phatbob 1:49 PM - 11 June, 2010
The real killer for me with MixEmergency, especially with the launch of SL 2.0, is the ability to place the different windows where you like on the screen. In 2.0 Video SL just EATS your screen real-estate up.
DJ MDX 3:51 PM - 11 June, 2010
I love the enhancements to recording and it is A LOT faster than it was before - I also like the fact if you have FCS or others, you can also use its Pro Res and others available to you.
djdaddydog 4:48 PM - 11 June, 2010
yeah man,...the #1 thing ME gives are LOTS of options to move stuff around and customize most of the settings
Dj-M.Bezzle 5:08 PM - 11 June, 2010
i think im going to purchase this this weekend
djpuma_gemini 5:25 PM - 11 June, 2010
New recording enhancements, getting it now.
djpuma_gemini 5:25 PM - 11 June, 2010
Hopefully they implemented a way to export only parts of your set and not the entire thing, especially when you record the entire 4 hour set.

They did ;-) - but only in an "iphone style" trim
djpuma_gemini 5:53 PM - 11 June, 2010
damn
carter 6:38 PM - 11 June, 2010
I'm not on ME. Is it a VSL substitute or enhancement?
djpuma_gemini 6:38 PM - 11 June, 2010
Substitute enhancement. not enhancing vsl, but it's an improvement over VSL
carter 6:41 PM - 11 June, 2010
I think I got that. So if someone had SSL and had the choice of doing video they could buy either one? Or would they still need the VSL plugin too?
djpuma_gemini 6:47 PM - 11 June, 2010
Either one. I own both, but to be honest I haven't used vsl since 1.1.
djpuma_gemini 6:47 PM - 11 June, 2010
I need the recording function and ME has that.

exactly carter. you just need the 57 or a midi mixer & serato and it's up to you to use ME or VSL. you don't need to buy VSL to run ME.
carter 6:57 PM - 11 June, 2010
Hmm...might have to look at that. Any laying avi or mpeg files back through it with success?
lvmez 7:21 PM - 11 June, 2010
i'm gonna have to try it out. i'm so used to vsl..
skinnyguy 7:40 PM - 11 June, 2010
you'll still need vsl installed (even if demo only) to import your mp4 files into ssl.

ooh, it has using album art embedded in the mp3 as your visual. i remember that being suggested here...
Dj Ace 1:35 PM - 12 June, 2010
That sounds sweet but i like being able to control EVERYTHING from my 57...
DJCheLu 4:43 PM - 12 June, 2010
Thats it im trying the demo. Its just so hard to spend another 200 on a program. Hopefully its jsut as easy to use as vsl. The only feature i wanted on vsl was an random transition selector. ME has text and image effects right?
marx 5:22 PM - 12 June, 2010
Yup
Funkytownstopsix 6:39 PM - 12 June, 2010

That's been my issue I rarely touch my laptop, now If my 57 would work with that program then it would be a wrap. Really I would feel sad about that since I paid all that money for my 57 and I do still kinda feel sad as I could use a regular mixer and ME and saved 1200..... damn damn damn.......ME and Serato should really team up to make the best dj software ever... They together could easily set the standards.
marx 6:45 PM - 12 June, 2010
Actually its operated from a former serato employee (from what I've been told). So its actually something vsl should of already had :-(
Funkytownstopsix 6:57 PM - 12 June, 2010
yeah I heard that tooo but money is money...... they could make many more sales if it worked with the 57.... it would simply be the shit...... I am sure both can come to an agreement on that... as they both wold benefit from it.
Res-Q 7:13 PM - 12 June, 2010
If ME is run by a former vsl employee its a shame SL let go someone with so much coding talent. They should have given him a raise and keep him on the VSL project because that guy alone really seems to have video on lock.
Or serato could buy ME and merge it with Vsl. That would be dope.

i really hope serato is thinking about this...

If Serato buys ME and merges it into VSL. A lot of you would have lost $200.

i certainly hope not...part of what makes ME so good and why i use it is because it is NOT a serato product.

i am sorry but serato has NOT put out the best products of late. i am not going to list the multiple fkups they have done or the issues i have found.
so far i have found no problems with ME.

a monopoly in this industry or fewer companies breeds staleness and less ingenuity.
keep the competitiveness.
ME is beating VSL on many many many levels. i'd hate to see them lose that edge because they merged.


that would be about as shit as BF going the route of COD...unfortunately it is.
popnwave 4:47 PM - 13 June, 2010
So ME runs on it's own? If it doesn't how does it beat SSL if SSL is needed for it to function?

ME can work on it's own but it comes into it's best when paired with ssl.
the only time i use it without vsl is when i am doing backgrounds for people.
i would never vj audio and video with just ME...i wouldn't even know how that would work if it can be done.

yea, that's the crap end of it.

but it was TOTALLY worth the 179$.
i bought it for video and audio set recording but in the end i have barely used it for that.
even so, i am much happier with ME.
i haven't dived too far into the program to be an expert but the biggest thing for me has been the transitions. they are great and the fact that you can set it to auto switch random transitions is excellent. the best part of that is that you don't have to use every transition to auto-switch, you can turn the ones you don't like off and it won't use them.

i also like the gui style.
this is something i wish ssl would adapt, movable and attachable windows. what if i don't want those round decks? why do i need that? i should be able to turn them off, move it aside or even resize it.
the resizable 3 video screen is nice compared to the preset vsl one. what's the point of a big area that the images are set in if they don't fill it? why is the image still small? not a good use of space.
djdaddydog 5:18 PM - 13 June, 2010
right on tomato
Dj Intel Army 5:27 PM - 13 June, 2010
Will the crossfader on the ttm57sl work with ME
im looking to make the plunge
dvdjcrush 5:33 PM - 13 June, 2010
yes i've had ME for about a year and just starting messing around with it since 1.5 and i like it alot...
djpuma_gemini 8:06 PM - 13 June, 2010
crossfaders and upfaders work.
You can also choose to link them with the audio/video, so say you get a song that the crowd sings along with and you want to drop the volume, you can choose to have the video stay up and audio fader, or not. Just like vsl.
Dj-M.Bezzle 8:55 PM - 13 June, 2010
i was going to grab it this weekend but my smash vids account ran out so that money went there instead, mabye next seekend
tomatoslice 10:10 PM - 13 June, 2010
i like the video crossfade feature of the volume controls...
where you don't have to use the 57 crossfader at all if you don't want and the vid still has a "crossfade" effect, based simply on the position of the volume faders.
DJ WyTE 4:20 AM - 14 June, 2010
Yeah all i know is i said wow and i'm focused on buying it this week. Sucks because I thought VSL was #1....
Henry GQ 4:20 AM - 14 June, 2010
ME is super nice. but i havent used it since serato 2.0 came out with vsl 1.2

simply because of the spacebar feature.. hitting the spacebar to make vsl smaller and the library bigger is huge for me.

ME def crushes VSl. and now with the text thingy it def kills it. and with all the efx and transitions.. yuh. and being able to get new plug ins ever week or so.. what else can u say ?
djchope 10:31 AM - 14 June, 2010
this is probably a stupid question...
but can it be used like vsl?
or how can we run it?through serato
Dj Nyce 12:40 PM - 14 June, 2010
Quote:

it is a stand alone program that can be controlled by midi or by serato. when it is being controlled by serato, you'll need the vsl plugin enabled (doesn't have to be running and the demo is fine). control via serato is seamless.

there are few videos on the site and the demo is free.
phatbob 1:12 PM - 14 June, 2010
Henry GQ: I know what you mean about the spacebar thing, that's why I like ME, I just have my preview windows as small as they can go, and shrink the controls too, stick them over on the right at the top of the library, and then I've got loads of library visible.

I guess if you did that, but put them at the bottom of the screen, you could still use the spacebar thing too.

My ME windows aren't big enough to really hide any of my library...

I'll upload a pic of my layout at my gig later, for those who are curious how it fits.
Henry GQ 2:43 PM - 14 June, 2010
yeah please upload a pic.

but i do love ME!! especially 1.5!
Funkytownstopsix 3:31 PM - 14 June, 2010

is that a question?

ME, at the very least, can be controlled by the upfaders and crossfader of the 57.
Kenny Q 4:45 PM - 14 June, 2010
I might look into getting ME.
How do some of you have it set up with the Nanokontrol?
Dj Nyce 4:53 PM - 14 June, 2010

there are also options in ME to utilize the mixer's contour and link/unlink audio/video to the up faders. you can also link the ME's xfader to the mixer's cue fader, or upfaders
Henry GQ 5:19 PM - 14 June, 2010
yeah i dont use the ttm57. but it does work with the 68.

it gives u more control than vsl. period. pick up a midi controller and prepare urself for the next level
Funkytownstopsix 5:40 PM - 14 June, 2010
fucccck,,,,that's why I brought the 57.... I will have to really debate this one in my mind. To me a waste of money buying the 57 if I buy ME.... oh well another pot to piss in.... Thanks Henry.
Henry GQ 5:51 PM - 14 June, 2010
i think u can still use ME with the ttm
Funkytownstopsix 7:53 PM - 14 June, 2010
Oh I could use the 57 but only as a mixer but my B1-B6 buttons for cues would not work as a matter of fact none of the features would work so I am gathering. So I would have to use a midi to control all other aspects such as cues loops so I would have double the learning curve as I have to learn ME and a midi control..... This is why they(VSL & ME) should merge the 57 is a big ass midi mixer... There should be no reason that you could not assign everything in ME to that mixer.......... Hell that would greatly help the sales of that mixer in my eyes. But Rane would make that money.....
Niro 8:06 PM - 14 June, 2010
You can use all of the functions of the 57 cues and loops, just not the video group to control effects and transitions.

