Features - I could deal with less transitions and FX (at least initially) if it makes the release process any faster! We can always get add-ons later as part of an upgrade release.

FYI, I've removed the word "Official" from the title of this thread. Unless a thread or post comes from a Serato staff member it isn't official.

And yes I know, there are other threads on this forum called "The Official blah blah". I'm not going to retrospectively change them but I will edit all thread titles from now on that feature the word "official".

I have never wanted video so bad. I am ok with a "we are working on it" :)

Me too until everybody down here started doing videos.......It's like a freaking qualification to have a Djing gig in the Club this days which I feel is ridiculous.

careful esco. I started another thread to try and correct one that has a misleading title and mine got moved over to the off-topic section while the other one stayed where it was.

Having Itch support video will really help everyone, specially vdj. With the power of the NS7 itch will be bringing video mixing to a new generation by making it better than it already is.

I think Serato is well aware that people would like both Video and Bridge for Itch, they may just be taking their time releasing them, or have other reasons not to.

Hello,
To my understanding Serato has already commented they plan to do this at a future point.
However the biggest thing with Serato is that they have always worked very hard to make sure features are as stable as possible so they will not rush them out until they are ready.

I agree, i think one of the main goals of this thread is to move up this feature a couple of steps on their priority list :D

I agree, let push it up!!!

Honestly I would prefer that Serato let Mix Emergency to hook up on Itch to be able to play video. It would save time and resources to Serato and ME already proved that is on the top of it's things.
As I have noticed Scratch Live 2.1.1 still needs to get fixed. It works fine with my machines, but I see some people in the forum are still on Scratch 1.9.2 because they had issues.
I also see some people have issues with latest Itch too.
And on the top of that the Bridge has to be finished.

It took the bridge almost 2 years to see the light, and it's still beta.
It would be shame that Itch has to wait that long to get video plugin.

I'm still on VSL and that's the only thing keeping me from getting the V7. My gigs are 90% video.

Yeah, it really shows with ITCH 1.7!.... Bought my DX 6 Months ago and still cant use it live due to software that isn't ready for live performance. You guys really rushed ITCH with the DX but I give you props for trying and the strides Serato has made to fix the instability issues.

+1 to Mix Emergency plugin, its already implemented on SSL, just go ahead and implement it for ITCH please!!!!!!!!!!!

yup

hmm althought ME is only for MAC as of now if im not mistaken and Serato wont do something that will benefit only MAC users with ITCH :|

ssl works with ME

They did with itch...Just kidding!!!

Yes i would like to have video because i do alot of corp events and Bar Mitsa's private partys with video. Please give us that feature please. I have the numark V7 that with by nice of you if you give us that add-on.

OK guys we are falling out of line here>
Put your vote in and add your info.

We are not trying to kick anyone in the nads here. If you have a recommendation please feel free to post when you put your vote in.

Keep in mind: Developing software is not an easy thing and supporting is is a definate task. Look at all the operating systems out there and all the support furums out there, to further prove my point all the softwares being mentioned have support groups, forums and the occasional complaints.

Yes we are all looking foward to seeing ITCH support video and video mixing and realize that this will help some DJs using ITCH score some additonal brownie points in any club, however lets keep it professional whiale we wait and in addition contribute in anyway we can.

(yes, I want Video for ITCH too! There's is just a bit of work we need to do first but it's definitely coming. Sorry I can't tell you when because we're not 100% sure yet)

Although I am an itch owner (VCI-300 MK2), I honestly feel ripped off because of Serato opening up the Itch software to VSL. When VSL was first announced we were told you needed the 57 to make it work so I purchased one. There was never any mention of the them allowing it to be used by SL-1/SL-3 useers. Then they announced it was open to anyone with a Serato box. Now it is open to Itch users. I suppose it was inevitable but it is disappointing.

In all honesty I have become very cautious of the stability of Serato programs and have been looking into other viable options. If Native Instruments ever introduces video I may convert. As it is now I am debating about returning the VCI to purchase the Kontrol S4.

If Video for Itch is not out by november, I'm getting this:
DN-MC6000 and using Virtual DJ for my video gigs...

Please, development team... Prioritize!

Thanks!

ITCH Video will not be out by the end of year, that I can say for sure.

Who said VSL is open or will be open to itch users?

Regardless of the name I am pretty sure it will just be a re-branded version of VSL. Just as Itch is just a re-branded version of Scratchlive. You don't honestly think they completely rewrote the programs.

One other thing to consider is that VSL is still pretty sketchy on the PC side of things so you have to consider the same things will occur for Itch Video. Basically if you aren't on a Mac you are taking your chances at your events.

So because SSL has it, we shouldn't?

i love how these threads turn into threats... 'do this or i am buying something else' if you need something else then by all means get it. but the point we now know ( thank you esco for starting this thread ) is video is on the way

They DO have their priorities right. Introduce new features, stabilize, then optimize. Rinse and repeat.

-KLH

What I am saying is that when VSL was introduced it was implied that it would only work if you owned the 57 so all of us early adopters dropped $1400 to buy the mixer. Then they decided to allow SL-1 and SL-3 owners in on it. Do you really think they needed to change the software to make that happen. Regardless of what I say, it's going to happen. I just don't appreciate the tactics used to make early adopters buy the 57.

Let me put it in a way that you can relate to. What if they decided to allow you buy the Itch Software for $99 and use any controller or interface with it after you just purchased the VCI, DX or NS7. Wouldn't you feel like you got screwed over.

@ Rebelguy

Your rant is pointless and kinda disturbing. I personally paid about $3000 for Logic Audio software instruments, plus $1000 for the DAW; now the whole package is $500.

It's the price you pay to stay on the cutting edge of technology, brother.

Just sell your 57, you'll get much of your money back. I couldn't sell my used software instruments.

I own Logic and think it's a great product but don't even get me started on Apple's pricing policies and business practices. Bad example.

And yes the 57 has been sold. I was never a fan of that mixer and sold it immediately when VSL became SL-1/SL-3 useable. In a way I guess that worked in my favor.

As I stated, my comments are falling on deaf ears. It's going to happen. I am just saying it is a bit disturbing to hear.

Apple lowered the price to $500, I paid $4000 to a German company named Emagic, then aquired by Apple, FYI. So much for "Apple pricing policies" lol.

I actually owned Logic Platinum on the PC side when they were owned by Emagic. Then apple bought them and cut off PC support so that falls very easily into Apple's bad business practices...lol.

