thanks for all of the updates, especially on the Rane Four!
I have waited for as each updates, but still DVS issue not fixed, and now worst than before. NOW unusable!
• stop time 2sec, but stop immediately, • DVS not precise as should be highly expected! • from sorting, comments filter disappeared from iOS (I have worked on 5k song commenting now is not available)
I have to ask: Does it always do that? I have just spend two weeks of manually re-beatgridding and readjusting my whole collection because flexible grids and DnB don’t play well together. I really do not want Djay to mess it up again
I don’t think so.
I think you can ask it analyse a track manually - or it analyses on the fly if you try to load a track that hasn’t been analysed yet (or from Apple Music, for example). But if a track has already been analysed, then I don’t think it analyses it again when you load the track into a deck. Maybe @NathanielAlgo can confirm this?
Maybe the new Beat Detection algorithm does a better job with DnB in the new update? Might be worth testing it on one of your troublesome tracks? The release notes do specify “Improved overall track BPM” - isn’t that what people complain about with Djay and DnB?
Made a backup of my media library, metadata and djay 5.2.1 app and gave 5.2.2 a go. It does not automatically reanalyze, so my gridding work is safe
As far as DnB goes - it’s not better, no. It’s still way off when using the default dynamic beat grid. Constant grid is fine (there should be an option to make it default imo).
Unfortunately, DJay does not seem to understand DnB song structure (like, you know, a lot of humans ), which often starts with an intro with little or no rhythmic elements, main part, break with little or no rhythmic elements, second main part etc. While a bit formulaic, this seems to be the choice of many producers recently, and Djay doesn’t like the rhythm-less parts one bit. I just gave it another try with the Pola & Bryson Remix of Moby’s Porcelain, and 5.2.2 (as 5.2x before it) is off by a massive 48 beats (12 measures) at the point where the main part starts at 1:30ish minutes. (Djay’s dynamic grid detection thinks that the song bpm varies between 129 and 181 bpm, when it is in fact straight 176)
Such problem songs as the one you mentioned are those that i set bpm to “Contant”.
Thank goodness it remembers the setting when you next load the same song again! I think in one of those earlier versions it didn’t.
I agree there should be a global setting to turn off altogether in case your library is full of dnb or problem tracks.
Part of what i do while setting my cues is looking problem tracks (because the bmp immediately changes as you click your cue point region and then u know is a problem. I then ser it to contamt bpm (or remember to never use sync on that song)
Thank you for the filter knob and browser knob fix!!
Sadly Instant FX on RANE FOUR doenst work yet.
You might have the names on the screen but the functions itself double as other functions as well.
When I assign a pad mode to a button,
then is shows empty.
Then i assign the pad buttons under the mode to do “Instant FX 1”, 2 and so on.
And then when im in any other pad mode, it also activates the echo fx. when i press the hot cue it also activates the corrosponding Inst. FX.
My solution to the griddng being off for some tracks is to use a separate app or device that has ableton LINK and just make it the first device connected to the network you are using and then adding djay. Then you sent the b on the first device, sync djay to that and you are good to.
Sorry for peeps that don’t use sync but I’ve been asking for 30 years so about years ago I decided I’ve earned it, especially when doing 4 tracks on any setup that doesn’t actually have 4 physical decks to use.
Ok… just some feedback! Guys we are SO CLOSE to pulling me from Serato! Can we please get echo out on all stems via a handy check box in the options? Just make it as easy as ‘FX on Stem Disable’ or something like that. And also, the delay when disabling stems is rough. Can we please make this instant? And if I’m asking I may as well ask for Soft Takeover like in Serato. So if you’re using Sync (like I do when doing big speed transitions!) let me hold shift so I can reposition the pitch fader without affecting the speed. That’s it!!! : )))))
Hi @Scott1, thanks for the feedback. Please do a search for these suggestions and add your comments and vote for them there. If you don’t find any existing suggestions, please then create new ones for each so that I can pass them onto the dev team and other users can upvote them and we can track user demand. Thanks!
