Itch 2.2 and dont ask for a spaceship

dj lashes 5:47 PM - 21 January, 2012

ok so let me ask what do think should be added to 2.2 when it comes along and try to be realistic lol...

here is what i think itch needs to hold its users and it not asking for so much, give us more options in the setting so we can fine tune itch to our style, like...
*on song load not only play from start and 1st cue what about 2nd, 3rd or play from after blank space even better start from X beat grid number is that not what the grid is for to make the track 100% in time so use it to the max.
*braking now its just hard or what time to slow down what about a stop then a small reverse i use to love that back in the day on tec 1210s
* when you load a song option for auto cue in head phone on or off
*Make the smart crate smart now its a F grade student badly needs a IF statement.
*can we have an option to turn off the limiter light or the limiter it self and before anyone say about bad sound ect.. once again thats for the user to say whats best for them.

so any way what do you think 2.2 should have???

limiter light -> OK
limiter itself -> this would produce horrible noises... if you're scoring Scary Movie 4 then it may be fine, otherwise just raise the headroom settings, done.

Fix large libraries and subcrates loads "out of memory" issue that is known yet unfixed.

djcerla 6:20 PM - 21 January, 2012

there is another HORRIBLE bug in 2.1 (it's a file analysis issue) but given nobody but me encountered it yet, I'll push the request directly to the developers ;)

haze324 6:29 PM - 21 January, 2012

song load. The way traktor does it, it has hot cues and it has load markers. You can assign a cue as a "load marker" and your song will load there, default if no load marker exists it loads from the beginning of the track.

2.2 would be great if part of the new plug-in model after SSL, they also brought over the SSL effects plug in. They brought SP6, Vidoe plug in is next, effects pluggin hopefully is coming after.

blackavenger 7:08 PM - 21 January, 2012

If Effects aren't a priority for 2.2, I'm going to have a real hard time justifying using ITCH anymore. It's gotten to the point where I don't even use effects w' ITCH...they suck that bad!

Of course I would like to see some External MIDI as well, but even that pales in comparison to Effects! It's either Effects, or I am retiring my NS6 for a while....I can't take the frustration anymore.

haze324 9:02 PM - 21 January, 2012

I normally play out on a DJM 800 or 900 and strictly use those effects. Last night on purpose I brought my X1 and strictly used SSL effects. Delay, Reverb, HPF, Voice Flanger and Echo Out and Roll out. I'll be honest the quality of the effects does not come close to a DJM, but having the variety and the ability to use them in the software was a nice treat. I've used Traktor plenty and think these were not that far off. Anything similar in Itch would be a HUGE step up. The roll out (fast) effect was a ton of fun last night. It's like a combination of a loop roll and power down at the same time. Hope Itch gets this soon. I think the challenge will be how to implement it on devices like the NS6 or NSFX with only one Dry Wet.

skinnyguy 9:11 PM - 21 January, 2012

a bug fix which still hasn't been addressed since 2.0.

about the undo feature after loading from the prepare window.

Culture Clash 3:07 AM - 22 January, 2012

I would LOVE to see way to toggle between hot cue triggers and SP-6 triggers with out reaching for a mouse to select a tiny icon on the screen. I'm on the NS7FX. Being able to trigger samples from the cue buttons is great but then I need to get to my cues right away again so I'm slowed down a lot and it takes my mind out of the ZONE.

Serato could pitch a hardware SP-6/ FX controller to one of it's partners. I'd buy it.

The effects.... Fix 'em. If so many users say they are unhappy with the effects.... Fix 'em.

The ability to take effects out of the selection menu would be good. Half of them never get used by me. The ability to pick the default effect for each deck would be nice.

2.1 is working great for me stability wise. A few anomalies but hasn't crashed yet and I have been using it for 12 hours a day and I'm running on a machine that is under the minimum spec.

It would not be "bad sound" but loud static digital noises. I can't think of a single reason why an user would want that instead of soft-clipping!

Eh... I kinda disagree with this one on a whole change-up level. I think it would be better to just set cue points as necessary. This would cause way to many problems if implemented on a program wide scale.

Quote:

That's not quite a feature (especially in software) so much as it is the deck rebounding slightly once the drives forward motion is braked. That would require a complete hardware modification of specific devices such as the V7 and NS7 as opposed to a software modification which would have to re-create the exact random variables for that to occur. Not feasible.

Oh please, No. This is one of the very things I could not (and, to this day, cannot) STAND about Virtual DJ Pro - especially since it would over-ride my hardware cue switches (or fader depending on hardware used).

