Is the new Cross Pack a replacement for the DVS pack? I ordered the DVS pack from Amazon a while back but as they don't have it in stock it still hasn't arrived. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel my order and get Cross instead?
Advice, suggestions and opinions welcome!
Cheers,
Chris

hello,
http://www.mixvibes.com/site/pageeng/pa ... l_MixVibesCross and DVS are 2 very different softwares, "PAck" = audio interface included (same interface for DVS pack and Cross Pack)

Thanks for your reply and the link. Do you think that, in the future, Version 7 will slowly move to the background and the developers will focus more on Cross?

i think there will be TWO products in the future:
Cross
MixVibes DVS7
both version will get free updates and improvements and last not least they have different prices...so no worries about this

both mixvibes DVS 7 & Cross are good
so it all depends on how you want to work
lets brake it down
we will start time code feeling ....both 7 & Cross Feel good to me
I have been using mixvibes 6 & 7 for years And have tested the Cross vinly beta for about 10 weeks...as I said both feel go to me
Media Management
Cross media manger is very good , easy to use ...better than 7
BUT once you get used how mixvibes 7 media manager works you will not have a problem
I-TUNES vs no I-Tunes...I dont use I-tune for my music
so this is no bigge for me .....but if you use I-tunes & have all your music in I-tunes then Cross is for you
Custom vs simple....the good thing will mixvibes DVS 7 is you can move your racks around & hide your racks when you dont need them.....or you can run 2 LCD screens and have your sampler & effects on one screen and your decks and media list , play list on the other.......where Cross is simple , everything is in front off you
PC vs Mac , PC & Linux ...if you going to run on a PC now & in the future...than mixvibes 7 will be OK.....but if your thinking off up-grading to a Mac in the future or look at changing your OS so you can run LINUX ...Then Cross is for you
Features vs NO Features...mixvibes 7 has a sampler & effects.....Cross has on real Features ...BUT Cross is only new
and with in a year it will have some more good features
PS: I know its a hard decision....mixvibes 7 will be here for some time yet...I'm hoping for a 8 & a 9
but mixvibes Cross is one off those programs mixvibes had to make
because you can only do so much DEV with a old platform
the new platform that Cross is made on is the Future

Mello and Wazza cheers very much for your input! I can't actually find anywhere online that's selling the Cross Pack at the moment; are either of you (or anyone else) aware of where it's on sale (or could I maybe buy it direct from you nice inVibes people?!). Have a new radio show starting soon and would be good to have the ease of use of this system for visiting DJs.
Cheers,
Chris
