I've got a big problem with the Gain Analyses. I disabled the Gain Analyses, Started with a new Peak Folder and New Collection. Analysed just over 28,000 tracks, took 3 days. All gains where at 0db, after analyse, great I thought.

Closed Cross down, re-opened it a few hours later and all the track gains db's are all over the place (-2.5 to 10+) It happens with 1 track or a folder full of tracks. CrossDJ is doing the same too. I've sent a Vid off to the Dev team showing my problem.

So for me it's not working how it should So I'm reverted back to Cross 1.5.5.

saw that thread that why i am sitting on down loading ver 1.6, followed the rc fourm and watched, suprised that they released the final this soon thank you

Additionally to what Jim said I can add that there is a new file format for the collection. Former (RC2 and beta versions) version used *.db for the collection, the current official release uses *.crossdb and for that case that the migration runs wrong you should backup your existing collection.

As a hint: You can rename your *.db collection with thw windows explorer into a *.crossdb and open this with the latest official release of 1.6.0 - this wil do the trick without a migration

Cheers and a happy weekend,

thanks steve and jim i think my main concern is the music libary on my comp has there been any altering of that by the software or is it just affecting the collection it establishes for its use. and by back up do they mean the libary or the collection Cross establishes

It´s just concerning the cross-library, hadnt any issues with my iTunes/music-libaray at all so far.

Djayed 5 hours on a house-warming party yesterday, ran absolutely flawlessly

GO!

looking better , thought i might need to back up the music libary on my computer hunting flash drives put my hands on the first two 1 gig sticks, but they are incomplete since i added about 2 gig more , will considiliiate too a 4 gig stick first oppunity they say to think twice before speaking same thing goes for dealing with this issue

While we are talking about backups: Always store your music on two or three different places daniel! Imagine a thunder hits your house and overvoltage destroys your computer or/and laptop because both are connected to the power line. Then it is useful to have more than these two harddisks as back up I have stored all my music on my music laptop, my office and internet machine and on two different external hard disks. I have paid a lot of money for those MP3s and do not want to loose them

Cheers,

Steve

second that thought had a computer failure and loss three year of fianicial records and music once have back up in one form or fashion cautious as to what goes on my computer as well as where it goes on the internet one of the reason for the post on the thread for cd of software(DVS)to get a hard copy as well as the zipped files on flash drives

We understand this is an annoying bug, it will be fixed, status "high priority", in the forthcoming version.
Thank you again for your vid' reporting !