Eh, the limiter light... I don't know. Personally I'm happy for it to stay. It's not distracting and, if anything, it's a perfectly valid warning. It doesn't over-ride anything nor does it cause any gui issues so I don't see the problem with it.
Limiter itself, certainly not. I wouldn't budge on that one for any reason. Raise the headroom if necessary.

So why not just raise your headroom and call it a day? Also, I've seen some DJs manage large systems and blow them just as quickly. A significant DJ's don't know what "clipping", "headroom" or a "limiter" even is from what I've seen.

While we're at it, the "such-and-such crate is damaged. Shutting down and restarting Scratch Live may fix..." notification.
First, I have yet to see what this supposed damage is. Beyond this message popping up for a few crates during loading (and I have a LOT of crates with a LOT of music), I get nothing further. It's also amusing seeing it say "Scratch Live" while I'm clearly loading up Serato ITCH.

In addition, can we finally fix the frozen GUI that occurs randomly (and unpredictably on every system I've ever installed ITCH on) when unloading a playing deck? The other loaded deck continues to play (and even recognizes Vinyl control + Hot Cues) but no other function, and I mean no other function on the ITCH device works.

Agreed. I haven't even bothered to use the feature because of this very reason. It's easier for me to just trigger them from the keyboard (I got one of these (though it's not branded) from Office Depot and I just have it sitting in my KB slide out tray so I don't have to reach up to the notebook's keyboard - www.amazon.com).

you disagree and thats great you just hit the nail on the head thanks!! every dj knows what he or she like so we should have the option to pick for are self that why so much people move to vdj, tracktor ect.. the software may not be as stable but there get more user options and as for me being a serato user 100% i want the most out of it.

i think your wrong the great team at serato could make this happen, does anyone have a problem now when using the break to slowly come to a stop? so what is the hard part about after the stop a little 1-2 sec slow reverse i dont think that a total program re-write.

I'll ask this as someone with programming experience: How is it that a system is supposed to recreate the precise variables with no user input that would result in such with this effect which is caused when an actual motorised deck comes to a stop by way of user input?

Video is coming to itch. It would be great if karaoke was supported as well. Support for mp3+g.

dj-mike5ive 11:53 PM - 23 January, 2012

I think we need something like a Sample Recorder, like Traktor has.
I like the Song skipping in Traktor --> it woud be nice if Itch has something.
And please please please add a AutoFade funktion!! Not with Sync, but only one song to another. For Example at the beginning or the End of an evening!!

I think Traktor has a lot of good futures -But I live SSL and Itch.

But I think Serato should look on traktor for better handling and live performing.

if you really, really need that for playlists. load itunes and set the controller soundcard as the default... play itunes and your playlist will be heard on the speakers. you can set the cross fade in itunes

shaytron 8:46 PM - 24 January, 2012

An option to have a Quantize type of "snap to" when in sync mode like Traktor has had for years. As a Twitch user I cannot stress this enough. Just an option to check in the setup menu. Please, oh PLEASE!

elsupermang 9:01 PM - 24 January, 2012

Not really my number 1 wanted feature but both Serato and Itch have the history function which is pretty much unused to tabulate stats on what songs you play, for how long, and what you mixed it with. It would be cool if you had stats on your most frequently played songs/artists/genres etc. Also what song you mix with what song the most. If it could detect "sets" that'd be cool as well. Further to that they can enable somewhere to upload all this stuff, maybe even group sharing/compilation of stats. And as a next step, a companion Ipad app that lets you browse through the statistics on the fly. Maybe even recommend songs based on previous mixes/sets.

Anton2079 9:12 PM - 24 January, 2012

The ability to connect more than one controller natively.
You can already do it now but you have to do it a special way.
Run Serato > connect Twitch > connect DDJ-S1 then it will work.

CBSDJDAVE 5:35 PM - 25 January, 2012

Went to the NAMM show, Numark and serato had 2.2 version of itch loaded on NS6 that was on display at the show , when I went to setup in software I notice the vers. was 2.2, I should have taken a picture to prove they already have a 2.2 version, , it may be a beta release for there testing , The computer they were using for the show was a mac, they also had the new Numark 4trak next to the ns6 which wil be using traktor software , I tried searching for itch 2.2 mac version on the net cant find it floating around yet, but there was a 2.2 windows version from rapid share , I am on mac so i could not open it. hopefully the mac version will be leaked out soon, you guys with windows might want to try searching (serato itch 2.2 ) and check it for us.

FAKE.

I've got a copy of Adobe CS8 and Ableton Live 11 here if you want them. They've got a few 'extras' in them, though.

Anyone who downloads 'software' from somewhere like that deserves all they get...

phatbob 6:01 PM - 25 January, 2012

Seriously, though, SL 2.0 leaked a while back, and you can be pretty confident Serato are a lot more careful about who gets on a private beta these days.