"Bad" just like MS dropping Mac support for IE, or Autodesk dropping Mac support for Autocad, or Adobe not supporting hardware acceleration on Macs u til 2010... not "bad" business, just plain business.

plain and simple at the time there was no such think as SL# or ITCH --- so it is not like you were duped in to buying the 57 as your rant is implying

^sl3

LOL... It's not a threat... I already bought itch twice, when I got the VCI-300 and the Xone DX... Doesn't make much of a difference to serato at this point what I do.

Thanks Pene for the information.

I will most likely buy the new Denon on November and Use Virtual DJ for Video Gigs as I've stated before.

Hopefully itch will come around soon enough.
Can't deal with the stability issues of Virtual DJ.

Um...there was an SL-1 (which I already owned) and they could have easily made VSL accessible at the time. They clearly stated that VSL would only run if used in conjunction with the 57.

Unfortunately at the time this was not true, there were a number of additional technical problems that had to be overcome before we could offer Video to SL1/SL3 users, just as there are a number of technical problems to overcome to make it work with ITCH.

RIGHT NOW I PREFER ITCH BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE A WHILE BEFORE VIDEO , REALLY THINKING ABOUT IT 1.7 UPDATE WASNT THAT GOOD . I GUESS VIDEO DJ ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STICK TO VIRTUAL D.J. WHICH I THINK U CAN PUT A 5 YEAR OLD IN CONTROL AND HE CAN SYNC HIMSELF A MIX. BIG UP TO DJ ESCO .

Sorry for my wrong statement. Just wish you guys would have stated it was in the pipeline somewhere down the road before I had to shell out for the 57.

wow so next year huh, cool. makes me wanna blink and its next year already, login to this forum, go to the ITCH 2.0 download link, buy Ableton Live, buy Mix Emergency for ITCH hmm what else...

Nxt year sounds so Far away.......sigh

DJ MeMyselfAndI
Here.



IIRC the public statement was that it *will* run in a different hardware but not "right now" (at that time). I don't think (I could be wrong) that neither Serato nor Rane said that it will exclusively run on the 57 for the future.

Hey Nik...

First off...why did you reply to my email?

Second...I really don't remember a statement of them saying it would work on the other hardware. I do remember a big outcry when it was announced it would run on the SL-1 and SL-3.

Crap i meant why didn't you reply to my email.

Video is not picking up at the same pace in France than in the US but it would definitely be a great features to be add. Plus, I'm sure video will kick in sometime soon in France.

Eventhough........ Personally I feel it's cheesy to mix videos it's already a Feature that you just gotta have it if your a working Dj.

Venue owners want video more than the DJ's. I spin video 85% of the time. If I had my choice, it would be all audio. There are enough Video DJ pools out there where you can get good videos, without being cheesy.
I just want VSL to work correctly, regardless of which version. Don't sell it until it works! If you make it, they will come.

But +1 for me, I would have loved to bring my ns7 to my spot and use it for videos. Its an awesome piece of kit.

It is safe to say that Itch is a rebrand of Scratch Live, True Dj's will always control the music industry no matter what technolgy comes out. If you are true to your craft and do you research first, whether if you a Dj or Vj. Software writers for needs to communicate with compter manufactors on specification, and Quality Assurance needs to do better test before the release produce. Hats off to you DJ Esco for the threat. Volume speaks in number and let our number be heared. Side not been in the game since 1985 and true to the game.

If they(Serato) put as much effort into Video for ITCH as they have for SSL, then don't hold your breath for too long. VSL has been nothing but trouble for me since day one. Crashes, freezes......and support gets around to it when they can. Do a search in the forum for issues with video, freezes, crashes, bugs.....blah, blah, blah.
It needs work.

If you are running on a poorly spec computer you might have problems but so far from the people that i know nothing but praises.

If you are running VSL on a Mac with the proper specs you will have no problem. I have been on it for about 2 years and have had 3 crashes. 2 were from my drive disconnecting because of a bad cable and 1 from a bad video file.

If you are on a PC then its a crapshoot if it will work.

why do you say that? SSL have video

Well it is just my opinion and why I purchased the vci and itch.

I'm not such a big fan of software going off on a tangent. Having video adds no benefit to me as it just adds another layer of functionality that will dilute the product and make it divert from its original intention, djing.

I think it would make more sense to perfect the djing and audio capabilities rather than add a new feature such as video.

true but quite simply a lot of people do both

@kraal
@Fokus

In my opinion DJs are expanding the horizons through new creative levels by combining Technologies bringing a whole new definition to the "Total Package" A.K.A. the art of DJing.

"Experiences and memories (of any specific event or instance) are not only recorded and stored within the human memory but are embeded and become apart of us, as a result of not only you hear but also what you visualy percieve or experience at that particular moment." -DJ Esco

Before I really don't care about videos SL already have them but it makes perfect sense...VCI300 and ITCH portability is a killer combination and with video implementation this thing will be off the charts. I bet a lot of people from SL will jump on it.

Edubbb
vt,Nh, boston ma,ct,

boooom what were waiting for

I Have Serato just for stability and popularity purposes. I hardly use it because the features are so limited. I'm a Virtual DJ user, mainly for VIDEO, plus some additional bells and whistles. If ITCH when Video, at a REASONABLE cost, I would probably make the switch.

IN addition, Serato/Rane need to consider that many DJs travel outside of their city to DJ. Right now, if I'm traveling, I take my Hercules RMX and my laptop n I'm good. With the stability of Serato, I would love to be able to TRAVEL with a VIDEO enabled midi controller, instead of having to bring CD player cases, & A RANE MIXER, if I want to play VIDEO.

+1 DJ Runmova,Tobyhanna P.a yes yes yes, i need it we need it, IT HAS TO BE STABLE FIRST. my NS7 and ITCH work well on my pc. i've tried virtual dj and numark vj program not a big fan of them . if i'm not mistaken are'nt they made by the same software company...... anyway hopefully Serato can get it right and get it to US SOON.

DJ TJ Please help us out Serato!!!

Can serato or numark please give us a update other than were working on. It will help us all out that want video on itch

i really doubt they have a true date. Just knowing it is in the plans helps a little but honestly we all know it will be here when it gets here is the only answer. so what are we to do for now but wait or if you need video right now or yesterday you should look for a different solution cause even if video is added who is to say it is what you want/need

Some people have the wrong concept when purchasing software,

u buy a software based on wat is available now, not wat will be available in the future, so if u bought without that is ur prob, find alternatives.

it is nice we ask for stuff but to say they have to give a time frame is unrealistic.

If Itch never upgrades to 2.0, I wont be vex cause I buy 1.1 and now i at 1.7.1, and still loving it. I will work wid wat i have or find another software to get the job done!

love this forum , there is a lot of helpful info..

please oh please give us video!!!!!!

