difference between Cross DJ for Mac and Cross DJ for PC

Postby Siggyman on 14 May 2014, 17:57

Hi, I'm Dave and I would really appreciate some feedback on some questions I have... or even with one answer/solution/feedback I would be very happy.

I used to work with Cross DJ on PC, now I'm trying to sort out Cross DJ for mac. I'm as well using music files directly from iTunes:

1. When I create a playlist, and then close and reopen Cross DJ, the playlist is still there, and I can play all songs without a problem. But when I export the playlist as a .m3u, and then delete that playlist, import it again, some tracks won't play anymore (red X). Strange thing is that some tracks are affected, others not... but if I delete that same playlist again and import it again, other tracks are affected. What can I do to prevent this?

2. In my PC edition of Cross DJ, I can set the detection sound level to 10db, so when a track gets loaded, it searches for the beginning of the song (starting at a minimum of 10db). Is that feature still available in the MAC version? I can't seem to find it, and tracks are starting only after a couple hundreds of a second. Ok, I know I can push the back button (seek) and set a CUE POINT... but I liked the feature to automatically start at the beginning of a track.

3. Played tracks used to get a darker grey color in the PC version... so I knew which songs were already played that night. Now they just stay white. Is there another option to see which tracks are already played?

4. I do use the program as a dance teacher, and I'm counting in BARS per minute. Now I found out the option to switch to bars, but for instance Rumba is something around 25 BARS per minute... but when I try to count it with the BPM counter, it seems like MV can't handle that slow tempo? Is that correct, can't I count slow tempo's (the bars option is set, and the slow option is set).
Or, in my PC version I was able to manually overwrite the BPM, so that it would reflect the bars instead of the beats, but it switches back after reloading a track. Can that feature be turned of?

Thanks you all!
Siggyman

Can provide a few answers with respect to how it works. Not why it works like this. Some might be suggestions.

I think you compare different versions. Now there is no volume threshold for cue in 3.1

Cross minimum bpm is 40. Don't know wjy but it is. Any change nelow 40 is not saved. Other chsnges are supposed to be saved. Some change s require the bpm range set to the right level.

There is something wrong with import. This has to do with handling of lower and uppercase in the names of files and folders. I provided the details and expect it is resolved next version latest.

Sofar my knowledge.