Anyway, if it was ready to be widely tested they'd make the beta public. They don't just hold it back to wind people up...

Greetings,I know this mail may come to you as a surprise,I am Barrister Mussa Issah the solicitor/counsel to the late Sanni Abacha who was then before his death, the President/Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Just yesterday his widow wife Mrs. Mariam Abacha called to intimate me of the condition of her family over the pursuance of fund by the Government over the husbands alleged loot.

In fact, She conferred in me that her son was working with a German National only for the German to take advantage of the situation, there by setting her son up in Germany where he went to claim his father deposit. You can verify this fact your self through the German Embassy over an alleged Abacha's Son, Mr. Abba Abacha trying to pull out the sum of (US$40 M) Forty Million Dollars from the Bank.

At this point in time, She solicited my humble self to look for a reputable gentleman who will be of great assistance to the family and somebody who can take over the sum of $27M (Twenty Seven Million United States Dollars Only)which is presently deposited in a Security Company, for investment. I will later on the course of this transaction disclosed to you the Security Company accordingly.

If you will be interested to act upon on receipt of this mail, please do contact me on the enlisted contact adress and more so be kind to issue me with your current Telephone Number for prompt conversation.

Thanks for your sincere understanding while looking forward to your positive response/cooperation.

2 deck sking for 4 channel controllers
"Official Support" of multiple itch controllers together.
(still 1:1 but certain controllers have features that others don't)
aka ...add a twitch to any controller and now you have slicer functionality.

phatbob 7:22 PM - 25 January, 2012

Aaaaaaand we're back on topic.

Apart from FX fixes, I really want proper deck controls on the GUI. Cue point times especially.

Just more like Scratch Live, so I don't feel like I'm lacking information when I open Itch.

DJ-2ni 8:16 AM - 26 January, 2012

possibility to change other parameters of the effects, in setup mode for exemple, have a setup menu only for the effects and can access to many parameters and ITCH keep them in memory when I quit Itch.
And user effetcs, like with VFX1
That will be a good thing

Twitch. Only adjustment can be made from the Mixer section. :\

An intelligent 2 deck view option for 4 deck controllers (NS6!). Maybe even the ability to turn decks 3 and 4 into sample decks using the cue points to trigger them. There is so much wasted space on my 13in screen. Also, being able to hide the beat and tempo transient displays would be nice to free up more room. In theory they seem useful, but in practice I rarely glance at them.

CBSDJDAVE do not post links to Serato's own (or anyone's) software on our forum. Our software is a free download for anyone - pirating it is illegal, not to mention completely unnecessary.

The Bridge and open midi mapping.

benictrs 1:24 AM - 27 January, 2012

1. 2 deck view for the ns6 or a mode to make player 3 and 4 show up only the mininum information or the ability to customize the wievs so that player 1 and 2 show at normal size and the other two smaller.
2. better efects pls
3. adding the posibility to modify the harmonic like on the djm800 , i find this extremely useful in creating beautiful efects .
4. ability to tonect external midi controler for the easier acces of the sp6 sampler player and the efects/transitions in serato video .
5. prehaps the ability to play flac files :)
6. on the ns6 the posibility to use the touch strip to comand the efects dry wet as an option , my ns6 is still ok but on my friends ns6 was the first thing to brake :( . ( those little faders take much abuse and it seems to me that they are of the lowest quality on the entire device , toghether with the parameter knob for the efects , pretty sad if you ask me ) . i personaly don't use the touchstrip to much because i organise my music before the gig's in the ofline player (cues & loops) as i supose most of the other users do
7. if you modify the use of the touch strip it would be pretty awesome to be able to skip trhu the song using the touchstrip on beat( like in traktor;) )

When are we going to stop kidding ourselves.........Traktor has just about everything we are constantly asking of ITCH.......and ScratchLIVE for that matter, as well.

What keeps me from Traktor are Loop Rolls, and the Library System (no sub-folders). Though, I think it might be time to look past those shortcomings.

haze324 1:47 AM - 27 January, 2012

You can do loop rolls with the effect beatmasher.

The library system will drive you nuts compared to SSL/Itch.

yeah, I know. A couple years back I bought Traktor Scratch Duo just to saee what all the hub bub was about. Library management was the reason I eventually sold it. So I take it that nothing has been improved since TSP 2.0 was released?

haze324 5:33 AM - 27 January, 2012

Beatmasher ---- is just a loop roll and the when you turn the knob you are setting the length of the "loop"

Yeah man, it's still the same it has "the collection" and no prepare screen. I think it got worse after 2.0 I would get random lost files all the time and would have to re-import my collection and analyze it. For playing an open format party where Im jumping genre's I much prefer SSL/Itch's library management.