I don't want video in Itch, I bought Itch cause it is stripped back and stable.

If Serato want to bring out Vid-Itch or whatever they want to call it and allow it to work with Itch controllers thats great, but please don't mess up my Itch to add video!!

it should just be a plug-in like in serato scratch... the other thing I would love would be 4 decks on my vci300. I don't want to have all my tracks on ableton I hate the warp marker sound on ableton, I spin spanish music and salsa does not sound good with beat markers you cant beatgrid a salsa or merengue song specially if it is recorded live, it will sound robotic thats where it take talent to mix them a sync button wont cut it!!!!

If there was a way to alternate the NSFX controller between sound effects and video effects. I personally don't really care for the sound effects but the controller is in the perfect spot to be used as a video effects controller. I'm using VDJ right now for video and have decided to stick it out until Itch releases video support. All I want for Christmas, is for Itch and video support to hookup.

Serato will never configure the nsfx
To work how it works in VDJ .

The VDJ mapping of it is sick
Too bad the machine dosent work well with it.
Serato knows this.

the nsfx controls the video functionality of vdj?

Ya it controls video sampler and effects

nice, would be a good idea to use the nsfx to handle video as well on ITCH's implementation.

I'm curious to see how theyre gonna do it
To be honest. I really doubt they will be
As creative as VDJ.

So what is the final word on the release of video????? Or is it just a way to get people to buy VIRTUAL DJ also to run the NS7 nsfx !!!!!!! Its sad when you cant brag about SERATO when your runnin VIRTUAL DJ. Just my 2 cents !!!!

Even if they charge us with the Video add On I think it is quite fair....I'm just saying that this feature request is something to brag about.....I'm gonna start collecting Videos as soon as this thing is announced.

I know I do have a choice to use VDJ for videos but I'm optimistic about ITCH.

all we need is video on itch.. thanks

i already started collecting just in case

or you could just use ssl with this...Watchwww.youtube.com

just depends on HOW bad you want it?

Where do you get your videos from Kraal?

I was thinking of getting it from Smashvidz.

any pic or video in it..

obviously not. He said coming to itch software

When video finally comes to Itch I'm seriously thinking of adding that to my core business. I know there's other expenses to consider but it's time to take it the next level in 2011. These are very exciting times for DJs of all facets.

I've skipped on Video when VSL came out. Now that It's coming to ITCH I'm not gonna pass on this,It is time to Jump on the Bandwagon.

Would love to see both and eventually we will in ITCH, but for now I do believe Video will be coming before the bridge, mainly because the bridge hasn't even taken off in SSL yet... and also I know of a few good DJ's losing out on gigs to lesser DJ's just because the lessers have video...

Bridge is out in SSL. Has been for sometime now.

Out = Released

I used the NS7 with VDJ and am having a problem with it sounding like it's under water. Now VDJ support team said it's because the NS7 has a motorized platter. So lets hope that when Serato does release it, there won't be any issues.

I apologize to Serato for using your competitors name in your forum. However I feel my info fits the issue.

Key word you said was Pioneer.....

"mainly because the bridge hasn't even taken off in SSL yet..."

I know it's out, I have been fooling around with it, but it HAS NOT taken off yet, it is still in infancy stages, just give it a few more months to see what it does in Scratch Live before we get it in ITCH also...

lol.......It looks like We have to try harder.

How about we focus on getting Itch to be reliable and stable? I'm getting tired of doing voodoo incantations before each set and praying that everything goes well

Well, theres your problem, your doing the wrong type of praying to get itch 1.7.x to work well. Thought you read that already in the manual.

lol ... that was ripe ...

Ive just became a NS7 owner, ive been playin for over 30 + years, I have all combos 1200s-Controllers- Cdjs , but im running this with Virtual DJ 7 to get Vedio, so Itch would be Awesome Too. Thanks Dj Sweet C

Video would be the icing on the cake for us Itch users. If Virtual DJ can have video why can't Itch users? I really want to stay loyal to Itch, but as video usage is becoming more in demand, a software with this feature is a must for most us DJ's these days.

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO BE HEARD!!!!!!

You should have received the Serato Newsletter, there is a survey that they would like you to participate and you get the chance to win one of the following, an SL4, Numark NS6, Pioneer DDJ-S1.

There is a question that says "If you are an ITCH DJ, which of these features are your number one requirement" and one of the options is "Video Mixing". So everyone that has posted in this thread i believe is desperately wanting this feature, now is our time to be heard.

LETS MAKE THOSE GRAPHS CLEARLY SHOW THAT WE WANT VIDEO!

I already did the survey and hopefully all the guys that posted here do the same.

ofcourse i checked all the i love itch just the way it is buttons ;)

YES - VIDEO FOR ITCH NOW PLEASE!!!!
as an owner of both the Sl1 and the VCI-300, I repeatedly choose to use the VCI instead of lugging around these Technic turntables (which have now been discontinued)!!!!
From a business point of view, it's clear that turntables are on their way out for good. With the itch format, there are just too many things that you can do which are impossible to do using turntables. I've been doing video DJ shows internationally for several years now and the biggest issue is stability and size/ weight.
With VCI technology (and similar), the only thing I want for christmas is a video plug in for itch. It will change my world for the better and I can't wait!

Would love to beta test for you as well since I have been tackling VSL plug-in issues constantly with your support team :)

I have been using Scratchlive with Video SL for a while now. I was considering on trying Itch, but won't touch it without an option for video. Serato should atleast offer it for Itch with the bare essentials and can offer upgrades at a later date. I am a fulltime DJ. This is my 9 - 5 ..... I can't make the comittment unless I know that Serato is serious about Itch and it's customers.

I think they are giving ITCH the option for video but we dont know when.

I use the ttm57 for video (locally) I travel a lot & when i do i use the VCI-300 (soon to be replaced with NS6) I WISH SERATO WOULD STEP IT UP AND GIVE ITCH VIDEO.. IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE EASIER. HOPE TO SEE THIS REAL SOON...

Most of us are SSL users and has been wanting this to happen since Day one.

I have a lot of video compilation already! ^_^
Just waiting for itch!


come on! please hurry! ^_^

Taking your time is one thing, but sheesh. :)

till itch gives us video mixing, i'm sadly gonna have to try virtualdj for that for now, danm it!

I use my V7 with VirtualDJ to mix videos and it works pretty well but yeah I'd like to be able to do it in itch.

