Topic: im sure someone knows how

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

hi, firstly im sorry if this is in the wrong section,

im analysing all of my music with mixed in key, and ive set it to record the key of the track in the comments column as i didnt want to go changing the track or artist lines, however is there a way to get the comments to show on the deck that the track is playing on and remove the part that shows you the key as there was no option for adding it to this tag on scanning.

thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you seek. By analyzing (scan for bpm) all your songs the key info will show up at the key column (and key numeric as well) of the browser, and it will also appear on the deck infos.

Anyway the default skin has no comment textzone. A lot of skins in the Download page do. But as a No License User you can not download any of these i'm afraid.

You may also edit the default skin, but you will need some skills. Read more here http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Skin%20SDK%20.html
 
 
I understand what this user is asking.

VDJ does attempt to provide key info for tracks but unfortunately it's not very good at it.

For starters, VDJ seems to think that most songs are in a minor key.

Mixed In Key is much better at determining the true key of the song, and will even provide two keys in some instances.

What the user requests is a way of VDJ displaying the MIK key instead of its own (often wrong) attempt.

I agree that it would be preferable to have an option/choice.
 
You already have the option, in mixed in key you can choose where to save that info. Then in VDJ just dont have the VDJ\'s key show in the browser....................problem solved ;-)

Huey

And check out the Circle of fifths..................youll see VDJ isnt that bad.............
 
thanks for the input guys, i appreciate it, what i meant by the last part was that mixed in key only gives you the option to write the key
- before artist name,
- after song name
- before comments
- over write comments

(no option to write it in the 'key' tag)

as i didnt want to change any of the titles or artists i chose overwrite comments, so the key column on my songs is irrelevant now, (i wish there were the hours in the day to go through and type them all in but its just not going to happen)

@ huey, i see what youre saying, and have already removed the vdj key from the browser but want the comments showing on the now playing deck.

@ dhoude, at the moment i only have a 2 deck controller but exactly what you say is what i need on my 2 deck skin, i there a way to re-write the script to make it show??
 
I use my skin with the 2 deck NS7 and some fancy scripting. But you can change deck with your key board too.

The part of my skin that gets me those comments displayed is:

<textzone deck="left" rightclick="deck left edit_comment">
<size width="150" height="19" />
<pos x="154" y="416" />
<text font="Arial" size="16" color="#D1D3D4" align="left" weight="bold" format="%comment" />
</textzone>
<textzone deck="right" rightclick="deck right edit_comment">
<size width="150" height="19" />
<pos x="908" y="416" />
<text font="Arial" size="16" color="#D1D3D4" align="left" weight="bold" format="%comment" />
</textzone>

The bold parts are the universal part that you will need and then come up with you own location on the skin for the comment. The Italic part is an extra way for me to edit the comment from the deck by right clicking the comment, but is not needed if you want to leave it out.
 
@biran, if you use the default 2 deck skin you can easily edit and replace the key info with the comment field.

Open the xml file with Notepad or another xml editor and ...
a. Find format="KEY %Pkey" and replace with format="KEY %comment" you will find 4 of those
b,Find format="KEY %Pcamelot" anf replace with format="KEY %comment" you will find 6 of those

Rezip the file and you're done
 
Brilliant! Thanks for your help guys! Ill give it a bash and let you know the findings! Fingers crossed lol
 
Just wanted to say thanks for the help, it works a treat and has saved me a lot of headache and screw ups! so again, cheers!.

brian.
 
hi, can any one help. im using virtual dj on a hp laptop with newmark omni. the music keeps stopping. ive down loaded a latency test and that dose say there is a prob but im strugling to sort it. please help felllow vdj friends
 
probably should be in its own thread mate, but still...

go into your device manager and disable things like bluetooth, web cam, etc.. basically anything that you dont critically need to run the computer or vdj. it all slows the system down.

I wonder if you can make a copy of the database (for safety) and do the same "find" and "replace" to

- Change all the scanned comments to Key
- Then change the unwated key information back to comments.

After all it is an XML too. Then once the unwated VDJ keys are in comments, use a batch "erase comment" to clear that data out. Hope that makes sense. Not sure if it works either, but I have done this find and replace when copying my database between computers with different drive letters. For example, find C:\ and replace with E:\ and that worked. But only modify the coppied database.