I sold my Korg Zero4 (it was aging anyway) to buy the NS6. I have been using the NS6 as my main mixer for my TT setup as well....that's getting really fuckin' old! So, I decided that I should buy another mixer for my TTs/CDJs...probably a Denon X-1600. The Denon is Traktor Scratch Certified.....I could pick up an upgrade copy of Traktor Scratch for like $250, as opposed to nearly $600 for the version with that includes the Audio10. That's what's got me thinking of TSP 2....since I'm getting the mixer anyway...why not get Traktor too? Having FLAC support, Open MIDI, Tighter Keylock, a Sample Recorder, Amazing Effects, and that Ableton-esque functionality that's coming soon, is a little too tempting to ignore anymore.

I refuse to sell my SL3, or NS6.......who knows I may really HATE Traktor, but I am also starting to hate Serato too. 6 Years of asking for features that they are only now starting to get around to.....and worse yet, some that they haven't even bothered with at all!! I really wish Serato products weren't so dominant w' the Hip-Hop/Club scene......perhaps if it weren't, more features like Traktor has would have taken priority.

haze324 6:59 PM - 27 January, 2012

Dude, I was on Traktor for a while and they blew off feature requests for a LONG time. Do you know how long people were asking for colored waveforms, and how many people continue to ask for "warpable" beat grids, not to mention the amount of folks that want/need a better midi mapping screen method and they've already said it's way too hard to undo and redo the current process.

I'd say try it out, maybe you like it.....but if you get the certified mixer you're going to have lug that thing around anytime you want to play on Traktor. Seems like a mission. Also you only need the Audio 10 if you plan on playing with 4 decks AND using the loop recorder. If not a used Audio 8 will run you 200 bucks these days.

Try it on your NS6, maybe you love it maybe you hate it.

DJ Urkel Dee 7:25 PM - 27 January, 2012

The mistake I made was buying the V7's with all the misleading info I received right before the purchase... I love the V7's build and concept... But between Serato promise of the bridge (years ago) and N.I. and Numark promising platter control for the V7's I'm literally stuck... I guess this summer when the new gear is released I will be able to figure out what direction I will go.

I guess the difference is that Traktor ALREADY has everything that I have been requesting of Serato, for many years now. Listen, this isn't a Serato vs. Traktor thing.....it's purely about features, and which one has more.

The same thing could be said for owners of controllers, as well as owners of the 57SL, Sixty-Eight, the upcoming Sixty-One & Sixty-Two....same for Traktor & Pio's DJM-T1 & DJM-900 Nexus mixers........so that's kinda a moot point. However, I agree. Once upon a time I owned a 57SL, and as cool as i thought that mixer to be, I hated bringing it out to the club....and all the headache that comes w' that. Naa, just like I bought an SL3 during that time, so too would I buy an Audio10 if I decided I really liked TSP 2.

Sorry for the thread-jack......back to ITCH 2.2 discussion.

Because I have been a Serato user since ScratchLIVE 1.3! My entire Library is organized for Serato! It is such a daunting task to switch programs and have to redo Cue Points on thousands of tracks....it's the sole reason I have stuck around this long, and the primary reason for my appeals to Serato that they get their shit together. I don't want to use anything but Serato, but the novelty of it's limited feature set is getting pretty old!

Face it, Serato products are for people that want straight forward, simplistic, usage. Which, in itself isn't necessarily bad, however, in my 16 years of DJing, simply matching 2 or even 3 tracks and transitioning between them ad nauseum is getting pretty boring. Serato is perfect for that! Though, I want to tinker! I want the freedom to do what I want w' the software, and not have a company DICTATE to me how it should be used. ScratchLIVE is pretty good at this, so I don't really have much fault w' it, accept for a few issues like FLAC, Keylock, and SP-6 Sync. But ITCH on the other hand......this shit is frustrating on many levels.

Dj Ricky Redz 11:45 AM - 31 January, 2012

back to the itch 2.2 wish list....

1.) classic layout (1.5 look) with day/night color option

2.) time remain & time elapsed in the circle representing each deck as in sl

3.) be able to switch sample deck without killing samples being currently played

4.) better effects

and uuummmm.... x7 mixer with usb 3.0 and a 4 usb 3.0 hub which would be backward compatible + 4 ethernet connection for 4 deck control :D

dj_spark 3:48 PM - 31 January, 2012

- display 2 or 3 decks instead of always 4 (save space)
- better fx, or the SSL ultra & super knob, user tweakable
- taller vertical waveforms ala SSL
- midi mapping for external controler

Everything work flawlessly for me on the NS6 so I can't complain on any issues, sorry guys.

