Cross 3.0 RC - Thoughts and suggestions

First, I would like to give the team at MixVibes a HUGE shout out for the Cross 3.0 RC! You guys are moving in a direction that is amazing! Great work!

I am still tinkering with it, but so far I am loving it! It is so nice to have the image overlays and text input back for the Video section! I also love the fact that Video is just there, and no longer a "plug-in".

HUGE kudos to you for the ability to have so many video options available at our fingertips! You have really gone above and beyond for us & we appreciate it! This is what Vfx should have been from the start, but now with Cross it just looks and feels SO much better!

I do have a suggestion, if I may. None are major, just things I think would be improvements for the final release.

The way the video is displayed (with the 3 main boxes above all the players) takes up too much screen space. The old set up, with the video "preview" screens inside the playback deck, and the one large "program" deck in the center (like it was with the video plug in) was a much better layout. The current layout leaves almost no ability to see your library on screen without "expanding" it. Maybe an option to chose a couple different layouts in settings is possible?

BTW, I LOVE the new colored waveforms...

Great job! Will keep trying it out at home and see if anything that needs tweaking shows up, but right now it runs well and seems really stable!

Great job guys!

You might not have noticed that the new video 'bar' is sizeable on the fly by changing the height. :confused: :up: :down: = :right: :left: or :left: :right:

Hi guys for some reason the headphones did not play through on my 3.0 RC (using OSX Maverick) but as soon as I switched back to the last 2.6.0
it worked absolutely fine.

Not sure what the issue is but I just switched in-between the 2 versions.

Might be something to look at.

Since I have discovered Mixvibes I can honestly say my djing has improved tremendously. I love 3.0 would it be possible to leave the color locator like in 2.6 and could you add a reverse in the fx or on the interface.
Thanks
Happy Holidays

Unfortunately not. It doesn't match at all with colored waveforms ...

Reverse won't be added back in the interface, but you can easily map a keystroke to it in the keyboard pane of the preferences windows.
If you don't know how to do this, please create a new topic explaining what you want to do.

Thanx.

I know I am interjecting.
From my perspective I would love to be able to have 3 screen with

Right ride -- My collection view
Center -- Decks and waveform
left Side -- local monitor for my video output