Don't wait.

If you want to record your sets now, do it.

If you record them another way, don't do it.

The recording feature was the main reason I jumped on ME.

yea, don't wait.

i have been happy with ME for quite awhile.
it was better than vsl when i got it and it still is.
even with all the newer features of vsl (which don't always work), ME is better.
vsl would have to do almost a complete re-haul to catch up.
they would have to add a lot of features, then they would have to beta test it and release it, unbroken hopefully.
all that will and would take some time.
there are just soooo many things...

sorry serato, just telling it like it is. i do hope you catch up tho

my simple and basic setup.

this is still on 192.
i don't find at that necessary to see all my tracks, so my vid screen is huuuuge.
the word "Cosmos" looks strange because it is rotating on it's z axis.
by the way daddydog that is a good transition for juggles
djdaddydog 2:00 AM - 15 June, 2010
looks pretty smooth tomato,...mines looks way too busy. i spend too much time worrying. 25% on the mix, 25% on the efx, 25% on the transitions, & 25% trying to control everything...it drives me crazy. i need to simplify my ish down. everyone with ME put a screen shot of your layout! i'm sure a majority of the ppl's set up is going to be different.

I think I like this clean set up for now - Lets see if this works - www.facebook.com

If it doesn't please let me know and I'll host it else where - I just can't remember all my passwords to all these hosting sites...lol

Btw, Text and Output window are obviously not normally in there as you'll understand why...lol
tomatoslice 3:43 AM - 15 June, 2010
yea, it worked MDX...that's a crazy one. i like it.
you have so much space to work with, you on a 17"?
i imagine that text control is temporary but you can move it all the way to the right.
seeing yours makes me realize i have a lot of space by the tracklist that i can use.
think i will do a redesign.

yours is fine d-dog. i tried setting mine up like yours but being on 192 didn't look as nice.
what you have clean enough and it works it's purpose. that's what matters most.
i like that you can see the hardware controls. i don't use the default and would like to access it faster for changes.
one thing that could help in worrying about transitions is setting them to random and turning off the ones you don't like.
DJ MDX 4:11 AM - 15 June, 2010
Thanks tomatoslice and yes, its a 17". Yeah I can move the text all the way to the right and it does look a lot better if I were to keep it there. The output window would obviously not be there but on its proper separate monitor - thats just said for those that are not familiar with the set up and are browsing for info ;-)

I originally wanted to use prepare but it makes my track scroll inoperable on the 57 and I need that to scroll thru tracks - I believe the prepare option gives you the largest amount of vertical space.

I agree there is a lot of space to the right of the tracklist if you don't use all the extra's or just limit the options to the bare basics you need - which is what I do.
phatbob 12:54 PM - 15 June, 2010
Interesting to see the different layouts people are using. I guess a lot of the reasoning is hardware dependent; I use a 15" MBP, a PadKontrol, and Pioneer 7/800 mixers exclusively, and my layout reflects the type of controls they offer. I can see how 57 users would need something different.

If you are considering ME, I would definitely suggest trying the demo to see how it works for you. It fitted my needs when I first started doing video as I didn't have a midi mixer, and the one-button auto xfade let me use a footswitch to fade video.

I bought both VideoSL and ME, and I don't regret either of those purchases. I think if you are serious about video work it is best to have a selection of tools at your disposal. Every system you use, every night you do, will be different.

On my current laptop the sweet spot is SL 1.9.2 and ME, but that could all change with a new release from either company.
djpuma_gemini 4:11 PM - 15 June, 2010
Currently using 1.9.2 and ME as well. Staying away from 2.0 until they fix the bpm issue.
Kenny Q 6:46 PM - 15 June, 2010
What BPM issue?
Dj Nyce 8:20 PM - 15 June, 2010

What BPM issue?


when analyzing files, ssl 2.0 has been very inconsistent with bpm's. if you don't restrict it to a range there's a 50% chance that your bpm will be wrong when analyzing. i don't think its big enough of any issue to not use 2.0 though. fuck that...using 1.9.2 is like using windows 95.
djpuma_gemini 8:41 PM - 15 June, 2010
You can still use 2.0, but I don't build overviews with 2.0

+1 - I own both and use both as well depending on my need and situation.
djpuma_gemini 12:56 AM - 16 June, 2010
I use both too, but only use vsl when I forget to load up me and accidentally hit the video button in Sratchlive.

Ok, jokes aside, they are both good and if VSL would have a recording function I would probably not need me, but I do, so therefore I use ME
djbookz 9:42 PM - 16 June, 2010
can you assign batch ambient loops/graphics In ME? i hate assigning each and every mp3 a graphics one by one in VSL, its a a pain in the ass.
skinnyguy 9:52 PM - 16 June, 2010
can't remember, but you can have ME pick randomly from a clip bank for mp3 files.
skinnyguy 9:54 PM - 16 June, 2010
last night, i played a hawaiian song during background and it happened to pull a clip with surfing on it.

and later during dancing, i had a request for some old skool breakdance stuff so i played planet patrol and it pulled a clip with some breakdancing on it.

ME knows..... =P
phatbob 10:12 PM - 16 June, 2010
The clip bank is very useful, just load it up with generic stuff and off it goes, you don't even need to have the window onscreen. I wish it could hold a few more clips though, like at least 20...
djpuma_gemini 10:21 PM - 16 June, 2010
I gotta try that clip bank, I didn't want it to pull videos and have mouths movin all over the place.
mcmiked97 1:49 PM - 17 June, 2010
Just curious is ME better/worse than VSL in resource-intensiveness? In other words, does it perform better with lesser hardware?
Marine 7:28 AM - 18 June, 2010
What settings in the advance panel does everyone have. I'm noticing with Me the wave forms are a little choppy especially when scratching. I have a macbook pro 17 inch old syle 8600gt graphics card with 2.5 ghz intel core 2 duo, any suggestions Thanks in advance

Funkytownstopsix 5:04 PM - 18 June, 2010
ok I tried demo last night how do you guys keep Me on top of slv anytime i click on anything it goes away. Another thing am I correct that I have to choose VSL in order for effect to work with 57 that was the only way I got it to work... At work can't get to the fourms or I would be there.... the picture did not look as good to me but that might just be the big ass demo on the screen. any other tips please tell...
djpuma_gemini 5:44 PM - 18 June, 2010
the thumbtack on the righthand bottom corner.

I had the same issue twice until I remembered.
djdaddydog 6:30 PM - 18 June, 2010
yeah what puma said, also there's a setting to disable conflicting shortcut keys between ME & VSL
tomatoslice 5:25 AM - 19 June, 2010
the effects are on a tab in the ME control window.

we should probably make a lil screenshot that explains what everything is and does. the stuff can be a bit deep.
Dj Ace 5:56 AM - 19 June, 2010
Mix Emergency sound really tight! but i really do trust the serato guys (especially Nathan) Video SL may be behind ME in terms of features at this point but i really think VSL is about to take off. I may be wrong but ONE reason ME has advantages over VSL is to the fact that ME is MAC only. Programming for one platform (especially the MAC's) makes a BIG difference. One thing I have not heard many people discussing is the way the internal and (external using the 57sl) audio effects affect the video the feature is really tight especially using filters and flangers! If you already have VSL and need the recording feature only on a MAC Screenflow does a great job for now and is really useful program. if you $@#% money then get both cant go wrong! Patience guys VSL is going to be rediculous especially when/if merged with the bridge
phatbob 9:29 AM - 19 June, 2010
That may be true Ace, but reading the forums I kinda get the feeling that VideoSL is 'effectively' mac only anyway... If you don't want to spend your whole life tweaking your computer! ;-)

yea, when? when will it take off? the next release?
as far as i can tell serato is increasingly putting out broken products. they are getting waaaay toooo ahead of themselves. ME has been better since it's first release, keeps getting better AND works. serato has a loooong way to go to catch up and have items to fix before they should look at new features.
i will believe it when i see it.
but hey, if VSL does come out better i WILL go back.

... One thing I have not heard many people discussing is the way the internal and (external using the 57sl) audio effects affect the video the feature is really tight ...


it does have the ability to link effects to audio but i don't use effects so i don't know how well it works. the way effects work in velocity and bass is very different than VSL, you don't just have a knob that controls depth.
Henry GQ 4:08 PM - 19 June, 2010
i agree with mr slice.

it seems like something happened at serato. whether some employees left...
or their focus isnt on being stable anymore... they might feel like they are falling behind other dvs systems... i dunno.
but ME is crackin!
and vsk needs to step it up, only reason why i been choosing vsl over my ME latel is because of the txt thingy and the fact that u can hit the spacebar and it gives u more library room.
but ME fixed all that with 1.5
im still a little iffy with the way ME hides itself when u want more room. but whatever, they might work on that
skinnyguy 7:07 PM - 19 June, 2010
gotta admit, that's the one thing vsl has over me. linking vid fx to audio fx like echo and flange.

