Hi all.
I rely Automix a lot so I can interact with the people, but it is just too glitchy.
It routinely pauses the playing song for a few mili-seconds while it loads the next song. Not always, but too often.
Last night when I clicked "Mix Now" it restarted the current song and wouldn't let it go.
When the Automix editor opens it is at the bottom of the list and I have to scroll up to find the current playing song. I keep a large list so that I'm free to interact with people.
Songs that I've used the Automix editor on are the ones that glitch the most.
The Automix allows far too much silence at the end of track before starting the next song. I cant find the setting for db level. Even the winamp xfader plug-in has this setting. It only seems to do 'number of seconds' or 'smart mixing'.
When it's time to do some beat mixing, I stop Automix. When it's time restart Automix, there is not "Resume here" or "Resume from last" function. Sometimes it restarts at the beginning of the list. If the song I'm playing is in the list somewhere it will resume from there, but then I have to go find it and drag it to where I need it.
Automix restarts in which-ever deck it damn well feels like.
There is no function for "play next" or "move to next" to put a song under the current playing song. I would also like "play soon" to add the song within the next 10 in the list, even an "add to end of list" would be nice.
When re-ordering songs (dragging and dropping) it's too easy to finger fumble and end up clicking a song which == Mix Now. I would prefer if Mix Now was it's own button so that I can edit my list with out fear of jumping songs. Perhaps clicking on a song could open the Automix editor instead of playing it.
For the record, I don't rely on automix to do beat mixing. I do that myself.
I used to use winamp with the cross fade plug-in. Never had problems like this. I'm tempted to see if I can run it in Wine just to get my stability back. Even iTunes is more reliable.
VDJ is a professional program in it's 8th iteration. It should not be glitchy.
I'm using a 2011 Macbook with two internal hard drives (no cd drive) and the latest OSx.
