Hi all,

Tonight was my first gig (wedding reception) with the NS7/NSFX/ITCH combo; for the most part, it went pretty smooth.

However, I noticed a few things that kind-of throw me off my flow a couple of times.

Here there are, I wanted to share my findings to see if someone else has had these issues as well:
My specs: ITCH 1.5.0 (15047) / MBP 15"/2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo/ 4GB DDR3 Ram/ Mac OS 10.6.2
#1-) While cued songs were playing in a 4-beat loop (auto loop activated), the loop got deactivated out of the sudden by itself a couple of times. It all happened while I had the songs cued on my headphone, so no dancer were harmed. I can recall this happening twice with different tracks.

#2-) Also, for some strange reason, while I was playing a song for the audience on Deck A and then the deck suddenly stopped ( paused ) on me. Luckily enough, I had a track already cued on Deck B and kept the party going. But it did throw off the dancers because of the abrupt ending. I'm just worried that this could had happened on a, let's say, first dance....no good.

By the way, I have my latency settings at 2ms and platters speed at 45 RPM.

Those were the 2 mayor issues I had tonight with ITCH that I can recall right now. I must say that I'm very happy with the NS7 and the sound that brings out to my pair of Mackie's SRM450 ver1 speakers. Much richer overall sound compared with the other rig I have been using, VDJ with Denon HC4500 Controller/X500 Mixer.

Now, I must be honest to everybody...coming from working with VDJ for the past couple of years...the one thing that I really missed from VDJ tonight was at the time that I was playing dinner music...I missed the auto mix feature, which basically transitions ( 4 sec prior to ending/ fade in-fade out / skipping silence at either beginning or end of tracks ) between songs in a playlist without leaving gaps in the process....Almost forgot, I also missed the sampler ( hopefully, soon to come to an ITCH version near you, right? ).

If someone has had any of the 2 above issues, please share with me and the rest of the community how you've got it fixed.

Salu !!!