Just got my ME.... new effects make me feel brand new. I will try and use it tonight at a gig. I have not read a damn thing but I am sure I can get up and going. I wish I knew an easier way to turn off effects... I think I will have to use a midi for that. Any tips I can use tonight anyone.....
Dj Nyce 10:26 PM - 20 June, 2010
effects in ssl and me is so much easier with a midi controller.

tips
throw some video loops or some qtz's in the media panle and any songs you play tonite will get a random one.

feel free to turn off any of the windows and move the ones you need where ever you like them best. i only use the mix emergency and control windows. i'll toggle effects on and off. it is alot easier to setup effect presets.

also try some effects using manual, velocity or bass for parameter 1.

*ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE*

I recorded my full set from saturday and it was 3.5 hours long,

The weird thing is my audio stopped recording at about 1.5 hours or so, but the video went on.

I rendered to mov from 1hour to 2 hours and the video is there, but audio cuts out.
Anyone record a set longer than 1.5 hours with ME1.5 and have same issue.
Dj Nyce 11:45 PM - 20 June, 2010
definitely post on the me forum. the longest set i've recorded was about 1.2 horas
Millz 12:21 AM - 21 June, 2010

@ Dj Nyce, I wish i would have read that before I set up last night...I had that problem and it sucked.. all kinds of shit was going wrong but hey that's what I get for trying to use it at a gig right after buying it the same damn day... Let me say I should have brought it a long time ago all the effects made for better veiwng and more fun for me. I have yet to record..but can't wait to do a sample to compair to screenflow. On my way to Vegas in the morning so that will have to wait.. Thanks guys....

BTW,,,,Millz and Dogdaddy keep up the good work on your edits.. I have many Millz edits..... with that JACK MIllz the big dog.....LOL WTF....DMX gota love.... Dogdaddy can you teach me how to scratch.....you got skills boy.... can you do that on a cdj 1000 if so put on up on youtube.

dumb question but do the 57 audio effects work on videos w/ ME? like echo out / roll etc?
skinnyguy 8:33 PM - 23 June, 2010
echo out, no. roll, maybe...? haven't tried it yet...
Funkytownstopsix 11:23 PM - 25 June, 2010
Ok now that I have ME I can safely say it was a good investment. Yet I did have a few problems. If I had audio that was linked to video in VSL then the media would not auto load the predefined videos from the media bank, which just put a black screen up.... This was a pain and really still is I just have to get use to the new program Transitions are kinda like auto mix until you move it all the way over it does not complete the transition to like half a second. Gota get use to that. I have yet to record because when I looked at the fact that I cant add markers or add video inside of the video I was like fuck it. Screen-Flow excels in that area so much you can do before the video is converted add text and whatever. I know about the quality but not an issue unless I was doing a demo for some major person or club then I would use ME for that. So as of now I use me for effects and use Screenflow to record,,,,, I recommend both....

so does that mean they dont have, or its a really delayed "scratch" transition?

IE, doing cuts with videos that mirror your fader.

One awesome plus about recording with ME.

For my demos I spin on my mac pro (renders faster ME 1.4 at least)
I don't even have a secondary screen opened. I have just my serato and me on my screen and it will record either way.

This is great for making demos at home and you don't have a spare tv or something near your setup.
DJ WyTE 10:38 AM - 26 June, 2010
awesome..
Funkytownstopsix 1:19 PM - 26 June, 2010
@ JC they really don't mirror your fader at least not on mine on vsl the transition goes with fader so u have complete control. Not d case in ME u control to a point and it does the rest. I hope that makes sense!

the crossfader is mirrored for mine. it's mirrored perfectly actualy
you must be in one of those other crossfader configurations. there are a couple of them. you may want to check that the proper items are linked.
it took me a bit of testing o find the config i like.
if you need a will post my setup. i probably will anyway, i've modded it.

i have no idea why your linked video to audio isn't woking. mine is fine.
it's actually better than vsl's.
ooooh, i bet i know....somewhere in preferences there is a setting for just audio tracks. i don't remember what it is but there are a few options like leaving the previous video up or auto loading one from the media bank. there may be another setting you need to turn on.

as far as the media bank is concerned , it is a lil silly that when you load a vid that it looks blank. what you have to do is screenshot it and that is what appears in the bank.
Ddog probably knows it, he uses the media bank more than i.
although, since i just remember that ME will auto load something from the media bank i will definitely use it tonight.

this program takes some getting used to.
it's not that it's hard to figure out, it's just that there is sooo much to it.

Funkytownstopsix 4:45 PM - 26 June, 2010
take iris worp when I use it I would like that transition to go slow with my movements on the fader but as soon as I side a quarter of the way it finishes the transition for me. So yes show me your set up.. Problem there is not much documentation on the program.... like it said you could save your text and what not so you don have to keep typing them. I don't see where to do that. I have to type whatever every time and they dont give two lines like in VSL... not tripping though it is way much better than VSL effects alone. as a matter of fact I only use it for now.
Funkytownstopsix 4:48 PM - 26 June, 2010
oh and as far as linked vids in VSL not playing in ME.... well the media bank only works with songs that don't have linked vids... but linked vids don't so i will play with it in a few as I have a gig tonight and I want it to work flawless.
djpuma_gemini 5:01 PM - 26 June, 2010
mine doesn't finish for me. There are times when I thought I had the fader all the way over and i look up at the screen and it's either small, in a group of 4 or whatever other transition I might have been in. ME has never finished my transitions for me.
skinnyguy 7:11 PM - 26 June, 2010
if you wanna link specific clips to specific mp3's, you have to do that in ME. remember, it's NOT vsl so it doesn't read vsl info. it reads ME info.
Funkytownstopsix 7:14 PM - 26 June, 2010
I should say not equivalent for the fader it should be more control share your settings. I have to take it all the way to make it change complete but not as much control over transition in IMO... Look at maybe your just use to it but mid way works fine half of mid way ok the rest no control.... besides completing the by moving fader all the way to right or left.

no i dont want to do that, the media clip thing is fine with me like you said since it's not vsl then it should just load from media clip but it does not when the song has been tagged to a video in vsl. to me it should not recognize that I linked in VSL and the media should just load auto...
phatbob 8:15 PM - 26 June, 2010
ME will always load a video which has been attatched to an audio file in VSL by default, as I believe it should do.

If I have attached a file in serato it stands to reason I would also want it to load in ME, surely?

Should you want to override that on a one-off basis you can drag the video to the ME preview...
Funkytownstopsix 8:21 PM - 26 June, 2010
no override i want it to load the video and if it doesn't then take it from media bank. I fast mix also the vids don't load as fast as vsl... Yet in still I haven't used vsl since I had it. just don't fast mix anymore.
Funkytownstopsix 8:21 PM - 26 June, 2010

+1000.......

If you Haven't figured it out that is why you only see these programs working flawlessly on mac's. Yet that is not the issue, SLV claims to work on PC's with certain specs and it does not. I took like a year and some change for them to change their statements on the subject. But I brought it when it first came out and it never really worked well on pc for me until I brought my HP. Now with the updates it does not work nearly as well.... So I brought a mac and am thinking about buying another Mac. No guess work involved if it's going to work because it will..... Trust and believe when I say I am a PC guy to the end but hell I don't fight senseless wars anymore I only want what works and right now that's a MAC,ME,Screenflow and VSL. All which work on the MAC platform only and flawlessly at that... I am held hostage by Mac until something happens on the PC side..

Before ME i kinda stayed away from playing tracks with no associated video because it was annoying to load the track switch crates find a visual switch back find my next track while EQin beatmatching ect ect, so i have ME set to load a random vid from my samples and i jokingly start playing thong song.....ME randomly picked a clip of snookie from jersay shore dancing and as soon as the hook came in "let me see that thoooong" i look at th screen and its snookie doing flips with her dress over her head exposin her undys......CLASSIC good job ME

One new thing I'm really happy to have in ME 1.5 is delay compensation. Great for screens and/or distribution systems that have latency.
DJ TURN SIGNAL 4:23 PM - 30 June, 2010
what is delayed compensation?

Is ME 1.5 the program peolpe are talking about that does not hog up your processor. Thx DJs
DouggyFresh 5:39 PM - 30 June, 2010
Quote:

That's when the bar puts you on the payroll and you have to pick up your checks every two weeks. Just kidding. Delay compensation is when the screens have a delay (due to signal processing/conversion/cable length) it allows you to adjust the video delay so that it will actually be a couple frames ahead of the audio playing and the video will be synced well. I've been a VSL user for about 7 months, but now I have Mac OS I'm going to switch to ME - I have tons of audio only tracks and I totally love the automatic video assignment (which for now is just my logo). Seems to use less processor power as well, and the recording feature seems like a big plus.
DJ TURN SIGNAL 7:02 PM - 30 June, 2010
thats funny. I have have been hearing about this auto assigning. I hope VL will have it soon. Thx for the explaination. Makes sence and is a big plus since video is different then audio. I think I will use EM just to record my sets and still rock the 1200 turn tables.

