The new Neural Mix multi-track waveforms feature is very nice! I wouldn’t have thought that I needed it, but once it’s there, I really like it. However, every time I restart the program, the multi-track waveforms do not stay enabled by default. I have to manually turn them on each time, which is inconvenient. I think this needs a fix.

Talking about stems and Neural Mix, I noticed that after playing a song from Apple Music (streaming service), all effects on that channel that were previously assigned to one of the stems (e.g., vocal) are assigned to the whole track again after playing from Apple Music. Additionally, the Neural Mix multi-track waveforms are also reset after playing from Apple Music. I know this behavior has to do with licensing terms, but I would expect a fallback to the Neural settings when a local track is loaded again.
Hope this makes sense and is something that can be made better.
Also, I noted that the settings of all the effects assigned (e.g., the length of the ‘Vinyl Break’ effect or the length of a reverb) are unfortunately not being saved after you restart the program. They all go back to their default setting.
I don’t know if it is since the new version, but I think it’s better to also have these effect-settings consistent even when you fire up the software the next day. This would provide a better user experience, and it’s also more in line with the behavior of effects in other DJ programs.
In order not to lose sight of this bug (it closes within a month), I would still like to know which of the four points the development team is referring to.
When I know this, I can make a change request for that.
As a new sidenote about constant reset of the effects settings, I wanted to mention that the built-in instant effects are much more convenient for DJs because they come with pre-stored parameters and dry/wet settings, so there’s no need to save them.
On the other hand, this can also be a downside because sometimes you might want to tweak those instant effects, and as far as I know, that’s not possible.
