Hi Owen, i had some time to check out your single deck control (r2350) and would like to give some feedback.
My Specs: Macbook CD2 1,83Ghz 2GB Ram OSX 10.5.8 Traktor Scratch Vinyl M-Audio FW 410 Latency 5ms Crash: * Start vinyl, start Mixxx and double-click on track in library to load in Player 1-->Crash Sound: * Artefacts when moving record slowly, tapping on record or hit the brake * Heavy Distortion (like reverb) when moving the vinyl if "Pitch independent time stretch" is activated in preferences, goes along with frequent CPU spikes ( 80%-->140% CPU CoreDuo2) Vinyl-control: * "Play" button reflect its current state only sometimes,triaged with Pitchfader /BPM Display /Pitch Rate not showing changes If so, the track sometimes skips some seconds . * When using a skin with Hotkeys, the Hotkeys are fired twice , first on Button down, second on Button up * When using a skin with Hotkeys, the "Hotcues preview the Cue when the player is stopped" feature does not work anymore * End-of-record & Needle skip warning does not work GUI: * Would be nice to have a Keyboard shortcut to activate the Vinyl Control 2 , same for Vinyl Mode * "Trancer-DJO-3" skin.xml : Line 8 (c&p error), Line 1047-1056 (obsolete since v1.8) * Rectangle around the track area overlays all other infos which result in wrong tooltips Some general Questions: * Is it possible to skip to the beginning of a track when dropping the needle on the records` lead-In? * Is it possible to scroll trough the library when spinning the record fore/back on the records` scroll zone? And then to play the selected track with placing the needle to the play zone? * Is it possible to have a kind of scratch mode? If i use the crossfader in ABS/REL Mode the signal is cutted and the track stops playing for that moment. In CONST mode the tracks does not care either. * Is your "looking for skinname-fullscreen when activating fullscreen mode" patch already included? Keep up the good work, jus On 4 Mar 2010, at 04:12, Owen Williams wrote: > I made some little hacks to get single deck control working in my > lp:~ywwg/mixxx/features_xwax branch.