Ever thought of the possibility that this is a user fault? Most likely you have chosen the wrong export format.
Funkytownstopsix 1:08 PM - 21 July, 2010
Come on nik39 as the user why you think I am asking.... it could be but really I use same export settings for all my vids. I only have this issue with exported ME videos they play fine and look good but just don't stream. True this is the first video I recorded with ME and exported but I have tried diffrent containers and diffrent settings all of which did not work. It's narrowed down to ME becasue any other vid I use will stream. So I made sure to take the time to set it up for streaming on each of the exports h.264 in mp4 or mov container. As a matter of fact I have tried for 3 days before I posted this. SO Yes it could be user error if so where could the error be. FYI I use the same settings as I do in screenflow, handbrake, Super C, Media Coder... and many other converters that I use... What I will do when I get home is use screen flow to make a vid to show exactaly how I export then you can tell me what I am doing wrong...if anything.

i see what you mean. the first vid appears to stream, but it just pre-loads indefinitely and never actually plays. the second plays within seconds (and loads in the background).

i'll upload something from me and see what happens.

They don't have to do that all they have to do is implement recording of video and add better effects and there would be no need for ME. My bad the for those who didn't buy the Proprietary Equipment i.e the ttm57 sl boxes to run SLV there is a great need. As I see it not worth buying them out because at least 80 percent if not more of the people own the preparatory equipment anyway. Most have ME because it records with no strain to your computer and the rest have it for effects. You gota love the little giant in this case (ME) they are making money off of someone else software the data base part anyway. If ME came up with their own database to add songs the Serato would have a problem... then they would by them out. Food for thought.

You said it might be a user issue so I posted what I did so you can tell me if I done wrong. Although I have been posting streaming vids for a while now I don't clam to know everything and honestly I think I am going crazy because it should stream....

it is just that simple and that basic.

plus, one company creates lack of choice and lack of competition...stale.
and what if they put out a bad product? ur fkt.

every time me comes out it's better than the last, not true AT ALL with ssl and vsl...
if anything it should be the opposite, inklen should buy serato.

well does ME consumes a lot of memory? i try it last night with this version 1.5 and my visuals aids are stuttering..i i use vsl its normal...:( plus my MBP is getting hot like from 60% to 70%
Funkytownstopsix 1:09 PM - 22 July, 2010
There is a problem here's what Nick from Inklen wrote me. FYI a very helpful dude, I say that because I emailed him from work and left before I got an answer so he came to the forums and found me and PM'ed me... Costumer Service to the max. He told me the fix will be in the next update but there is not time on that but he has sent me some stuff to fix my issue once I confirm it to work when I get home I will post a link for download to you all.... NIK39 not a user error... : )

Hey, not sure if you got my e-mail reply to your support request - we've been having some issues with our outgoing e-mail over the last few days.

Anyway, I've managed to reproduce the streaming issue, and it's something that I will need to look in to further before fixing it for MixEmergency 1.6.

In the meantime though, if you have QuickTime Pro (I'm not sure if this works with QuickTime X, but it may) you need to open the movie you exported from MixEmergency in QuickTime (assuming you exported it with the "Fast Start" option). Go to "Save As...." in the QuickTime menu. Save the video as a "Self-contained" movie.

This should flatten the movie and correctly enable the "fast start" internet streaming for the newly saved file.

Also, I noticed in your video that you were using 24kHz uncompressed audio. You would be better off (i.e. the file you need to upload should be smaller) if you were to use 44kHz with a compressed format, such as 160+ kbps AAC.

I hope this information helps.

If you have any further questions, just send me an e-mail to contact@inklen.com.

Regards,
Nick

My aplogies. I thought ME uses Quicktime to encode and therefor expected that it could not screw up. Looks like I was wrong ;)

Nik39 all the times you have been right you were due to be wrong one day : ) just dont make it a habbit. Aplogy is accpeted but not needed I thought same as you... : ) I thought because no one ever posted an issue about it, that it was me. Alos I thought surely by now if there was an issue it would have been known... Guess I am the only ME streamer around. Nik39 keep up the good work with scratchtools.....

FYI anyone use the DVInputStream.... That's where you can have a webcam as the output. I have to cams that work for me using it anyone know of a good usb cam that works well in dark lighiting. If you have not tried this it's pretty cool..

did you have to run your vid thru quicktime? i exported a test yesterday and it does the same thing (not stream).
Dj Nyce 12:53 PM - 23 July, 2010
also having effects parameters controlled by position, velocity or bass is amazing. i'll throw on the gloom effect and have it controlled by the bass. it looks dope.
Funkytownstopsix 1:43 PM - 23 July, 2010
Here use this.... www.inklen.com this will fix your problem... It will only work for .mov open the program and drag on to program(FlattenMovie) it will take a few seconds,,, then you should be able to stream the vid. Basically it rewrites something and forces the movie to stream. Also if your using jw player be sure to use acc. I uploaded the vids they would stream but with no sound because it did not recognize it.

As far as parameters I didn't use any,, that's another video,, maybe you could do it Nyce since you will be able to steam. I only use crossfader effects that alone sold me on using Me. Recording is also the bomb feature. My next video will be about the DVInputStream showing how it works and just how cool it is.
dj vegas 11:37 PM - 25 July, 2010
i just got it and love it!!! i mix with my up faders so to me it kicks ass!!! Random transitions are sick and being able to have auto load from preselected layover videos is awesome as well. Its a no brainer 1.5 is just the shit!
GRiNDBoX 3:28 AM - 26 July, 2010
for real josh..:)
DJCheLu 6:40 PM - 2 August, 2010
All right i dled the ME 1.5 demo and have been using it every 30 mins for two hours now LOL love the demo run out time.

Thing I really like:
Great text effects and ability to output to main window and change the color to pretty much anything.
The media bank is dope.
The transitions are are awesome and much better then VSL, the plugins options is great hopefully i can add Melt to the trans list.
Mixlaunch feature, I like the fact that it relaunches ME automatically, all though it would seem logical if ME crashed then SSL would probably be crashing too but im probably wrong.
The message window with error reporting letting me know that DJ Cutts video has bad keyframes :).

Things I cant figure out:
How do you assign the auto crossfade to left and right keyboard keys?
How do you make the random transition selection refresh automatically?
How do you use an image? Clicked everything but cant figure it out, is it drag and drop? Images and Text cant be saved for later?

Things I really like VSL has over ME:
Dual deck separate images.
Two text option.
No need for a separate midi controller to control parameters on my 57.

Both have the stuttering text scroll problem.
Joshua Carl 7:19 PM - 2 August, 2010
I might be alone here...
but am I the only one who might find the media bank useless?

on vsl, if I have to play a audio with no video (which MAYBE happens once a month)
I have a crate labeled (stock).
these are all videos that have zero relevance to anything.
Fatboy slim- right here right now - gangster tripping;
ya know... all those random edm videos.

I suppose if your still builing a collection and are missing that many videos
that something like that is ideal.
but for anyone who has a been at it for a while...how often would you use that
over the simple drag and drop in VSL?

dont get me wrong, the day I get my MBP, Im buying this too.
I just dont understand why so many people are on about the media bank?
skinnyguy 7:20 PM - 2 August, 2010
random transitions change each time a new file is loaded to a deck

i believe loading an image is drag n drop, if i remember right...

nope. just last file used.

stuttering text isn't a problem. it's a feature. =P
skinnyguy 7:21 PM - 2 August, 2010
with the media bank, you don't have to drag n drop anymore. one less step for lazy asses.

well it's helpful if you don't have all your audio linked to your videos... it has saved me a few times as I go so fast loading acapellas and insturmentals which are not linked as I do that on the fly....... I think the album art feature is better than the media bank.

Thats the feature that made me buy ME, its a life saver. Im in several audio only pools and play alot of breakbeat\house\electro or remixed stuff that dosent have video so with VSL i would have to load the audio, switch crates, find a visual, load the visual, go back to the original crate adn start looking for the next track while beatmatching.....with ME i just load the song and no matter what a song loads

well in the transition effects try to find the bottom one i think there is a random load..in there everytime you mix it automatically loads different transitions per mix..:)
DJCheLu 3:06 AM - 3 August, 2010
^^thank you sir, i was just running through all the transitions on the same song. Didnt realize it was just waiting for me to actually mix lol. Read the manual and still didnt see a way to assign the auto transition to a keyboard key.

Whenever I set the transitions to random in ME when I move the crossfader to the middle it cycles through all the plugins I have checked is there a way for the random function to only switch plugins when crossfader is moved all the way to the other side?

the random function is either on or off. you cannot fine tune any of its settings. try setting 'contour min ME to use your mixer. then adust your mixers contour. that might help.

Yeah, but ME should only switch the random transition if you load a new video, right?
Marine 8:17 PM - 10 August, 2010
Its switching through all my transitions without loading a new video. I don't understand why. As soon as I move my crossfader over it starts cycling through all the transitions
Dj-M.Bezzle 8:25 PM - 10 August, 2010
you prob have it midi mapped to the transitions and not the fader

I figured it out today using the demo. Man i really like some of the features ME has i may be turning to it once i pick up some cash.

To assign it to a hot key go to mix emergency preferences under the transitions tab in the autofade box. You can assign a single keyboard button to it. It took me a few minutes to get used to pushing just one button instead of left or right like i do in vsl.

I think he means its easy to edit bring it into Final Cut Pro as you don't have to render the recording as it's a Pro Res File. Then you can edit and put it in any format you want pro res is to big to keep for gigs but the best thing to work with in Final Cut for me anyway.

Today I figured out to assign the keyboard by using apple/command + key. SInce the left keys are already mac functions like copy and paste I went with comma since its right about the right command button.