VDJ video mixing is so horrible i used it the other night with an xponent, didnt have any other choice since they wanted video at the venue, i was so embarrassed by the loss of quality, all my smashvidz videos have pristine quality and VDJ made them look like betamax rips.

Fortunately lots of people nowadays are not very picky and you can throw whatever at them, even youtube rips and they wont care which is sad :|

How's that working for you? What mixer are you using?

I've never really noticed a difference in picture quality. I don't think it would be any different. You might wanna check your settings. If anything VDJ runs way smoother doing video than VSL.



The V7 is pretty much just plug and play with VDJ just like with itch. I've done several nights with no crashes. I don't have a mixer with midi so I just use whatever mixer is on hand and map the video crossfader to the fx slider on the V7. I actually like to mix the video separate from the audio.

Thats what I wanted to know, I have 2 V7's and an X5, so I'm wondering what Serato will do when they release video for Itch. For those of us that don't have midi mixers that is...

Again, just as a reminder, make sure yall fill the Serato Survey that was sent on the newsletter, theres an option there for video as top priority, lets show them how much we care for video.

Zag what newsletter are you referring to?

Serato please give us ITCH with video support

too late now, the survey period is over.

www.serato.com
the survey closes March 8th :)

oh my bad, sorry thought was March 1st.

btw welcome back Pene, its been a while that i've seen you post over here :D, i hope thats a good sign!!

J/K

pene does that mean on the 8th we will be able to dl a new version or bet of itch?

the survey date has no influence on the ITCH 2.0 beta and release dates

@pene and those dates are?????? :-)

As a developer I'd rather not say till I've actually finished writing the code, which is not quite yet. I don't want to get you excited and then disappointed if something goes wrong and it gets slightly delayed.

And hi zaguama :) I've been limiting my time on the forum in favour of writing code but I still stop by now and then ;)

well thats great, a lot of people will be glad to hear that you are hooked up to the matrix working on it ;).

NO ONE interrupt Pene!!

/me passes a cup of coffee to Pene.

Ha I second that zaguama lets take controllers to the next level!!!! I'm tired of these dudes showing up with traktor or vdj to shows out in nyc or clubs and when I ask them can they spin merengue, salsa cumbia or any live band songs like metal they say they have to "beat grid everything" screw that I'm a dj and came from a sl1 with denon 2600's and I been loving not having to lugg around all this big gear i just show up with my vci300 and vfx. I have even spun at my boys barber shop with 4 computer monitors and people where rocking till after hours all i ask is you guys dont take away our visual aids and they way they show up on screen and again thanks for all the hard work :-)


/me passes a bottle of Ciroc Coconut to pete :-)

It looks like its going to be awhile.

yeah, specially since 2 new products are coming out, they are expecting bugs on them that they will have to iron out, etc once the 2 new products are stable we can start thinking about 2.0 :)

Seems like april we are getting some sort of news guys!!!

serato its time for itch with video support !
vdj works at the moment better than u...

good insights (SSL) Watchwww.youtube.com

hopefully ITCH is catching up soon ;)

another suggestion, head over the Video SL general discussion, a lot of productive and interesting topics are being discussed there that will help you in the vj world.

DJ H2
South Bend, In

Lets get crackin boys, I need this like a fat kid needs cake

I'd love support for video. I work outside and in a very dusty, sandy, and even salt water type environment. I've been using Serato Video Plugin since it came out. I've been 100% video since 2006 and need a less expensive hardware solution for my summer days outside. I'm purchasing the Pioneer DDJ-S1 the day it comes out for use in my harsh day environment DJing. I take a complete DJ system backup every time I play. Using the Pioneer DDJ-S1 I wouldn't be able to use as a backup at my night spots because of No Video Support.

Thank You

yes for video!

so theres a rumor going around that Video-SL is on private beta?, hopefully thats true and they are copying/pasting the code as i type this into ITCH source code :D. (j/k)

(frowns @ Zaguama)

There may be a Beta Release that is undergoing testing at this moment. PreRelease Beta versions are actually called "Release Canidates" there are given or made available to a select crowd of Experirenced DJs or Professionals which thuroughly test the software before it is publicaly and released.

Keep in mind Video-SL is a "pay for" plug-in made specifically for Scratch Live.
Although Scratch Live does share some program and language simularities with I.T.C.H. it does not consitute or mean that it can be easily "piped" to work in I.T.C.H. remember both ITCH based controllers and Scratch Live Controllers act as software Dongles in two diverse unique methods. Whereas ITCH controllers do direct signal conversion meaning HID/communications are direct from the station or unit. SL units recieve then process then convert meaning recieve time codesignal from the CD or vinyl then this is translated by the SL box (versions1-4) then to your PC to be further processed.

I am not saying that it is possible or impossible. but I rather play it safe due to reliabilty, stability, and performance. Besides out of respect and ethics to Serato aswell.

Not that I am any sort of "hacker"

:)

JUST SAYING............ I would hate for anyone to see me that way.

I have over 10,000 music videos from promo only - Video Vj is my life - now that i have the ns7 - and went with dj esco advice on how to make it work with video - all is ok but could be alot better - im making it by though with alot of effort on having to manually strip search to fully load 80% of the videos before playing - so it would be nice to have support for video!!!

i wonder if Serato will keep away mixemergency somehow from ITCH (hopefully not) cuz on Scratch Live from what i've read ME dominates.

Yes there is a lot of SL user using ME.

@ Zaguama
I dont think Serato will block MiX E from doing ITCH. ME Expressed some time back they are interested in doing ITCH.

Keep in mind they (ME) are not PC friendly

well all i've read is complaints of VSL on pc lol.

@Dj_Esco.....actually normally a "Beta" version comes out before a "Release Canidate" the versions before "Beta" versions are normally called "Alpha" versions. Release Canidates is normally after the initial "beta" version testing to get the obvious bugs. So really a Release Canidiate can be the same as a final version if no more bugs are found in the Release Canidate testing. Otherwise when a bug is found the next version would be RC1 then RC2 ect. until the "Final" or "Gold" version.

^^ right^^

true and clearly put. Well done.

I havent had problems with video on PC. The only issue I had was with the latest ATI video driver (caused a memory leak while doing video) which is not a problem for me anymore after patched it.

u doing video sl or virtual dj?

Video mixing is all over, people just haven't realize how important it will towards the future! Yes to video!!!
(back to the main topic)

Yes to Video support for Itch. I am a mostly Video DJ (Promo Only, 8th Wonder) and right now I'm using VDJ with my VCI-300.

Let's get it going with this video!

Now you're gettting ridiculous.

Truth? Which truth?

Why do you think should Serato give VSL away for free? It's an add-on, a different product, something which requires development, testing and support. Why should this be given away for free?

