Special Locators
Posted: 10 Apr 2012, 23:55
I was thinking about editing tracks live on set.
So it would be nice to have some special locators, to mark different places in a track, to automaticly jump to parts or skip some.
I mean you place a locator at a point in a track and you place it's pair at an another point, and when played, when it reaches the first locator it jumps to it's pair by this skipping the parts between these too.
Or it can be used to jump back in the track when raching a certain locator.
This can be also saved with track info.
Would be nice to use, so DJ-s can prepare and pre-edit track before set and they can edit live, so the track will fit to the needs of the DJ, so if the DJ is not that virtuous, he can mess up with the track without triggering hot-cues.
In absolute mode it can be possible to use, but a little difficult. Maybe Cross can be forced to calculate track time positioning with these locators used, so it will recalculate track lenght counting in lenght lost by skipping parts or lenght gained by repeating one.