Papa Midnight 9:17 PM - 31 January, 2012

Well, I've been asking for this for years now... might as well bring it up here: Basic low-level GPU acceleration of the Serato ITCH front-end in the Windows build (to do something about these jerky / choppy / stuttering waveforms on even high-end Windows machines). Hell, even basic DirectDraw would probably get the job done and that doesn't even require full screen acceleration. Direct3D would be bonus (also does not require full screen acceleration). Licensing a problem? Hello, OpenGL.

MusicDan 5:40 AM - 1 February, 2012

Don't know if either of these has been asked for...

1: Auto Talk Over-I know the DDJ S1 has this but it is hardware based, I would absolutely love this on my NS6. There should be a way to do this thru the software.

2: When a channel is not on PC mode, pressing the headphone cue button should not switch layers.

Freeze Effect

Prez@Betamorph 1:22 AM - 3 February, 2012

1. Infinite parameter range for fx and then a tempo lock or tap. Just like in the numark dxmo6. The amount of effects is limited on that mixer but numark nailed the fun factor and creativity in that unit, If i want exact increments, i can tap them in.
2. Support for vst's. Let me use camel crusher or ztrash and you can leave your fx however you want.
3. This may have been addressed already, but why do i have to choose samples OR fx, the fx task bar is small enough, just leave it there all the time, and put the sampler on toggle.
4. some sort of slicer effect so that i can say that I'm smart for spending more on my Ns6 than the Twitch user spent. also easily handled by incorporating vst's

Prez@Betamorph 1:33 AM - 3 February, 2012

oh yeah and how bout itch analyzes song pitch and pitch diff.

Prez@Betamorph 1:37 AM - 3 February, 2012

To clarify: Id like to see it displayed in the library, as with Virtual DJ. Everytime I load a track, its pitch is displayed, as well as the pitch difference to whatever song is on the deck. makes mixing by pitch so much easier.

They are all far from portable for club use. As for pro quality the only one that would be close is the a&h. The v7's are a great thing however not so practical, portable or all in one. Surely there must be some new controllers on the way.

My Twitch feels just as solid, if not more so, than the CDJ-1000s in this booth right now.

It sounds great.

And it fits in a record bag.

Not sure what more you could want?

Papa Midnight 1:17 AM - 5 February, 2012

The NS6 weighs what... all of 14 pounds (just under 6½ kilos)? Get a road-ready case and that's about 30 pounds? That's even lighter than ONE of my JBL Powered Speakers and not even HALF the weight of my Numark NS7 in it's Road-Ready Glide-Style + Keyboard Slideout case... and I consider my setup to be portable. How much more portable do you need exactly? A wrist-watch? I'll be darned if the V7's or the NS6 aren't pro-quality....

I don't exactly what you want or need....

There is usually not much room left after a couple of turntables and cdj's. It also about lugging something that big to a gig.

I'd hardly consider the NS6 big when, even in a road ready case, it's not even a third of the weight I carry in just the road-ready of my NS7 alone (before we even start talking about speakers, laptop, outboard mixers, etc.).

TristanW 9:07 PM - 5 February, 2012

Actually it's probably perfect for mobile gigs. But not for a couple hours in a club or bar where you would normally have just had a handful of CDs or a dvs set up.

Itch needs current solutions like the denon mc3000, s4 and vci400. It seems to focused on the mobile market and bedroom dj's.

DJ Soup 10:20 PM - 5 February, 2012

I take my ns6 to the club and bars all the time. I bought the magma rolltop backpack and I throw it in there with my laptop and cords. Most places I play at don't even have any gear setup in the booth when I get there but if they do I just move it. If I'm playing with friend, I just have them connect to the other two channels on the ns6 and we use it instead of a club mixer.

DJ Soup 10:23 PM - 5 February, 2012

To get back on topic, I'm not sure what I would want in Itch 2.2 because I'm already happy that video is coming in March. I'll no longer have to hack my ns6 to work with SSL to do my video gigs.

I actually use more than just the ns6, I was never able to hack the platter. You can't use the ns6 platters in SSL but you can use denon platters so I bought the denon sc2000 and made a midi xml file to use it in SSL. Also had to buy a sl2 box to unlock SSL of course. Gunna sell both the denon sc2000 and sl2 box come March. I'll take a pic of my crazy setup next week.

I have the V7 and all I would like is stability with the USB issues. Too many dropouts and nothing else to try but to go buy an expensive Mac which isn't an option because I just got this computer. Shoot, I even get dropouts using a desktop. And yes, I've tried everything numark and serato can think of. I just wish Numark, Serato and PC's will learn how to talk together again because my V7 is only a big paperweight right now. And it is comforting that my problem is not an isolated issue. Just hope they get it.nailed down soon!