For sure not for the reason stated by DJSyndic8. However, I could well see Serato including VSL in ITCH as a competitive move. We'll discover it soon.

Is 1.5 working OK for you?

Updates makes it always better but sometimes it needs some minor re-touches.

@djcerla +everyone in here
@Serato @Numark


There are afew others in the works of releasing video on platform that will or currently work with the NS7. Of the two companies which have spoken with me, one is releasing it as a free plugin availible after thier update, the second will be selling the software. In addition from discussions in the past and last weeks conversation Mix Emergency has been looking at the NS7 and other simular controllers and considering also expanding to include support for PC OS (Both 32 and 64 Bit versions in Win 7 and Vista)

Serato does have alot on thier plate at this time. I am not certain what their market stratagey will continue to be, but, one thing is for certain as times progress in the form of modernization and the presentation of new technologies so do the demands and listed expectations of the real modern DJ. A DJ no longer just plays music we innovate a new path and add new dimensions through our presentations and performances by taking the tools and instruments given to us by the manufacturers and product developers and forging them into a new levels.

Numark has allways led the market in bringing certain features and technologies first. (Think about this) then all others follow in the footsteps.

As far as software all the companies know the profit margin is phenominal. The real expenses are in Product Development (Which extends from brainstroming, deciding if the idea is feasable and its market potiential. Once this is established then actually making the software then testing the "B-Jesus" out of it and debugging process will commence and then a stabil release is made. The nice part is unlike hardware the associated cost is far less simply becuase there is no parts or assembly process. The distribution process is easy just put it on a CD, USB, e-mail it, etc.. vs Package it using custom made foam molds, plastic wrap and desicants.. Ithink you get the idea)

Anyways, both sides have to contend with the markets they are in, new softwares are out, new features and advances etc... Serato does a great job at teaming up with companies that will incorporate and deploy thier products such as seen with both Rane and Numark.

The concept ecveryone should be having is: Design something that is flexible, modular upadatable and and expandable through both hardware and software, dont just keep up with industry demand but exceed its expectations and become the top industry innovator and you are beyond the worth of your weight in Gold. ◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ By the way this advice is free LOL But dont release something they want due to expectation and you almost become the ugly redheaded step child in a matter of seconds.

Be patient and see what solutions our industry will offer...

"with the Earth's estimated population of 6.91 Billion and the lessening of global Forestation, I fear someday soon we may run out of Oxygen" <Being Sarcastic

Are you kidding? The only thing that Numark is famous for bringing to the marketplace is a whole bunch is subpar equipment that breaks just taking it out of the box. THAT is the history of Numark.

I agree that they have recently started to change their philosophy regarding their products...but that, in no way, would ever lead anyone to believe that they have "led the market" in anything but returns.

They have a long way to go.

+1 the ability to use video with my NS7 yep bring it on.
I am happy to pay for Video-SL to run on it I don't want anything for nothing here just the ability to add the function.
I wont mention the fabled release we all hope for.... damm just did lol

@VJ Justin Allen
Ok lets really think about this.

When CDJs came about who brought scratching on CDs???
what about mp3 support??
what about FX (realtime effects processing)???

Then all the other big names implemented it too.

This is what I was saying.

As far as QA (quality Assurance) I think they have raised their bar on their products.

But hey opinions are like a*s holes everyone has one LOL.
However we do value your opion and input.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@ DjSyndic8
I am pulling video off 2 diffrent ways and testing the crap out of it and I have become confident enough where I can use video mixing and effects durring performances. The only thing I will say is durring my testing (approx 4 Months of serious testing I have found 2 things that will be your enemy:

1. Video Driver: certain versions of ATI's video driver actually caused a memory leak to occur. (there are fixes for this aswell as other versions which will work perfectly)

2. Hard drive going into any temporary sleep or suspend mode. Notice in all of the softwares the common thing is to render the file creating a page file of the video. When you load an entirely new track which has not been rendered/analysed there is a few seconds that will pause the GUI as the drive begins to spool to proper speeds and the file is addressed and loaded. it does not matter how fast of a system you have it will happen unless you prevent your drive from sleeping.

To simulate end user scenarios I tried 3 file configurations:
1. Storing the video files (various types) locally on the same drive as the OS. (C:)
2. Storing the video files (various types) locally on a diffrent drive from the OS. (D:)
3. Storing the video files (various types) Using USB (E:)

#2 works the best and the drive seems to never stop (this can also be changed in the configurations/settings of your OS.

I experimented with VDJ version 6 something way back in June 09 and then got video properly running on it then later posted it On October 9th 2009 Watchwww.youtube.com
A few months later I posted a MIDI map for everyone who is a registered Pro user of VDJ to be able download and to use to fully support the NS7 properly.
I did not however include mapping to support simutaneous support of both the NS7 and NSFX. I was planning to do mapping to use the NSFX as a selector of video FX and use the x faders on it to set the level or threshold. But honestly got lazy due to other projects I am working on which reminds me I need to fix the platter "start" and "stop" time (just need to be mapped and properly)

To answer your question VDJ for video works well. Here is a video showing a mockup of a setup I use when using Virtual DJ:
Watchwww.youtube.com

I cant post what I am currently working on (at this time) but stay tuned. But it will be definately interesting to see what Serato will release or unleash this April in it's longly awaited new version release of ITCH many rumors and speculations have been made along wth plenty comments from SeratoHQ drumming it all up.

The question still remains When and What?
When will we have it?
and
What will it have for us???? (Will it finally have video??? and 4 decks on the NS7????)

DJ.Esco™ ©

Good work Esco!

DJ Esco,

You do realize that there are people on these boards that have been doing video for 7 plus years and working with VSL, Serato, computers and video issues on these boards for the last 3 years? Both of your "issues" that you talk about have been extensively covered on these boards during this time.

While it's great that you are just learning these things, spend a bit of time looking at the past work of lots of people...it might save you a bit of time.

Hopefully this helps you.


To; DjSyndic8:

You had some issues with an Itch version so now you want a feature that everyone else pays for free? Sorry, life rarely works that way. Yes, there are some issues with Itch 1.7 but before you throw everything out the door let's look at your set-up. Can you fill out the information in your profile and list the equipment that you are using?

I agree.

To be covered: Download the *free* test drive version. Only if it works good, go and shell out some money. Easy.

(DJ.Esco™ ©◄◄◄◄◄◄◄
@ VJ Justin Allen Here is a some light for you.