@djcsmv that's a pretty good compromise, i am going to trains myself to have my DJM-800 setup and the backup mode if I am mixing in the club w/o my midi ability. I might try using that combo too.
DJCheLu 7:22 PM - 21 September, 2010
Why is the recording of ME smooth like butter especially the text scrolling, but the output to the external has slightly jerky text scrolling?? Why cant that smoothness be transfered to the output? Just curious
Funkytownstopsix 7:37 PM - 21 September, 2010
I think becasue it layerd. If you ever noticed you can take all text out before you render as well as pictures. Mine is pretty smooth as far as text, my issue on my last recording is that it became out of sync for whatever reason.
DJMark 11:22 PM - 21 September, 2010
Also when you're recording, the rendering happens later and can take as long as it needs to be smooth (no dropped frames). In real-time, frames might need to be dropped due to resource limitations.

I reported a recording error, and sent the files to nick at ME. He found the what caused the error and is fixing it for the next version so maybe it will solve your out of sync problem too.

There are VERY few instances where I use key lock ... I think I use it one mix per month ... MAYBE, then it's off after the mix in question is done lol. And I'm on 1200s as well...

you can't do picture in picture natively. you'll need to use pip or camtwist (although i can't seem to get camtwist to work right).

and if your on ustream, ustream producer can do pip

Key lock helps so that the voice does not bend as much... turn it on and move pitch slider up and down max to lowest then do the same with it turned off turn it off u will notice the difference. The cdj1000s does it much better but not while using vsl it ain't work right.

Before I buy MixEmergency, how do I pair up Serato Scratch Live with MixEmergancy? Meaning, when I installed Video-SL, had the Vide-SL plug in available when I wnr to Setup/Plugins and then all I had to do was check off the Enable Video-SL Plugin check-box. Is it the same way with Mix Emergency?

I don't have any of the Rane mixers, will it work the same way Video-SL works with out the Rane mixers? Please advice.

it automatically works with ssl. you run me, there is an option for me to be conrolled by me or ssl. when its being controlled by ssl, there is green light, when there is is a problem its red.

vsl plugin does need to be installed although it doesn't need to be enabled.

3. Video-SL has to be enabled (Setup/Plugins Tab/Video-SL plugin enabled = yes)
4. Video-SL do not have to be launched (via the Video-SL button on the user Interface)

Is this correct?
djpuma_gemini 9:57 PM - 26 September, 2010
1.video sl demo not purchased version
2. correct
3. correct
4. correct. don't hit video when getting setup it will open vsl and your shit will really slow down with both vsl and me running
Eduardo Serrano 10:23 PM - 26 September, 2010
Thank you DJPuma. I have purchased Video-SL few months ago, so I am guessing I can use it correct? it does not have to be the Demo version.

Now, another question, do I need to have any of the Rane mixers to run ME? I do have a Denon mixer and I can you the arrow keys on the Mac laptop to fade between videos, is that the same with ME?
DJ Dub Cowboy 11:03 PM - 26 September, 2010
I'm shook. I just did a 30 minute demo with ME. Wow!

One thing that bothered me was switching apps. With VSL it's always on screen but everytime I went to hit a cue point in SSL I would have to Apple-Tab to get back to ME. Is there a way to lock ME over SSL?

you don't need a rane mixer.
you can create your own shortcut for the crossfade, i see no reason the arrow keys could not be used.

in the upper right hand corner of the ME preview there is a small "pin" symbol, left click it, it will turn blue and should lock.
Eduardo Serrano 11:56 PM - 26 September, 2010
Tomato - but how do I create the shortcuts so that ME will recognize? in Video-SL it si a check-box "User cursor keys to cross fade video" I don't see anything like that in ME.
DJMark 12:04 AM - 27 September, 2010
I personally found it best to use ME with a MIDI controller. I use an Akai LPD8 for the ME functions (along with a Denon DNHC-1000 for SSL)....works really well.
Eduardo Serrano 12:29 AM - 27 September, 2010
Thank you DJMark -

Guys, let me tell you why I am looking into ME as another option for VJing, let me know if you have the same issue with Video-SL. When I am streaming videos out (launch VSL) my Scratch Live waveforms become very very choppy, not smooth at all, a fellow DJ told me that he switched to ME becasue VSL taxes my mac pro greatly (takes too many resources from the mac), When I am not using VSL my waveforms run very smoothly.

I just installed ME (demo version) and I have the same issue (not as bad, but still), waveforms are not smooth in Scratch Live as when I am not running VSL or ME, any suggestons? Anyone has the same problem? It is a concern for me since I relay on the video aspect as the sound aspect to achieve a seamless mix/transition.

Please advice.
nik39 1:06 AM - 27 September, 2010
Your computer/gfx card may be too slow.
DJMark 1:07 AM - 27 September, 2010
You're using more computer resources with either VSL or ME being used. Therefore the waveforms may not be as smooth, because SSL (correctly, of course) is placing screen redraws at lower priority than audio playback.

You might try dialing down the screen-updates setting in SSL down from its default "60" setting down to 30. Depending on your computer's configuration, that might help smooth things out some. Also ME has its own "Update rate" settings for its preview windows that you could try setting to "medium" or "low".

And, or course, "your computer/gfx card may be too slow"...
DouggyFresh 1:09 AM - 27 September, 2010
Don''t forget you don't want to be RUNNING VSL just have it installed/enabled... VSL + ME at the same time would bring any computer down fast..

Do you know what you are talking about? ;) I think your ExpressCard is too slow. 64 is the standard, not 34. And 8-hour battery is too slow as well. Should be at least 16.
12MB Graphics Ram? That's too slow as well.

Make sure you are using the 9600M all the time (I think you can disable the 9400M).

Oh and the output size/quality has a dramatic effect. A doubled output resolution demands a 4times higher CPU/GPU power.

the only time you need vsl enabled is when you first import a video file into the ssl library.

other than that, vsl does NOT have to be enabled to run ME.

I dont believe this is true if you use itunes for your playlists. If the VSL plug in is not enabled all the videos in your itunes playlists will not show up. I use itunes for my playlists so my VSL always need to be enabled.

If I recall correctly It must be checked in order for VSL to see videos just don't run it... having it checked wont hurt anyway...

FYI I dont use I tunes and I think that was the first problem I had when using ME. VSL wont reconize any videos until it's enabled... I'm pretty sure of that. My frist party I did with ME I didnt have it checked and for the life of me didnt know why it didnt work so I just used VSL.

i believe this is true as well. i am not 100% on this tho. we need someone to test it definitively.
i know for an absolute fact that if you don't use itunes and you have pre-loaded videos in your library even with vsl not enabled they will show up and play.

VSL NOT have to be enabled to play videos or see videos straight from the library.
BUT i am not sure about the itunes playlist.

not really a dumb question at all...ME is kind of confusing at times.

so you say you can "open the panel" are you referring to the tab in the "control" window?
if so the first view or effect should be set to "None". you then scroll to what you want.
there is a knob to the right that adjusts the parameters.

BUT what i have found and a few others have pointed out is that there is no on/off for the effects. which seems odd, doesn't it? i can't believe we haven't posted the question at inklen yet....going to do it now.

Thanks Rebanada de Jitomate - that's Spanish for Tomatoe Slice :)
skinnyguy 9:37 AM - 28 September, 2010
well, it's either you choose an effect or you don't, right? that in itself is sort of an on/off.

zoom blur or nothing.
kaleidoscope or nothing.
rotate or film strip....or nothing.
Dj Nyce 1:13 PM - 28 September, 2010
If you use the effects bank you can choose none. Or you can set the effect mix to 0. I personally use an aka lpd8 and set one of the pads to effect bank 1 which is set to none.

i think we meant like a bypass button and not the wet/dry knob.

there's no way to do it other than that.

tomatoslice 4:00 PM - 28 September, 2010
Hmm...idk...one button to push, maybe. Or a pre-set value for wet dry, maybe...and really for myself a button is faster.
One huge thing is the ability for s mart knobs. When setting one knob to select a pre-chosen effect, load it to a pre-set channel, turn it on/off is just easier than a knob and way faster

use the effect bank and set one slot to 'none' then assign a pad on your nanopad to that slot. voila, poor mans bypass button.

only downside to this it that it only sets the effect to none (turning the effect off), and not turn it back on like a true bypass button. oh well, that's what the other buttons on your nanopad/lpd/mpd are for (:

you're not running VSL and ME at once are you?
Dj Nyce 12:15 PM - 29 September, 2010
eduardo, just check the checkbox for vsl in the plugins sections of settings (like sp-6, dj fx, etc). vsl should not launch, nor should it take up any resources.

play your mp4 in ssl, audio only should be playing...no vsl output window. if you see a vsl output window that means vsl was launched. if this is the case restart vsl and load an mp4. now open ME.

if you still get choppy waveforms, close other apps, turn off bluetooth and wifi. next, try to reduce the screen updates in ssl to 30 (instead of 60).

DJ Nyce - I will try that, but by reducing screen updates in ssl from 60 to 30, will make the waveforms jompy no? that defeats the purpose of wantinh them to run smoothly.