You never used an A&H for saying this...
- it has nice A&H writing everywhere on it but it is very far from the A&H quality (mixers line).
- the labels are unreadable in a club area
- the general layout is weird
So it has the portable argument, but not the pro : sorry...

The VCI300 could be, but unfortunately the sound quality is... not on par with.

This sucks. Especially given V7s are among the CPU- lightest ITCH controllers (no mix engine); they have always worked and still work flawlessly on my macs. An option would be to get a second hand 2.2 core2duo macbook pro as a dedicated ITCH machine.

I have used three different a&h mixers primarily the 92. I find them far superior than a pioneer. Part of the reason of trying to find a decent controller is I'm not a fan of the pioneers when playing out. Why is so hard for controllers to match the quality of pots and faders of some of the half decent mixers out there.

Chris Beckler 12:20 AM - 7 February, 2012

Crate-Tree structure... Hate to create extra creates to put same tracks in but filtered. I like to have a Month-crate, then under that one, I would like to create ones where I can drag files from that month so i can have some kind of playlist. Warmup, Peak, Closing, Mix.

Why do we need to create a zillion Crates with no structure...

Paco71 7:06 AM - 7 February, 2012

Mmmm, you are supposed to create your own structure isn't it?

Perhaps it's suit because you are playing one style of songs but for multi style i don't think it's good thing ;)

the better thing, i guess, is to have the possibility of matching your crate on your directory structure, juste a new rule in smart cartes in fact ;)

A good friend of mine is also an A&H lover/user and when I bring the DX to him, after 10min he told me that it was definitely not a A&H product, just some crap with their name. ;-)

phatbob 10:51 AM - 7 February, 2012

If you check the help area, I'd say the DX is actually one of the worst Itch controllers when it comes to hardware, not software issues. Especially considering it's relative unpopularity to begin with.

The problem is, TristanW, that what you want from a controller is probably going to cost at least £1500.

And I think the manufacturers don't see a huge market for £1500 controllers at this time.

Maybe in the future, but not right now.

I agree with this guy. I've played in booths where NOTHING else fits besides the two CDJ 2000's and DJM 900 that is installed. The only thing that you can squeeze in is an X1. And this is a pretty happening club in downtown miami. I think Itch would benefit greatly from an X1 type controller that could be used to plug into a house mixer. I think Itch would get alot more validity from it being used with "pro" gear such as a DJM-900 or DB:4, etc. rather than a VCI-300 being plugged into a channel. It really is NOT a professional solution when you compare the two.

Just playing Devil's advocate here - but if you are using Itch exclusively, you are not doing video - so why is it impossible to burn CDs or make thumb drives for this purpose and just use the CDJ2000s and the DJM900 when you play this club? Yes, you would lose your file structure/crates at first, but the CDJ2ks are pretty burly and I would think that you could get a workflow figured out. Can't you even plug a whole hard drive into those with Rekordbox? I can't use a Pioneer mixer because I am doing video and sold my SL1 to get my 57... so I have to swap out my mixer when a Pioneer is there. But if they only have CDJs and no 1200s, I make it work even though they are not my favorite.

Or like the guy above said, use SSL with the 2000s in HID (if you can get to the back of the mixer to install a Serato box). Just seems silly to want for something as small and limiting as an X1 when you have pretty much any EDM DJs wet dream setup sitting right in front of you?

Eric, I use SSL when I play out in clubs (and bring two USB's as back up always). Itch i use for small gigs where I don't feel like lugging around equipment. I personally prefer playing on 1200's or CDJ's over a controller any day. however, my opinion is that Itch will be considered a level below SSL and Traktor until there is a product that makes it commonly used in a the club scene with the type of gear that is considered "industry standard" much like how you see Traktor being used with 2 X1's on each side of a Xone 92, DB:4, etc. I think it would do alot for the validity of the product and hopefully increased sales, further development, etc. That's just my opinion. I will also add that I truly enjoy my DDJ-S1 and think it's a great piece of gear and would have no problem playing with it in a club ---- but like you stated above, why would I if there's a DJM 900 and CDJ 2000s.

You need to ask Apple for that one...

Dj Funkyness 11:52 AM - 17 February, 2012

The beats of some tracks doesn't fit with the beatgrid, so when I manually set a downbeat every single time to mix my song so acurate possible it changes the BPM between every single downbeat that I have set manually so it makes mixing that song with another song impossible because the BPM keeps changing..