Keep in mind this forum thread is not about SSL (Scratch Live nor the not the Plug-in for it VSL ) it is about ITCH and supporting Video within ITCH natively. If you had stated anywhere in your comment something along the lines "we have been running video in ITCH for... 2 seconds.. three days.. 10 years.... etc..... then I would be good with your comment. But instead I feel you missed the short buss on this one (Please READ next time)

1st. I will not touch base on the programming schemes used in ITCH vs. SSL
as these are proprietary to Serato.

However keep in mind the various versions of Catalyst drivers that are currently out there in addition to the plauseability of a generic patch that will search for calls within the program, if present will ignore, if not then will create a string to run only the call function on program launch in short create a tempoary program patch each time it is run. Keep in mind MY goal (for simplicity sake and reliability) is to not to have the end user have to go and perform tis regisrty fixes or changes in system settings you guys have had to do in the past.

By the way even though you have been doing video for 7+ years understand that Serato Introduced Video for SL on January 2008 (Just merely 3 years ago)
but while you are in here kindly explain the file transport limitiations on certain file types in addition to some of the issues encountered on some systems vs. others due to system configuration processing of decoders, plug-ins etc.................

In short please read before posting instead of being so eager jump or bash a comment or statement.

Respectfully,

DJ.Esco™ ©

First off, bashing other forum member in an effort to make yourself look good is never a sign of an intelligent individual. But let's get past that for a moment.

I love how you assume that the issues that ScratchLive had do not reflect in the Itch programming. You think that they just decided to start all over and program without the benefit of all the work that had gone on beforehand? Let's get back to that one as well.

I am not sure where you are coming from concerning the...what great buzzwords did you use..."I will not touch base on the programming schemes used in ITCH vs. SSL
as these are proprietary to Serato." ah yes, this was the sentence. I am quite sure that I never asked you to explain the differences to me. But I love how you have placed yourself into the minds of the Serato Programmers and think that you actually know the difference between the two of them.

I would love to hear your thought process on the "file transport limitations" of file types. What do you actually think that means?

Last thing and then I am pretty much done with you. It's considered very poor taste to quote another poster and then change their original post. While I am sorry that seems to be the only way you feel you can make your point, it really is bad form.

Have a great day.

Wow Justin, for someone who has been spinning videos for so long and knowing so little about the technology (proofs can be found all over the Video SL forum) you are dishing out hard - too hard. Not appropriate.

pardon me if I don't actually take your opinion seriously nik39...with us being such good friends and all.

People can read what you post :) No need for me to "convince" anyone.

C'mon now - let's not derail this discussion please.

@VJ Justin Allen

I guess the best way I can explain when I said "file transport" or you can refer to as a file handeling scheme by the program itself. be it "opening the file using the "original codec","a plug-in" then representing, relaying, or directly presenting the translated or decoded information. Does this make more scence to you?
------------------
I felt this was easier in its original format than having to try to explain it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
When I said "Keep in mind this forum thread is not about SSL (Scratch Live nor the the Plug-in for it which is VSL ) it is about ITCH and supporting Video within ITCH natively." I was refering to the fact that the forum is a petition for ITCH video and not VSL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
And when I stated "I will not touch base on the programming schemes used in ITCH vs. SSL as these are proprietary to Serato" I meat I will not go into details, refrence, make comparisions between the programs or decompile the coding used in an attempt to moddify or chage the program from its original intended form. I just thought this was a quick and short way of saying it but I guess I should of been more clear.

As far as intelligence quite frankly I dont consider myself to be bright at all ;)
BTW: This time I quoted myself hopefully I wont piss my self off and thank you for the great day comment (my day was fantastic)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------


Returning back to Original Subject matter:

@ Serato
@ChrisD

Have you guys taken a count of how many thus far have petitioned?
And any new news for us???

We're listening as always Esco :-)

I interested in that you do not see the release of the Pioneer DDJ-S1 release video, around the 9 minute mark, where they state that video for Itch will work with the DDJ-S1.

To me that either means that video IS coming or that Pioneer lied. However since Serato has not rebutted that video you have to assume that it is true.

That being the case, the petition seems a bit useless at this time...unless I am missing something?

It really seems that you are asking for a release date...which Serato has always maintained will be when the product is ready. While I have only had Itch for a short time I would imagine that they have the same policy for Itch as they do with their other products.....Release happens when it's ready and Serato does not speculate as to when it will be ready.

So, given this information, I am confused as to your petition.

Well have a look at the date of the first post (30 September 2010). Does this clears your confusion?

thanks ...it does, kind of. He seems to be asking the same question today that he asked back then.

Lol

Stay on topic pls.

I need to know how to be a distributor for Serato controllers :D, when they put video-SL in there i'm gonna sell this shit like hotcakes in my country!

Hoping in three days the mods add a link to see itch video to this thread ;)

Video is a red hot feature at the moment, after some pretty good Top DJs performances at Ultra. Having a video plugin for ITCH would be a perfectly timed killer app.

And guess what, Mixed In Key guys are about to release OneIdea, a software to easily convert audio files to custom video clips

ohhhh yeah they been working on that for a while. let me check on that.

They still in a limited beta phase

When I said "about to release OneIdea" I meant sometime Q4 (according to my estimations)

I think I need a drink after all of that... :-)

@VJ Justin Allen

I think you are refering to: The "Pioneer DDJ-S1 Controller Intro with Aeroplane" Video
Watchwww.youtube.com

He starts on 9m:06s by saying: "But one of the most exciting prospects is what's in store for our NEW Serato ITCH users in 2011. We scope for incorporating popular plug-ins like Video SL and the British partnership with Ableton on the Horizon we really can't wait to see how things develop."

Honestly the word prospect is used as well as scope. refering to 'looking foward to in the future' (would of been nice if he would of said 'definate" or simular)

BTW If you read through the product sheet for the DDJ-S1 found here on Pioneer's site: www.pioneerelectronics.com
you will see there is no mention of Video on the page. Although it does mention the words "Original functionality" refering to the current or fist version of ITCH and then follwed by the statement "Unique features" refering to song progression status LED, alphabetic search function, slip mode for looping, reversing, and scratching without changing the song tempo.
Serato has not rebutted that video due to they (meaning Serato) have stated they are 'looking' into video for scratch. Pioneer is not lying based on the fact this is prospected to be comming sometime in the near future. :)
------------------------------
Anyways you are welcome to post and share your ideas as much as you like. Just keep in mind this thread was started as a petition and I would like to maintain it as such and so would Serato (from the looks of it).

I will end this conversation with all due respect to you and the memebers of this forum including Searto by saying my apologies go out to all of you if you felt the rise of friction or anylevel of disrespect. And now may this Thread return to being a Petition as it was once, again.

