MIXVIBES Dj Community old forum

I think I mentioned this before, but didn't actually make a feature request. I'm extremely happy with CrossDj, there is one area though, that I feel needs some extra attention. Whenever I use the "sync" function (no "real DJ's don't use sync" comments please) the pitch range will change from - let's say 8% to 32% or even 100%. Now I understand that the software has to make this change in order to do the "sync", however having the deck automatically change to such a high range makes the pitch slider extremely sensitive. Basically I end up ruining my mix when trying to pitch back down (or up), coz the speed change is so drastic. Whilst in a mix, I can't still be trying to remember to check what range the deck has "automatically" changed to - this is a real problem for me. I suggest a relative pitch fader option in the config / settings panel. Whereby even though the sync had to change the pitch more than the range selected, it still only has a 8 or 10% effect on the speed from where it is. We could use a "hold" modifier to disable the pitch slide while taking it from it's "max" state to another position to make further adjustments. This is probably the biggest issue I'm experiencing since changing from Serato to Mixvibes. Please consider this, it would be really helpful to many user's. Otherwise - thanks for a great software.

Wow, no one else feel this would be useful?
Perhaps a better question is - has anyone else even used a relative pitch fader? Having this gives so much more control over the transitions from a high to low low to high bpm track.

I would definitely benefit from such feature. So +1

The issue is from the start : matching track with huge bpm differences.

I think too many users will be lost with this relative pitch (how to reset to 0% ? how to get back to normal behavior ?and so on).

Not even talking of timecode nightmare to have a relative pitch from an absolute pitch that is linked to a rotating speed that drive the bpm. Easiest way to look for this weirdness is when you clone a track on an other deck that have a different pitch value.

But this is suggestion, so I you've been heard and it is noted.

how to reset to 0%

A Reset button puts back to 0% & normal mode. Loading a new track would automatically put it into normal mode. I do understand the concern for DVS, but it's almost already "relative" depending on your pitch range. Once you've used this, you'll fully understand just what a great feature it actually is.

Thank you squire.

I already know relative pitch into other softwares, but I also often see people struggling to "how do you go back to regular pitch ?"

i'm one of those

i am too.
Also pitching tracks more than 10% when djing should be illegal.
you just destroy the track, imho.

When moving from house to hip hop / mid tempo it can sound cool to slow tracks down in unison. Also looping a non rhythmic part of a track and adjusting it to the incoming song tempo makes for cool transitions. But doing so may leave the pitch setting at 32 or even 100% which can inadvertedly cause some sloppy sounding DJ'ing.

That's almost as lame as saying "real DJ's play vinyl"
With 20+ years in this game, I take great pride in what I do & make sure I know what I'm gonna do before I do it. So yes, when I feel it appropriate, I will pitch a track down to 30, 50 or even 100%. If you don't know how to do it properly - then don't do it.

Precisely!