Many people say that in such cases you will need to use the Sync button but I believe this is not an answer to this situation. It would be awesome that when I set the beatgrid manually on places where I want to mix a track, then the program should calculate the BPM through the beatgrid which I have set manually, just the same way when you analyze your tracks automaticly through the program, so it needs to sound like that I'm manually "helping" the program to set a continuous BPM to the track PLUS by setting the beatgrid right, but if the BPM changes on every manually setted downbeat then this beatgrid editing feature is not usefull enough, maybe just enough for using effects but the main concern is mixing tracks perfectly, ONLY THEN will this beatgrid editing feature will be usefull for mixing tracks, not just using Sync, please god..

Papa Midnight 3:12 PM - 17 February, 2012

It's not impossible. Difficult, but not impossible. Not all songs are recorded exactly on beat. Hell, for me, it's not even a problem. Ever had to mix anything before synths started to get popular when groups played and recorded with live bands? That's when the fun starts. I remember when I took the time to manually beat grid "James Brown - The Payback"... holy....

Dj Funkyness 4:00 PM - 17 February, 2012

Oh you're right indeed, I miss explained myself, I didn't ment that it's impossible to mix such tracks, I ment that it's impossible to mix such tracks using that specific method, I just mix such tracks using my ear and my own feek and reflex but if that specific method would work it would awesome you know.

Meh, I'm personally more a fan of the bug fixes. Specifically this one which has been driving me insane:

Quote:

- Fixed crash where using undo (ctrl-z) in conjuction with loading from the prepare crate, would cause a crash.

why don't you try it and find out?

dj_spark 11:14 AM - 1 March, 2012

I know what CTRL+Z is, but into a mixing software, will it cancel your last mix ? your last loaded track ? your last trainweck ? or your last fx ? LOL

Let me bet : tags editing ?

I can respect the fact u don't like midi but for a lot of us midi would make the use of itch much much better and quicker

Doccy 7:05 PM - 12 March, 2012

How about some more effects because I gotta say TRAKTOR beats you guys hands down when it comes to effects. Besides that, I'm quite happy with ITCH.

Simon Love Carter 3:05 AM - 13 March, 2012

1 more powerful FXs (flanger, delay and reverb especially)
2 change green color of played tracks (make a choice from 5 or 6 colors would be great)
3 find function whe you go back to you crate (and not to the complete list)

Yes this is what I want! Key lock should be allowed to pitch change also! I want to play a song 1 step higher but a little slower please add this function on key lock!

So you want a feature to actually change the key of the song live?

Nackt 3:36 AM - 16 March, 2012

Yes! There is no reason you should not be allowed to do it. It is time stretching already, so they can just let you put the pitch up one or down 2! This should be easy to do and I would use it a lot!

Simon Love Carter 5:21 AM - 16 March, 2012

ITCH controllers doesn't have key for this specific function. Maybe SHIFT+PITCH BEND buttons?

Nackt 7:05 AM - 16 March, 2012

Yes that is perfect!

benictrs 2:30 PM - 16 March, 2012

Better effects and i would die for something like the harmonic on the pioneer djm800 that would be cool . Thx.

benictrs 2:33 PM - 16 March, 2012

I almost forget midi mapping for at least the serato video plugin , and the sp6 .thx again

Simon Love Carter 2:34 PM - 16 March, 2012

A better manual beatgrid setup. Sometimens i got big issues trying to make serato to recognize the right tempo my tracks.

Dj Maxxx 6:07 PM - 1 April, 2012

+1 for 2 deck display on my ns6, that's my biggest turnoff right now. pretty much everything else i can find a work-around.

another +1 for better beatgrids/bpm analyzer, itch has a horrible bpm analyzer. It's fine for techno/electronic music, but absolutely fails for hip-hop songs.

DJ-2ni 7:07 AM - 4 April, 2012

better effects is the priority.... 3 years waiting for good effects, its too long...!

Davebw 10:34 AM - 8 June, 2012

-Prob a hardware liitation but the aility to apply effects to a channel that has an external device plugged in.

-Hitting the pause button and slipping the platter bacwards to get the reverse effect like you could on a 1200/1210 would also be nice.

-Nice little iPhone/iPad app to trigger samples (i know this would be some sort of midi based thing) Would be cool if someone made an ipad app that designed as a trigger for samples but it just sent key strokes and then you could just install some wireless keyboard software on your Mac/PC.

-each side of the volume lights to be assigned to the volume of the deck instead of the master volume output.

-fix the crash issue if you unplug your NS6 before you close Itch (i assume this is a given).

