Played history, color tagging, staying in sync while mixing
Posted: 13 Apr 2015, 13:40
Hi,
Downloaded Cross DJ Free today and I'm this far very impressed, especially with the iTunes library management (it keeps my ratings updated with simple refresh, like Rekordbox does and not Traktor) and beat sync.
Five quick questions/suggestions.
1# I notice the free version doesn't show played history, I hope that the paid version does show. Might wanna include this feature in detailed comparison chart.
2# Tracks should stay in sync while mixing and changing tempo.
3# Hovering over waveform with cursor should display time position of the track. I know some have requested bars but time should also be a option. This way it's very easy for me to calculate when track changes, takes away the need for back and forth clicking.
4# Color tagging tracks in library. 5 different colors would be great.
5# Currently playing track should be somehow be highlighted in playlist, displaying A or B in front of it would be ok.
At the moment this is it, after 20 min quick review. Hope to test it live soon and purchase the Cross version.
Good luck, I think you guys have a killer product here.
UPDATE!
1# FREE version does have history and currently playing is marked, but you have to first import/save the playlist into app to see these features.
4# There's also color tagging available after you've imported/saved your playlist.
5# This feature is available, see #1

#6 How do you fast forward when preview'ing track?