Thank you both for your input, I will see how it works when I get home later tonight.
popnwave 10:38 PM - 29 September, 2010
What version of SSL are you running? I scrolled up and saw the hardware specs which look ok, but I had to go back to 1.9.2 of SSL because the 2.x versions gave me funky results with video especially when it came to waveforms lagging.

I have not run the current version though. I am hoping to see some VSL love before I upgrade again.

I have 1.2 installed for when I do my importing of new tracks and then turn it off and use ME 1.5 when I am actually mixing.

I even started a small thread myself when I gave up on 2.x for right now:

serato.com

Luckily on OSX going back to old versions is not as hard as on a Windows based machine. Just make sure you clear out the junk carter mentions, otherwise you will get errors.

djbookz 5:11 AM - 5 October, 2010
I dont know if its me or the program?, but I use the media bank alot because i have alot of mp3s that i play as well during a video set. And when djing a video set with ambient graphics (mp3s) I find that the media bank loads a particular graphic more often then the others. For example, lets say I set up 10 different graphics in the media bank, Graphics set to media bank 1 will show up more constantly then graphics set to media bank 10. When I'm djing a set at a night club using the media bank alot. I don't want my crowd to see repetitive graphics all night long, that would be boring quick. I wish that ME would EQUALLY CHOOSE each graphics by count, not just randomly pick a graphic, gets too repetitive!. another way to get around this is hopefully ME would add 20 spaces for the media bank. on a side note who is running ME on 13" MBP, how do you like it?

you only should if you aren't happy with vsl.
you only should if you want something better, imo, than vsl.
everyone that i know thinks it's better...well, i am not sure about Phat Al. i don't remember his thoughts. he will have to say.

pros:
text works
less cpu
better and more transitions.
user adjustable gui...this is a PLUS+PLUS=awesome.
you can any feature to multiple midi controls.
test works

i am sure there is more.
idk, someone else will have to add.

Eduardo Serrano 2:32 AM - 27 October, 2010
OK ME Gurus. I hope I am doing something wrong. I installed the demo version and I like it so far. However, if I click on any of the windows of ME, focus passes control to ME if I want to now use Scratch live I need to either click on SL or do Command Tab. I understand they are two different programs but ME says that ME can work as a plug in for Serato. like V-SL it is a plugin bur when launched they work as one, Can I do the same with ME? Note: I am not talking about the blue pin on the right upper corner; that works fine.
djpuma_gemini 2:34 AM - 27 October, 2010
Not sure.

Usually I only touch me when I set it up and I'm always in ssl, but sometimes I'll click to randomize through transitions, but I don't remember if I click back to ssl or not.
Eduardo Serrano 2:47 AM - 27 October, 2010
Yes, that would be the only time I would touch ME; for transitions or to change a Text Overlay, or to select media. I believe there is not way to make them (SSL & ME) work as a one unit.
djpuma_gemini 2:48 AM - 27 October, 2010
But if you need to touch ssl in any way you would have to click on it anyway.

Or are you trying to type to search for something and it won't type.

Just always remember to click on ssl after touching MixE
Eduardo Serrano 3:23 AM - 27 October, 2010
I wanted to scroll through the songs after I changed a text overlay and I did not work until I touch SLL, I guess I have to touch sll after ME. Right now with the midi controller I hardly touch SSL with the mouse pointer. SSL and V-SL can be manipulated withe the Denon midi controller.

Also, I turn off the Preset & Overlay lists when not using them. Fairly easy for me to do, just click. You don't see it in this pic, but the overlay list appears on top of the crates list.

Your not having issues with 2.0 and lag?


No worse than with VSL. A "little" jerky in the waveforms I guess. I'm playing right now at the house with Perian and VSL plugin off. We'll see ...

Which program is more cpu dependent, ME or VSL?

OK ME Gurus. I hope I am doing something wrong. I installed the demo version and I like it so far. However, if I click on any of the windows of ME, focus passes control to ME if I want to now use Scratch live I need to either click on SL or do Command Tab. I understand they are two different programs but ME says that ME can work as a plug in for Serato. like V-SL it is a plugin bur when launched they work as one, Can I do the same with ME? Note: I am not talking about the blue pin on the right upper corner; that works fine.

set it up so that it always stays on top and adjust the transluciency level.

for quite some time I used that same resolution on my 17"xps.

finally I ended up beefing it up a bit becuase If I ever did need to reado something it
was waaaay to small (other than the library with the ctrl+ trick) to read from 3-4
feet away, with club lights, and bouncing around and what not...

and I hate being that dude hunched over his computer, I like to distannce myself
as much as possible from it

Do you get backaches carrying that thing. I have a macbook 13" then when I switch to my 15" pro I almost cried for the weight difference. Reminds me when I was young and use to carry crates for my boy who taught me how to dj
Eduardo Serrano 5:11 PM - 28 October, 2010
Is it heavier? Yes it is, do I mind? Not at all. I aonly carry it in its alluminum case from the house to the car (50 ft) and from the car to the club (100 ft), no problem at all. I love having that big screen.
djpuma_gemini 5:15 PM - 28 October, 2010
I got the 17 too and I love it, yeah at home when you want to sort shit or watch a tv show in bed it's a little big, but I love the 3 usb's and screen real estate.

I'll have to try what Millz said about going 1280 stretched, cause I have to lean forward to find songs, cause the text is so damn small.
Funkytownstopsix 5:22 PM - 28 October, 2010
Just curious I use center on libary does anyone else use center on libary... if so I dont see the need to make anything small,, also you coud use the libary to place ME stuff top and bottom of your libary as u will be centered on the libary at all times. What you think?
Eduardo Serrano 5:26 PM - 28 October, 2010
DJ puma, you know you can make the font on the songs list larger in serato right?
Eduardo Serrano 5:29 PM - 28 October, 2010
Ctrl or Cmd plus the + key increases the font size.

Eduardo Serrano 5:41 PM - 31 October, 2010
Is it the AVerMedia QuickPlay? I need to know more about this please. I have a MacBook Pro, I purchased an MiniPort Dsplay to VGA and then I have a converter to S-Video but I am not too happy with the end result. Will this thingy work for my setup? Again I need S-video out, anyone can tell me the quality of videos with this thing
Dj Nyce 9:01 PM - 31 October, 2010
yes. avermedia quickplay. it is a scan converter that converts digital signal to analog (minidisplay port to vga>quickplay>s-video or component video).

if you have a mdp to vga adapter then yes the quickplay will work for you. you can control position, brightness, flicker and over/underscan. it also has a vga monitor out.

i think the video quality is great. it's not hd, but it looks good. it's small but it does need usb power.
Dj Nyce 9:03 PM - 31 October, 2010
oh an it also has composite (yellow rca) out...
vio0633 1:27 AM - 1 November, 2010

Quick question for you ME users. Does ME run less CPU usage compared to VSL? Does anyone have any videos or data to compare the 2? Just cirous as to what the difference is between the 2. Stability is key for me and im thinking of switching over to ME!
Funkytownstopsix 12:36 PM - 1 November, 2010
You really need to test on your on MBP depends on what you have installed and what's running in the background... I can't say I have data but I know one thing it runs a sooooo much smoother and is very stable. At frist I was trying to use VSL every other gig but that has fallen to the way side now I only use ME. Try the demo if you have not already and there will be no doubt you will get it.. Yet if you seach sombody did have data that said it used less cpu,,yada yada yada....

yes, it uses less cpu.

more stable...i know this because i have files that WILL crash VSL but not ME. so basically ME plays more files and formats.


pretty sure there is good reason the majority that switched stay with ME.
if it was not stable or better why would they stay with it?
where are all the people saying VSL is better?
Joshua Carl 7:55 PM - 1 November, 2010
Just curious.

with ME's Midi functionality, whats everyone using for controllers, and how many

Ive considered dusting off my Korg KontrolPad
seeing how it has buttons, sliders & knobs...and its tiny
Dj Nyce 10:25 PM - 1 November, 2010
i'm using bank 4 of my lpd8.

pads 1-8 -> effect slots 1-8
knobs first row -> effect parameter 1/2/effect select/transition select
knobs second row -> effect parameter 1/2/effect select/transition effect amount

setting up effects and storing them in the banks are a great way to recall effects. i have a ton using the bass or position.
DJ-Phat-AL 11:08 PM - 1 November, 2010
I use the Korg nanoKONTROL ...

got effects, transitions, etc. setup on it.... still trying to assign more... and yeah it is small. I like it!

I've been using an Akai LPD8, with knobs controlling effects/effect mix, and a couple buttons for transition and changing auto-transition type. It's been working fine for that.

