Well, that's your prerogative.

Crashing software is always annoying. For DJ/VJing it does not matter if it are 2 or 100.000 people; every drop longer than appx 0.05 secs is noticed and keeps in mind/'experience' for a long time (hours to days).

I consider it my own responsibility to always have an alternative solution (also for other audio equipment). Many DJ's have some old LP's at hand to throw into the crowd to buy some seconds. Also handy if a track appears a mismatch for the moment.

Every MV product is beta tested for several months by a group all over the world, so not related to MV other than by the web. After this a release candidate is made available. The current version was tested by more than 400 people (see download area). Only after feedback the product was released.

I know the previous version was more stable, but also know that I have run tests to try to get it to show an error that lasted over 3 days of nonstop running (which ended with a defective video).

Crashes hardly ever occur random, The big challenge is to find the circumstance that is repeated. That's what the betatesters report on in the beta forum.

The latest... randomly listening to music in Cross and it crashes and dies. Tired of hearing excuses guys...


Hi,
judging from the crash report you weren't just listening to music in Cross, you were trying to relocate some missing tracks using the "Resolve all missing tracks" menu entry. This shouldn't crash for sure, no excuse, but this isn't intended to be used live ...
Anyway, would you be king enough to give us a bit more details about what you were doing when it crashed?

Thanks,

As I mentioned, I will check out the update that you said was coming very soon and see if that helps any of my problems.


So you weren't kind enough...
As you might have noticed, I was asking for info concerning this crash... Nothing to see with previous crashes and never said we didn't work on them or whatever.
I really don't understand why you feel necessary to be arrogant like this...

Then, goodbye!

By the way, did I tell you I probably fixed this latest crash yesterday?
I just wanted to check we were talking of the same one...
Have a nice day.

I play 2 nights almost every week with Cross 4-5 hours each night. Cross is running almost 24/7 at home and I have had no crash except for some beta version that got fixed before release.
Any luck on global search? There is not a software on the planet that only searches within the playlist.

Well you can go to collection and do global search.
Traktor doing a search in a playlist will only give you results from that playlist.
Serato DJ doing a search while in a smart list/crate will only give you results from smart list/crate your in.

Actualy the only program that gives you global results while doing search in a playlist is VDJ. I too do wish that Cross would do it to but that is not a bug or a crash only a request by a few of us that has not been implanted (yet).

There are quite a few people that run Cross several gigs a week with no problems.

If you fix a crash then release an update. What are you waiting for?

just think about it would you be happy to update you Cross 10 times a month rather then once a month with all corrections at once?
