Hi there, I have a couple of issues and a question
I have successfully now used DJ pro live at three gigs. However, on the first gig one track was playing around 128 bpm. I loaded another tracking that was again 128 bpm. Sink and quantise was selected. But all of a sudden, the track That was already playing started speeding up on its own and went up to about 160 bpm before I had to start the second track to avoid embarrassment. This also happened on the third gig I did. However, this time the track Rose 2 140 BPM and then stopped at that speed, in other words he didn’t get any higher.
The second problem I have is this song not starting instantly from the play Head when I hit play. I can manually set the queue point and it’s still sometimes just starts from where it wants to , not where I want it to start from. However, if I press the queue it starts exactly from this point then the press I have to play press the play button button to let the track continue as normal.
I use Apple iTunes as my song library, all songs are on the local disc not on the Internet, yet I cannot get the history working. I’ve dealt into the manual I know where the history should be, but it is just not there?
My last issue is, is there any news , on full compatibility with the FLX 10 yet?
Apologies that some of the wording and the grammar above is not quite correct as I am having to dictate this message. Please assume every single version number is accurate and up-to-date as of today as indeed this is the case.
Controller used DDJ SRT 1000
MacBook Pro 16 inch last of the Intel I9 Processes, 16 gig Ram and 2 TB SSD
OS used Sonoma 14.1.2
DJ Pro latest 5.1.1
I have both an M1 and M2 MacBook Pro 16 but I have not used them yet as I’m not so keen for getting a drink spilled on them!
Hope that all makes sense. And once again apologies for the grammar errors
I know the first issue. What I see is that, if you let the first track run out, it occasionally does not stop as it should. If the next track increases BPM like that, stopping the previous track by pressing start/pause, BPM normalizes. This is an old bug that does not happen often, but reported and still not solved …
My second question: I found a similar thread it says “ solved” but it never was as someone hijacked the thread with a different question, so the original question was never answered
Not to create another topic - I would like to add on the bug of randomly speeding up. I will describe it as best as I can.
Sometimes in the track auther addes an extra bar or half bar of pause after end of phrase and then it continues to play normaly, so to even out the grid I set an anchor at the beginning of a new phrase as a downbeat. So what system appears to be doing is temporarly set the BPM to a different value before setting it back to original after the anchor. If I have another song already playing looped and SYNC is on - occasionally it’s BPM will be shifter WAY up/down, like 2 times the original or more. If you don’t notice this immeadiately it can lead to an epic fail
Hi @Akrilovy, can you please try to capture a video of this, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here? Thanks!
Can you please try to capture a video of the first issue quoted below, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here?
The second issue quoted below sounds like is could be a Quantize Setting issue. Can you please confirm what value you have it set to? Try either setting it to a lower value or turning it OFF completely. If this doesn’t solve the issue, can you please try to capture and share a video of this as well?
Hi again @Akrilovy, can you please provide specific details about your setup not just “iPad” or “Latest Version”? Thanks!
Device Model (ex. 2020 iPad Air 4th Gen): Version of operating system (ex. iOS 17.3.1): Version of djay (ex. 5.1.3): Hardware/controllers used (ex. Reloop Ready):
Not to create another topic, I’ll put it here. I coudn’t capture this on video, since this happened during live gig yesterday night, but I got a part of it on record.
The issue happens when you are playing with sycn on. I assume it has something to do with the resource management (RAM?) since my laptop only has 8gigs and I’m also using stem equalizer instead of frequences. It happens more often, if I forget to close my chrome with 15 tabs open, but normaly before even opening djay app I close everything unrealted, disable wi-fi, sometimes even reboot mac ( I did that before the gig.) my specs are 2 messages above.
When 2 songs are playing with the sync on - music starts to slow down and even hang up a little. It slows to the point of almost stopping, then releases a little and keeps doing the same thing even after song restart. Stops this behaviour if you restart the app. Immediate workaround - disable sync. Since I encountered that before - when I realize what’s happening I turn the sync off and just finish my gig without it. But, that shoudn’t happen, right? Maybe someone can give me easier workaround for now? thanks.
Here’s the dropbox link. You can hear, when the song transition starts, for some secongs music starts to hang up, then I swithed off sync and it improves.
Hi @Akrilovy, thanks for the additional info. Please follow the process below to reset the iCloud state:
Quit djay.
Make sure you have a backup of your djay Media Library.djayMediaLibrary file on an external drive or in the cloud.
If you have previously disabled iCloud for djay Pro in System settings, please make sure it is re-enabled for djay Pro.
Open the app Terminal.app
Run this command: defaults write com.algoriddim.djay-iphone-free CMCResetCloudKitState -bool true
Launch djay
This will reset the cloudkit state and should clear up the performance issue related to iCloud. Please retest and let me know if this has helped at all. Thanks!
So far so good. I’m amazed, before it took around 10 seconds just for the application startup, now it loads up in around two seconds. What’s the logic behind this fix? Do i need to do that often as a safety measure?