Respectfully,

★♕♕♕♕★

My man Dj Esco and VJ Justin Allen, I think we all want the same thing....ADD video along with other features (a faster database).

I'm at the point I just want to see the version move from 1.7.

1.8-1.9 would be great.....ANYTHING now.

Either way, I can see you two working together soon, considering he has a VJ moniker in front of his name ;)

sorry guys, looks like we continue to wait patiently :)

the good thing is that if the underlying architecture of ITCH is now very similar to SSL, should be fairly easy for Inklen to port MixEmergency to ITCH, just a theory, im no programmer.

This would be very good news though.

+ 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000........ Infinity

that would be nice......

Where did SERATO say this. Ive read this all over the board but NEVER from SERATO. just because it has a pretty makeover doesnt mean it has SSL underpinnings or integration.

It would be great if that were true but pure speculation at this point.

he said 'just a theory'

.....from my public beta post,

You got the wrong sentence on your Tagalog.................lol

Sneak peak of ITCH 2.0 to be released Q3 of 2011
www.youtube.com
Has some good features and improvments WTG. BTW no mention of Video.

maybe 2.1, keep hope alive!!

To simulate end user scenarios I tried 3 file configurations:
1. Storing the video files (various types) locally on the same drive as the OS. (C:)
2. Storing the video files (various types) locally on a diffrent drive from the OS. (D:)
3. Storing the video files (various types) Using USB (E:)

Have you tried using an external solid-state drive? I was thinking about trying it out since i used a usb flash drive it was working good - though i didnt play a whole nights set on the flash. i'm gonna look into your mapping too - thanks for helping out!

Very expensive.. Love to buy the 500GB

Translation gone bad.

I getting the ddj-s1, i only work whit video and virtual dj right now, i don't wanna have to decide between ddj-s1 ans ns7 please!

Maybe people just arnt saying please enough. Please add video?

I'd also like to see Serato begin a semi-private beta program for upcoming products & testing, as this would open the door for better testing of compatibility on various systems. I'm already in the private beta group for M-Audio (sorry guys, I'm not allowed to distribute pre-release drivers, so don't ask =] ). I'd be willing to be part of a private beta for Serato to test for bugs, etc (especially if this could accelerate the release of Video for Itch & future feature releases). I would prefer not to use the beta versions at my live gigs, but I'd be happy to test in my apartment & possibly for my internet radio broadcasts (from my apartment). Since I'm already part of another private beta program, I'm familiar with testing procedures & the feedback process. I don't want to post my email on here (to avoid spam bots), but you're welcome to use the contact form on my website (djcmount.com)...on the off chance that someone from Serato development reads this.

If your new to the forums chances are you might not be given that previlige.

i am pretty sure like most companies they have something like that in place

I don't think my boss would be so happy if i tell him that i can't play video cause of itch and we have to wait for about 2 or 3 years more F##$$#k!!

then what do you plan to tell him?

Tell your boss to get VDJ.

I almost hate saying this (leaves room for an uproar) but I tested solid state drives and I will say I love the data speeds. However, to my surprise I found and discovered that Hybrid drives (keep in mind as I say the following that this does not apply all brands and types) Someone pointed out the transfer rate on a Hybrid drive was actually faster so I decided to test it. I will say I am very happy with them and it cost me considerably less then going with the solid state drives.
They are currenly available in 500 and 700 GB configurations. I use 2 One for my OS and the other to keep my videos in.
Always check the cache size and transfer speeds.

Tell him to provide fire spitting models and high class skimmpy go go dancers
LOL

It's not your bosses fault that you purchased Itch instead of ScratchLive. Not wanting to harp on it but, as been said many times, you should purchased the equipment that you need at the time...and not buy anything HOPING that it will do something you want it to in the future.

+1000

Tell your boss you f@#k 'd up and recommend a DJ that owns Video SL/ME or virtual DJ...LOL

Sorry i live in the virtual dj forum now!

Haha.
Serato and Ableton introduce... THE BRITISH!

THE BRITISH™, Tube DJ Controller for unparalleled sound warmth

I'm still waiting the BrITCH... ;)

I would just like to hear from somebody at serato that when i buy a pioneer ddj-s1 this week that at some point i can use it for video. Im using my ttm57 and cds but would liek the option to use the plug in for itch. Am i gonn be waiting a year for this to happen. Lord i hope not.

I strongly suggest you to buy a SSL setup and do video NOW. Video for ITCH was only hinted, not announced yet.

Don't buy it yet........Wait until it's implemented.

i doubt you will hear that just wait till video is available if it is EVER available --- cause right now everything i read about the ddj-s1 says nothing about video

I use video for ssl but want the option at some point.

my gut feeling is that it's coming soon, BTW if you already have SSL, just get your S1 and enjoy it.

I do have a SSL but I'm stil waiting to buy a VSL just the fact that I don't know If we can use VSL for ITCH.

no you cannot

Right now we can not....... I understand that but if they decide to make a different Video plug in for ITCH there is no reason for me to buy V-SL.

It better be same plug-in. that would really be a joke.

lol.......I feel the same way.

oh i got ya .....

Video for Itch would make me soooo happy haha. Ive been trying to find a way around this limitation, is it possible to set up a visualizer through midi?

it may be upsetting but not everyone owns both programs so really it is not that big of a deal

I bet if that thing happens there will be more V-SL owner getting an ITCH controller this will translate more money in there pockets......lol

I bought my ddj-s1 last week, i only do video using virtual dj, there's not mapers for it right now and no itch video plug in so you really gotta think about it!

I don't understand you guys.
You'll only buy a "insert ITCH controller here" if Serato makes video for ITCH?
Why go with ITCH at all?
Sure, we're always asking for (sometimes very obvious) new features all the time. But Serato never announced/assured any feature that wasn't already available.

I think with the promotional video for ITCH 2.0 it might be the first time ever that we got information on a new product that early. And does it mention video support? No!
Pene actually said that she's still coding it so for me I'm pretty sure that we won't see video in 2011. It's sad and I hope video and The Birdge (and other great things) will come asap. But this is how things appear to me at this time. And we all see the results as time goes on...

Coding the support for a plugin is not the same as coding the plugin itself! :) That work is already done.

So where is it?
But you got my point :)

Here serato.com

Or... did you?

I know V-SL for Scratch Live.

I was talking about the announcement of ITCH 2.0.
How it doesn't mention video.

I don't think it's as simple as "let's get that plug-in we already did and put it in the product". Sure, with V-SL they have the most things done and the know-how to go further. We all know how the future of ITCH will look because we know how SL looks right now. We just don't know when...

