Hi William,
I am a lot familiar with DJ softwares for a few years now. During my
leisure time I use virtual DJ Pro and play around with it. I am the
official DJ of my batch and whenever there is a function which needs music
I am the guy that they always turn to. I love listening to hiphop, rock
and trance music and most of the songs that I play fall into those
categories. I'm not a professional I did those for fun and I learned DJ'ing
all by myself. I really love it that is why I was really happy to see that
a DJ software has been accepted by GSoC and I decided to make some
contribution.
First of all thank you very much for the detailed information. I am happy
to say that I understood the things that you've mentioned here.
Instead of the SYNC button in virtual DJ they have what they call a beat
lock. When a track is added to deck 1 and before you add a track to deck 2
you can hit the beat lock button and then add it. The playing speed of the
track on deck 2 changes accordingly to the BPM of deck 1. But even there
the decks do not check always with one another and try to adjust the beats.
The scenario that you've mentioned through (1), (2) and (3) is correct.
Those can take place practically. But there might be a little problem. If
this feature is implemented say that the two tracks dynamically check for
each others BPM and try to synchronize the playing speeds of the songs can
go horribly fast or slow and it can jeopardize the whole DJ session.
The master clock concept is more or less the same. instead of synchronizing
with the other deck this time the tracks are synchronized to a BPM set as
the master clock.
Thanks for the youtube link. I watched it and yes it will be a cool
function for a DJ to have. He/She will be able to sync the two tracks very
easily with it. When you said that the music was so loud I thought it is a
joke while listening to the guy who speaks in a very low voice but when the
song came up I came to know what you meant :).
I'm happy to tell you that I'm very much interested in this idea and the
project. I understand major requirements of this project and I pretty much
like to do this as a GSoC project.
I'm a final year student of department of computer science and engineering,
university of Moratuwa, Srilanka. I'll be downloading the code base and try
to build it. I will update you about the progress. I don't have prior
knowledge of Bazaar and building code from it. But I'm familiar with maven
and ant builds. I hope that bazaar would be the same.
Thanks!
Gayan
