Make the switch to this type

:cool: explain

in simple mode you leave waves tracks.At the same time will Beatmatcher. And to save space for the playlist

That is awesome.
The waveforms were very clear and helpful in 2.6. However starting in 3.0 the deck waveform got smaller and the beatmacher is useless .
Might as well do away with the beatmatcher and move to parallel waveforms. ++++++++

Not quite feeling this myself or maybe I am not understanding as I don't quite get the purpose or the point that is referred to , Personally I have no issues as things are and I have plenty of browser space etc, things seem in proportion to me, even room for new stuff on the Gui in my opinion. Maybe you could explain in more detail so I can understand why ?, no Offence intended if it helps then its all good , but if its just a quirk then I don't see the point in messing up what is already quite good.
Not sure about your screen real estate but for me I have used a 15" and a 17" laptop and the 15" is still great to use, do you have a much smaller screen ?

don't take me the wrong way on all this not trying to be picky just a Little confused

[FigDJ]

For me is about the usability of the beatmatcher. There is a pole in this suggestions section that has picture attachements explaining what I mean. From 2.6 to 3.0 the beatmacher went from being very clear and with good beat markers to be very noisy with all the colors and the way it renders the waveform.

So since the beatmacher is no longer useful, then I am all for having parallel waveforms.

By the way I do use a 17" laptop.

[Activated Soundwave]

still not getting what you mean !
although that's just me as I never ever need to use the beat matcher myself as I get all I need from the 2 waveforms, one for position/min markers and the main for my beat mixing, so I cant claim to understand.
going to have a better look tomorrow out of curiosity when I have time tomorrow.

thanks for the reply, I will figure it out eventually

[Activated Soundwave]

Although if you are on about changing the waveform to these long ones in your picture and loosing the standard waveform that would be a hard one for me to judge without seeing/using in the flesh so to speak, I guess one advantage is being able to see more of your loop brace on screen if you have 16 or 32 bars.But if I was to compare these in your picture to similarity with what Serato DJ has I would be dubious as I don't like serato for that reason its quite clumsy visuals I feel, will have a compare and look tomorrow, see if I totally get what you mean, I would not mind providing we did not loose any definition in the visual and markings overall from what we already have, these markings are very important too me in reading my tracks on the fly, I find them scarce in most other software, another reason why I prefer Cross DJ.

as an additional opportunity to switch to this kind would not prevent anyone. As an additional feature. For an additional choice

[RoJeC]

I do agree with beatmacher having changed the wrong way. From powerful advantage to (close to) 'what's the use of this' feature.

Assuming it will be better than in 2.6 soon...
- I prefer the half waves stuck together. Leaves no room for interpretation.

- In the image the FX -to me- seems degraded to deck level instead of general and flexible use it is now.

- The controls for loop and search are now efficiently grouped, also in combination with locators. I see no logic in splitting this in seperate sections.

The 'strip' approach which in my opinion has brought a major benefit that controls are always in the same place and can be made visible based on functional need, especially with all the different screen size around nowadays.

And generally adding major changes should be a major improvement, else it will be a feature that only is going to slow down development of major changes (like the next beatmatcher???)