I never did S Video out of it but composite yes. The difference between the composite output and VGA is very far. VGA is much brighter and the colors are much better. Im using HDMI right now and havent used that box in a while. Nice converter though!

repairing permissions (which you can do w/disk utility)

kill me though
Steve Dub. 5:03 PM - 9 November, 2010
Waveform glitches are from the video card working too hard. Try moving the quality setting in ME to 50%. I did that and don't get the glitches anymore and I can barely tell the difference between 50% and 100%
Joshua Carl 5:26 PM - 9 November, 2010
really? 50%

Ill give it a shot!

dumbass....i cant believe i couldnt figure out the midi.
got it now.

question:
is there a bypass effect option, or toggle effect button to map.
when u load a effect to the presets, and map that (lets say slot 1)
it toggles it on... but hitting it again doesent toggle it off.

any ideas.... lets say I wanted to desing a midi firable strobe
Dj Nyce 5:48 PM - 9 November, 2010
there isn't an effect toggle. what you can do select none, set a preset to none or turn the effect amount to 0.
carter 5:48 PM - 9 November, 2010
Yeah. Midi was pretty easy. Option+Click and then choose the knob or button. I haven't been able to toggle between different effects on each deck, but you can set the effect output knobs to a midi channel. Some have 2 and some have 3, but you can set each one. The only one I can skip through is the main output effects. I set it to random and have the refresh button assigned to a button on my mixer. So if an effect comes up that I haven't deselected in preferences I can skip it and go to another one.

you have to set some videos in your ME media bank and set them to load instead of keeping the vsl video.

i'm using 640x480/Full/100%

all my 4:3 vids are encoded cropped to 640x480. all my 16:9 vids are encoded cropped to 640x360. my vids end up either full screen bars on top and bottom.

Same but output quality at 80% (not sure why)
Joshua Carl 8:31 PM - 16 November, 2010
i dropped it down to 60/70/80 and didnt see a huge difference in performance..
so i just pushed it back to 100%

I think @ 640/480 100% should be ok....kicking the resolution up you might
have to start dropping the quality down.
one spot I do I have to kick the display up, otherwise the display has that
zoomed in look, you can only see the top line of a chryon and such.

What do you guys normally use for export settings in ME for recordings?
PopRoXxX 2:50 AM - 22 November, 2010
i used the default quicktime movie setting it had already chosen. not bad :)

PopRoXxX 4:37 AM - 22 November, 2010
nah. i use MPEG streamclip. i like that better ;)
carter 6:49 PM - 22 November, 2010
I used the same and then MPEG. Just checking. I did an hour and 40 minutes so it was a pretty big file. Was trying to get it down in size somewhat.
tomatoslice 2:05 AM - 23 November, 2010
for all those having issues with ME and a scratching fader delay...
turn smoothing off.
preferences > transitions > uncheck "smooth fader"

the next version has an excellent smooth fader with scratching spot on. fast cuts are beautiful.
can not wait for the release!!

Well....I just copped ME and holy shit....this plug in is off the chain! VSL aint got nothing on ME! The crazy effects and awesome transitions are un real! Love the recording function of the program as well!

Quick question for you guys with ME, what do you set the quality slider to? From reading on the forums it all depends on the secondary monitor resolution. I have mine set to 800x600 with the quality setting at 100%.

MicChec 9:00 PM - 4 January, 2011
on the system requirements foe ME it says you need a DVI or s video output. I have the older macbook pro with no dvi so i use the vga output. will that work with ME? straighrt VGA?
Funkytownstopsix 9:10 PM - 4 January, 2011
That should not be an issue.... To be sure ask on the ME fourms... But I am 99 percent sure you will be fine.
Dj Nyce 9:11 PM - 4 January, 2011
Any video output will work with ME. As long as your laptop recognizes whats plugged into the port as a 2nd display, ME will be able to see it.

What the hell is up with that new plugin, Forgot the name, but it constantly shows both screens in half the entire time until I get out of that screen, even if the fader is over all the way.

Pretty annoying when you have it on random and you look up a minute into a video and see split screen.

Ya i thought for a second that my x-fader was bleeding or that ME was screwin up! Even with the x-fader all the way to one side it faintly shows!

I dont like it either. I removed from my transition list.

but keep it as a hot cue on my list.
when doing an acapella over a instrumental loop or something its a good one.
djpuma_gemini 9:49 PM - 5 January, 2011
yeah def would work for acap over inst, but I had no clue what it was and noticed my screens were in half.
tomatoslice 9:06 AM - 8 January, 2011
yea, it's a scratch transition.
it should probably be labeled for juggling.
i would love to find other things but that is pretty much it's only use.

demo it.

judging by the hundreds of us that use it and never complain about resource issues, I'm pretty sure that's a negative.

ME runs better on my machine.
djpuma_gemini 5:23 PM - 14 January, 2011
Yup.

I just realized i was missing all my transitions.

I thought they were disabled, but I guess when I reinstalled ME I didn't get all the trans.

I've been mixing with the same 5 or 6 forever.

Finally got reflective swap back.

if i recall correctly, the demo has a watermark on the main output (logo) that fades in and out. Also ME will stop working after 15 minutes.

Me runs better but does not load videos faster then VSL this is the only negative that I have found with ME. I use acapella videos and instrumental every time I load videos in ME it may take a second or a few seconds, on VSL almost instant. ME in all other areas blows SLV out the water making for a more entertaining mix. Just wish it would load faster on the vids.

I havent noticed a lag. I also didnt purchase it until 1.5 came out. The vids seem to be loaded just as fast as the track in ssl.
Funkytownstopsix 3:42 PM - 18 January, 2011
Or really... hummm... try this... load an accapella and an instrumental play your video and then load video after video right behind each other and you will see what I am saying. Not really an issue with it loading but an issue with how long it takes to display on the screen. It will play the audio but the video is slow to come in. Now if your not a fast mixer persay loading accapellas on top of each other then it will not matter but for me it's part of my show which truly impresses people when they see videos just flowing as such live.... not edited. .
djpuma_gemini 3:57 PM - 18 January, 2011

what are you laptop specs (too lazy to look at profile)
ta2423 4:02 PM - 18 January, 2011
Now that I think about it yes... When Im prescanning vids and loading them simutanously it does have a lag. Never effects me live. I do however need to step up and get the accapellas and instrumentals going live.
I personally have the mbp17 i-7 and do notice when Im just prescreening vids it starts to lag. Thought it was more my harddrive than anything else. I think this happened to me in vsl too.
djpuma_gemini 4:10 PM - 18 January, 2011
Could it be your buffer settings and it has to store that data in ram before it shows it.
Try turning your buffer down and see how that affects it.
Funkytownstopsix 4:11 PM - 18 January, 2011
sup puma still lazy.... I just brought some pumas this weekend....

Yet it does happen try it and you will see then try it in VSL you may have a black frame but less then a second almost seemless if I was not at work I could send you an example. ... Oh and it does not need to be an accpella you will get the same effect for any video.
djpuma_gemini 4:53 PM - 18 January, 2011
ok. I'll test it out.

Can you see it in offline mode also?

i wouldn't say ME is a plug-in, since it's not activated WITHIN ssl. it's more of a piggyback kind of program.

if ME actually was a plug-in, it would probably have access to the eq's and possibly linking fx to that.

I think that would be a horrible senario, the reason ME is so great is because its a focused effort, JUST video, JUST mac, they have more time to spend on developing on a limited resource, if they tried to expand into the overly competitive world of DVS A) they would have alot of catching up to do B) it would take away from their lead prodcut

djpuma_gemini 5:48 PM - 19 January, 2011

There are already a few good ones out there that everyone uses and to put that amount of money into development would be tough.

DUDE I don't think Serato has worked on PC since it came out.... As a matter of fact I think they gave up as well. And should make an announcement saying use it at your own risk and you will not have technical support... I would feel better then... I have only gotten on PC to work correctly out of 8 yet I wont get started... Henry GQ you brought back some bad memories

I agree more cats on it would be awsome (no cat lady) but what do they have to gain by making a whole DVS when their piggyback strategey works great. I dont think they have much to add to the DVS game as a whole

totally on point because remember the days when it was Rane and Serato only, scratchlive was a stable program even the betas were playable at gigs......but as soon as serato started writing codes for itch, ......things have been starting to go down hill with scratchlive the program that made them fame..........because these days they barely have enough time to fix all the bugs in scratchlive so they just sweep them under the rag and move on cause they wanna meet a deadline . plus we haven't seen a vsl update in months.........

my point is these days Serato is under staffed with employees and barely has enough time to spend on each individual bug as they used to back in the day.......... due to their expansion of their services to itch,nurmark,vestex and denon.

DJ_Gonzo 10:01 PM - 29 January, 2011
Well, thanks for posting up on this software. I recently started looking into recording my video mix sessions.

I use a TTM 57SL as my mixer/midi controller.

Prior to learning about ME, I had purchased Camtasia for Mac. I am not tech savvy enough to figure out how I can record sound from the 57SL and into Camtasia.

So, I downloaded a trial version of ME and I must say....I'm digging it! But again, am at a loss of how to record the sound from my mixer into the video mix.

Assistance on how to record the sound with the video from my 57SL is greatly appreciated guys.

If I can successfully record sound with the video....I may just have to purchase a license for this. ;-)

Thanks

Route a cable from aux out or booth to your line in on your Mac. In ME start a new recording, Built-in Input should be selected for Device. If it's not, select it and make sure that something is playing in serato so that you can check the levels (Input level meter). If levels look good hit record.

I think we're all patient because 1.5 works so well. If it were buggy and people were getting crashes all the time like VSL, it'd be a different story. We'd all have torches and pitch forks storming Nick's website on a constant basis. Haha. I was just saying that I've seen posts and rumors about it for what seems like months. Making me anxious to play around with it. Know what I mean?

It's also easier to wait for an ME update because Nick is always working ... so he's always putting out new effects and new transitions all the time! That right there is awesome in my book. Yeah, sure 1.6 will have some new features which is cool. But your crowd sees videos, effects and transitions while listening to the mix. I would personally want VSL updates a lot because I couldn't wait for new effects/transitions.