I love itch the way it is the above points are just bonus features, it looks and feels so much slicker than VDJ or Traktor. VDJ used to crash on me now and agan but Itch is solid (apart from unplug issue) Keep up the good work Serato, I think by version 3 Traktor people will be very jealous.
oh one last point that smashed the compertition is the face the controllers are used as a secuity dongle so you can install Itch on as many machines as you like without licencing issues and its small enough to download in an emergency and stick on someone elses laptop.

it's not the pc the programmers that wrote itch suck, they should have used the same team that wrote ssl. My nice ns7 is currently being wasted on VDJ it cause it is stable on PC.

dj_spark 12:39 PM - 31 July, 2012

Real compatibility with multiples Itch controler at the same time : NS6 + VFX1 for instance...
And yes it doesn't work as Serato have pretend in numerous subject : buggy as hell !

Serato has never "pretended" anything.

The official company line has ALWAYS been that multiple ITCH controllers connected to the same machine (barring the exception of the NS7+NSFX and the VCI-300 (Mk. 2) + VFX-1) has never been supported and will not be supported.

dj_spark 2:25 PM - 31 July, 2012

May be I misunderstood what I have read over here because english is not my primary language but I was under the impression that it was possible :

serato.com
serato.com
serato.com

VinnyBlanc 2:31 PM - 31 July, 2012

It is possible and it is supported are two very different things. I was running a NS6 and twitch at the same time, but it would crash every once and a while. I would never play out on this setup or even complain, because it's not actually supported.

Maskrider 7:51 PM - 31 July, 2012

I've been using SL and now ITCH these software favors MAC than PC....I've been using PC until i got a MAC this year.

It really is a relief when I changed to mac.

100% true

dj_spark 8:56 AM - 2 August, 2012

The fact is I never had issue with my ThinkPad, and the fight between both controler is obviously software based, not OS or hardware based.

dj lashes 12:25 PM - 2 August, 2012

whatever its based on this is whats up..
I have 4 laptops running windows all above spec all 4 have problems with itch.
I have 1 mac the only problem i ever had was when this guy hit the usb cable.

dj_spark 12:35 PM - 3 August, 2012

Working into IT and softwares I need something more elaborate than "Buy a Mac it's better..."

Already tried on laptop, desktop, XP, W7x86, W7x64 and result is always the same within Itch, I cannot route to channel A, only B, C, D can be used (close to a bug isn't it ?)

don't liked the lay explanation huh? we'll its like this. itch and win don't really work together as good as itch and osx work together b/c of the way win handles system calls through the hierarchy of the os. osx is known to have a faster response(s) to random calls of realtime audio/video. google it, read through these forums and test yourself. the pc vs win discussions are sooooo lame and exhausted at this point. If you don't want to pony up and buy a mac there are things you can do to test osx on a system that arent really supported.

the itch forum is full of crybabies. no disrespect to anybody but it is. thread after thread of crybabies. on w/ my day. :)

Buy a mac and your problems will go away.

I was told that but did not believe it till I purchased a mac.

All my problems went away.
I don't know how, I don't know why and I really don't care.
My problems went away and now i'm happy.

Maskrider 4:56 PM - 5 August, 2012

Coz Mac is the Daddy Mac of Mac Daddy.

DjCity 5:48 PM - 5 August, 2012

I just want a 2 deck mode and BETTER HANDLING OF LARGE CRATES AND LIBRARIES.

Those two modifications would make me happy.

Also, I would like itch to be usable with other controllers like the reloop terminal mix4

Testing this is exactly my everyday work, and yes I know a hackintosh (been there, done that, bla bla), typing this from an iMac @ work.
So I think that I know a thing or two about Mac vs. PC and I wouldn't loose my time posting the issue if it wasn't really one.

Thanks for kicking my ass, but "Buy a Mac" is still not the right answer, sorry guys.

DjCity 5:00 PM - 9 August, 2012

Well, you can use the PC and hope for the best. I did that for about a year till I found out that "just get a Mac" really was the right answer.

I don't want to burst ya bubble but that really is the best answer.

I have a friend that wanted to get the ns6. I told him to get a n4 or the vestax or the reloop because his PC won't be able to handle the ns6. He has a powerful PC that is above specs. He's hardheaded so he got the ns6. 3 Weeks later, he took it back and got the n4 to use DJ intro cause he can't afford a Macbook right now. The ns6 was the nightmare I told him it would be with his PC.

He loves my ns6 but he could not use his because of his computer.

Hope this little story helps.

dj_spark 5:47 PM - 9 August, 2012

With a little more than one year with my PC and my NS6, and numerous co-dj using Mac asking me for the specs of my computer, I guess I am the lucky one...

DjCity 6:22 PM - 9 August, 2012

I was lucky for about a year. Then my luck ran out.

I hope your luck holds dj spark.
