Brake FX - Caught out twice as effect still enabled.

Postby elationdjs on 17 Aug 2014, 23:08

Hi guys,

Using Cross 3.2 with DDJ-SX. Using brake effect over weekend, enabled it, song slows and stops, new track in.. All good until, you add a song on the deck that had brake enabled, you get it ready for the mix, bring the song in..... What no sound?? Ahhh brake is still enabled!

Can the brake be made to disable itself (turn off) when the effect has finished, this has caught me out a few times over last month.

Cheers John.

Hi Daniel,

I'm no programmer so I'm not implying it would be easy but maybe when the software detects that the brake effect has finished and play commences on the other deck. It's only an idea or if another track is loaded on the deck that had just been used with brake then the effect is disabled (reset).

:cool: thinking this thru ,, only thing i could think of if the master was changed to the other deck that might signal the other track to go to a default setting ,, but the outcome of that might be bad also ,,
not a dev either ,, just a old dee jay ,, :mrgreen:

No name dropping here Daniel but other softwares do seem to have this ability, it's just really annoying when your in the mix, apply a brake and drop the other track then load next track and drop that for there to be a really awkward silence while you work out what's happened.

I too will have a play and see what way it could be tackled. Hopefully programmers may see this and come up with a solution... :)

:cool: this brings to mind ,,years ago when 12"vinals singles were new on the sene ,, had to color code the vinal with florence tags to be able to not play the wrong speed for the vinal ,, ,got to adapt your work flow to the senerio ,, :cool:

I can see how a "reset FX on track load" option would come in handy here. Just like you can reset the fader to 0 on load in some software for example or the gain.

I guess it won't be that easy in the way Cross works (anything can be programmed but..).
In Cross FX are not fixed to a deck. The FX are changeable on the fly in the routing between mixer and master out. Also FX's routing can be set in line (one after the other).
The other is that the FX may be linked to a video effect that doesn't brake.

So to have this 'brake reset' done will be quite conditional.

And of course other FX have other requirements for special treatment, like roll.

As Daniel mentioned you have to tell quite explicit what you want to happen under which user conditions for such and maybe what you don't want to happen; involving developers in programming can only be the next step.

Scheduled a new way to control effects within Cross. Maybe this suggestion comply with the next future...
