djay v5.5.1 - no controller
Waveform has fully drawn on both apps - but when I search by clicking different segments of the track, why does djay re-draw the waveform “segments” prior and after the clicked point? Waveform first appears blurred out, then the high resolution follows on either ends for a second. Is it re-analysing track for something at those segments? Was waveform not fully analysed at track import and drawn on loading to deck? Neural mix is not active. In this example, track was paused, but if track was playing, there are random instances when even the playhead fails to register clicks and misses to jump playback if clicked quickly. In some unpredictable scenarios this behaviour graduates to: cuepoint triggers failing to respond timely as djay is yet doing something in the background afew seconds after song load…especially in the heat of a rapid mix! Cue-drumming becomes impossible.
Meanwhile, serato just snaps the waveform on your face instantly, all the time, and doesn’t matter how soon you start cue-drumming, it always work
This “re-drawing” of waveform segment by segment in djay makes the app appear heavy and laggy, so rapid transport manipulations can not be done. Confidence in the app falls to zero even with just 1 misstep in a mix arising from these seemingly little bugs