HenryGQ - Yeah, it would be extremely smart for Serato team to drop PC support entirely.

Funkytown - That's right, us PC users are still stuck at version SSL version 1.6 and VSL version 1.0. It's not like they're developed and tested simultaneously.

You guys are awesomely smart.

I am, in no way, using a $700 PC laptop with better hardware than most MBPs that cost double that, including a silky smooth VSL experience at the highest quality, crash free.

I just wish Serato team would update VSL. For everyone. I'm not selfish.

Since you're not selfish, post detailed system configuration information for the benefit of other people wanting to use Windows PC's with VSL. Believe we had a whole thread devoted to that a while back.

i love when people jump on the better hardware deal.
the OS is what matters too.

it's like a driver of a car. the hardware doesn't mean shit if you're in a race but have a retard driving. you won't win, you will crash.


even with the best software, PCs crash because they have retarded drivers.

+1 ten times....

as a die hard PC guy this is a fact... I have installed Mac OS on my PC and it ran flawlessly.... But I think the point should be that sertao says it will run on PC then make it do so.... or take it off the site... flase hope kills.... Yes it will work on some but damn which ones... that's why I recommend they tell us what pc to buy that way we could kill the guessing game......

HenryGQ - Yeah, it would be extremely smart for Serato team to drop PC support entirely.

Funkytown - That's right, us PC users are still stuck at version SSL version 1.6 and VSL version 1.0. It's not like they're developed and tested simultaneously.

You guys are awesomely smart.

My $1000 PC laptop came with a 2.53 Core2Duo, space for 2 hard drives internally, 6GB of RAM and a 1GB dedicated Nvidia 260M GT video card. Show me the Macbook Pro that's comparable to that. Oh, and it's got a 17" screen and lighted keyboard.. Ran VSL great, ended up going to Mac OS X on it (I got it to run Snow Leopard) and it works awesome. Now I can run MixEmergency on it too :)
DouggyFresh 7:19 PM - 1 February, 2011
Oh lets not forget about the 4 USB ports, 1 Firewire, 1 eSATA, VGA + HDMI out, SD card reader...
Joshua Carl 7:22 PM - 1 February, 2011
if your know what to look for in a PC you chances of running VSL successfully
is much much higher than just going by certain "specs"

the people i know, who have PCs...and bought the "right" OC run VSL
flawlessly. myself included.

the only flaw was not being able to run M-E!
djpuma_gemini 7:53 PM - 1 February, 2011

My touchsmart pc is used for third setups and as a backup. It runs flawless with all the right settings. Vsl... No stalls, no freezes and runs smoothly through a 5 hour video gig. With that said and no problems... I still would rather use the 17" mbp 1-7.
Just feels better, looks better and real estate is perfect for bridge and M.E. all up and going.
Serato will still do the pc support. Most people who start out dont just up and buy a macbook. They usually start with pc. In order for serato to do more business and sell them in they have to work with pc. Then after sold on the product the individual who is trying to better himself will step up and buy the mbp. I dont think there are many pc users here that dont want to own a mbp. My 2 anyways

...you can add 4 more usb ports, 2 firewire 800 ports etc on your mbps by simply buying a serial 34 card. I was using a usb hub to connect all the junk I got (CDJS via HID, etcetcetc)...and it was a wiring mess...now with this serial card, I dont have as many wires running in front of my rig.

yes. you can save your presets, transitions, logos, text and qtz as presets. the presets can then be mapped to midi.

Also you may be able to switch the presets banks and pages (effects, transitions, logos, text, qtz) via midi, but i'm not sure. I'll check when i get home. If not, 1.6 will make pretty much everything midi mappable.

well if serato doesn't want to drop pc then they should leave the current version for pc
and make a new separate version similar to me for mac only


with two separate versions the choice will be left to the user if they wanna buy a pc or a mac and use all the new features like those in me

that way the only thing that will limit you from using the features in vsl will depend on your wallet and how much you are will to invest on a laptop.

soooo you don't know for sure?? you have not personally seen it??

However...in the version i have, 16015, you can only move and resize the docks/windows.
to split the individual (3) video screens, if that 's what jbnyc is referring to, it's not possible. maybe if there is a newer beta you can but not the one i have.

this is the one I bought. It works perfect. Im only using 2 of the 4 usb ports. Sonnet makes quality stuff.




I just got one in the mail today and the only way I can get it to work is to plug in a usb device to the express card and then insert into the macbook pro. Also if I try to insert something into one of the usb slots while the sonnet is plugged into the macbook pro it will not read. I tested on both my 17 inch macbook pros same thing. Is this normal? Thanks
Millz 8:20 PM - 7 February, 2011
its plug and play, I have a unibody mbp c2duo 17 inch and it works regardless if i have it inserted before or after boot up. Are you saying yours doesnt do that?
Millz 8:21 PM - 7 February, 2011
btw im using 2 of the ports for hid cdj connections, normally, but have tested on 4 cdj 2000s with it and it works flawlessly
Marine 8:37 PM - 7 February, 2011
I have two pre unibody macbook pros 17 inch and I wanted to use this for the cdj 2000's hid like your using instead of a powered hub. The only time it works is if i plug the cdj 2000's in to the sonnet card and then insert into the macbook pros. If I plug anything else in like my kontrol-x1 after inserting the card it will not read.
Millz 8:52 PM - 7 February, 2011

I won't be using and passively powered devices on it myself (ie no USB hdds). I will just use it to plug my CDJ-400s into for HID control and they have their own power so I should be set personally.

I havent seen that one yet, nor have a seen a 2nd effect slot.
(both of these I mentioned when first coming over to ME...)
for now the way around a toggle is to map a 2nd button to NONE...
EG, in Effects preset, my 1 slot is NONE.
then I go back and forth with none + 2-10.
Impractical, but functional.

new mbp's are wack. i'm sticking w/my late 2009 mbp.

Why are they wack?



Because in order to connect to the TTM 57 you need you boot the new MBP in 32 gigs instead of 64, it took me a while to search the treads for this this weekend.
DJ Komodo 10:22 PM - 2 March, 2011
There are a lot of threads here about ME vs VSL

Can someone give me a rundown? I'm currently using VSL with my 57, but i'm thinking about making the switch to ME.

Is ME really that much better than VSL?

ME is not just "really that much better than VSL"...it is REALLY THAT much better than vsl.
there is a HUGE difference. i went ME 2 years ago and have yet to see even one thing VSL has added that make me even consider using it again.

the new MEcoming out is freaking just...just...AWESOME!!

there is far tooooo much to list that makes ME awesome.
to get a run down start at the top of this thread.
ta2423 10:54 PM - 2 March, 2011
^ Lol, I forgot what vsl even looks like.

That should be 32 bit instead of 64 bit - isn't there a keyboard combo @ startup that lets u decide when U boot up.

A couple keystrokes doesn't seem that bad....

hey im new to ME!! can anyone tell me how to keep ME in front of serato at all times!! everytime i hit serato ME moves to the back!!! thanx
Henry GQ 1:11 AM - 4 March, 2011
theres a "pin" button at the right corner of the mix emergency window
DJCheLu 6:37 AM - 4 March, 2011
I have actually been setting what i need and making ME go to the background and not touch it anymore. Im really liking the basic serato layout with no video stuff in my way :)
ta2423 6:41 AM - 4 March, 2011
As stated above you can make it transparent so you see both.

What gets me is when I walk into venues and they are using vsl... Cmon already, do your homework... Then again they are also rocking pc's.
I dont get it. If you are spinning serato and making money. Take that money and get a mac.

I hate both of you... I should sell my 57's and get a 68. But I hate selling my gear so I will have to just wait and by then there will be a rane 69 just in time.
Henry GQ 7:54 PM - 5 March, 2011
all i gotta say is if they come out with the 57 with the cue buttons onthe side. kiss my 68 goodbye..

Are you guys mapping the different transitions to the 68 or are you using them manually.

2.33 ghz 160hd..and so forth and so on...and every since i got it i have have no problems what so ever...even VSL....
Funkytownstopsix 5:16 PM - 7 March, 2011
damn that's the one before I got mine... U can find those all over the net really cheap. I think with it has the ati graphics card in it. I got the pre unibody... no issues with it. would buy another with same specs...
DjBoozie 5:52 PM - 7 March, 2011
I just dropped a 2 gigs stick in it the other day to bring it up to 3 gigs of ddrs sdram.. The graphic card is a radeon x 1600 with 256 mb. I haven't had to change a thing with this yet.. I love it..Wouldn't trade it for all the rice and tea in china
Marine 6:00 PM - 7 March, 2011
I have three macbook pros two are the 2007 model 2.5 ghz intel core 2 duo with 4 gb memory nvidia 8600 gt graphics cards and I like them better than my 2011 macbook pro. The main reason is my 2007 pre unibody models can use a dvi to composite svideo adapter and that's it and I also have no problem using with the bridge and me at the same time. My new Mac neads a minidisplay port to vga and then convertor which sucks. I wish the new macs had the dvi out instead of mini display port

Kepik 9:51 PM - 7 March, 2011
after much research, I think I'll skip on getting the latest MBP. The Thunderbolt port is still relatively new so any external hard drives that utilize this will definitely be $$$. I saw LaCie just announced a Thunderbolt hard drive.

Plus, I can deal with the current speeds of copying music videos.