It could well be as simple as that, once the modular architecture is in place.

you are not lost when you are looking for something that doesn't exist....

and i see djcerla's point but at this juncture it isnt helping cause his recent video with the v6 is making everyone beleive he is in the 'Know' so if 2.0 comes out with no video then there will be more up road cause of all the 'hinting' towards it

ahahah no I'm not "in the know" unfortunately. But video was hinted in the Pioneer video, and in other sources like comments in this forum.

^ that's what kills this forum. People get worked up about hints.


Sooooo, to add to that ---- there was a screen shot taken of Itch 2.0 and it looked ALOT like it had a tab that said Video next to SP-6!

=O

How in the world speculating about hints may kill a forum? Please elaborate. To me it's exactly the opposite.

Seriously? You think it's the opposite man.

All the speculating and looking into "hints" is what has created hopeful expectations that have not been officially announced or released. Just look at the reactions when the 2.0 vid was released and there was no mention of video.

yeah but he has a point look at how many other post there has been... the forum would be empty :)

LOL!!!

EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree. Thats why I add to it and remind folks of what looked like a video tab in 2.0

Bring it on. I wanna start messing around with my NS7 some more. This will give me a reason....time to learn video. Those vids they posted Joachim were sweet.

**eyeing an NS6!**

:)

I bought a ns6 intead of pionner, played with both and for the money ns6 is much for for the buck and built just as well. Im a happy camper

the ns6 isnt out yet

Sorry i ordered it after playing with one, figured people knew what i meant

i thought that till the 'happy camper' part that made me think you were using one

No just played with it and a pionner ddj-s1 and for the money and what you get. Numark was actually better and seemed just as well built. I was just suprised how much more you get for less money.

actually i think there are a lot of hidden gems in the ddj-s1

Ya im sure if i spent more time maybe. Just was a really tough choice. I know pioneer is industry standard but not being able to have the mixer 4 channles and available as a stand alone mixer really made choice easy for me as a dj who does mobile sometimes

I would bet the Numark is the better choice. With Pioneer you always pay the "club-standart-pain-in-the-ass" name. Numark just don't have the reputation of Pioneer.

If Numark keeps their quality up to par they might be the next club standard.

They better not screw up......lol

Windows PCs are the undoubtedly the "standard", to a point that Apple was about to go bankrupt in the 90's... but the "underdog" is now flourishing :) there is space for many players in any market, with very different business models.

Whats the best controller to use for video until Itch adds a plug in. Im familiar with Virtual DJ using the Hercules controller. Is there a better combo? Serato would kill the market with an Itch plug in using the V7,s especially since it seems Traktor has no interest in it.

Ya if itch gets video it will be on. Then i can use a controller at my video gigs witch would be awesome.

Video mixing it's been around for about 5 years now? I didn't learn how to use vegas, final cut,after fx,cinema 4d for nothing you know! about serato scratch for midi controllers?

I didn't buy itch yet just because the lac of the video plugin , i truly need such a compact tool (like numark ns6 for example) for mobile smaller gigs where it is too complicated to carry turntables and so on (in some places the dj boot is too small), i would deffinetly spend some extra $$$ for the video plugin .
+1trilion...bilon from my part for this petition.

found it

found what?

@ Serato please delete the 3:48 PM 6 May 2011 post by DJ_Esco
@ kraal this was not intended to be posted (sorry for the confusion)

Kraal have you played with both the pioneer and the numark?

darn i thought you found a video easter egg :)

ask me the same question in about 3 weeks :)

What happen did we loose? no video?

lose what ? this is an unofficial petittion not a 'if you dont get enough signatures it will not happen' plan

@kraal, lol lol lol lol

AMEN!

First proof of it - working flawless with Traktor - I'm getting that monster of a machine.

No disrespect to itch - but if the Ns6 can do Traktor - it can do pretty much every other piece of dj software - .....cept SSL. But whatever. Being that flexible - as hardware - that sucker will be my next move.

numark and traktor have made a mapper for it

Thats what I heard - but til I see video or some sort that it works - well enough to play out with - ill be on the fence waiting.

I mean - traktor doesn't have any controller with touch sensitive platters...might get screwed there like we gpwned for having motorized platters.

But I'm hopeful! Read they might even map the Ns7...

Be still my heart! Ha.

it is not numark ---- numark is working on mapping for ns7 for traktor2 but NI needs to make some tweeks to make it work

Im suprised if numark builds a product with serato like the ns7 or ns6 that serato would let them be able to use another software with them. I no its the right thing to do but justs suprises me. seems like they would want that product only for there software

I mean ns6 has serato and itch stamped in big ass letters all over it

NS7,NS6,PioonerT1,S-1 etc. Are Itch B%$#@ches They won't work whit any other softwear

Ya they will. lol lol

you are wrong --- cause if you think about it serato profits even more if people purchase them for other software

^ exactly.

making the mapping is not the hard part. Making the platters work with Traktor as good as they do with Itch that's what im interested in seeing.

That won't happen cause they won't share the documentation to the developers of vdj or traktor

yeah....thats why im interested to see it because Numark is announcing the NS6 as being released with mappings for VDJ and Traktor.

it has nothing to do with serato at that point.... do you really think numark/vestax ect dont know how their controllers work? they are thinks that the SOFTWARE companies need to implement. If they choose not to do that the it is on them not numark or serato

I've been thinking about that.... maybe in the case of the ns7, v7, ns6...maybe the software in use really isn't design to handle the large data streams those systems output...

I say this with the same breath I remember that the closest support we have to an alternate choice to itch is Vdj....

...that seems so strange to me.

Remember VDJ is Cue repackaged for Numark. So it really does make sense.

guys realy??? i'm still praying for video suport for itch because i need it i wouldnt mint spending an extra $$$ for the plugin , i need a reliable and profesional alternativ for vsl for my mobile gigs , i have 2 of those / week so i'm pretty tired of carrying 1200's & cdj-s around , so i'm getting desperate , if traktor would implement video use with their s4 i would jump right on one of those , tried vdj (the only alternative on the market that features video besides vsl) but it pretty much sucs with video & audio :(( so pls let's continue triying to convince the wizars from serato that it's quite important to implement a video plugin for itch.

I'm very sure video will come for ITCH but I don't think it will happen this year.
On the other hand NI already made clear that they're not thinking into that "video direction".
But to be honest:
I don't see where that Traktor hype comes from anyway. The software is around for eons and all they have managed to do is FX, autosync, a sampler, and maybe the crappiest way of MIDI mapping ever seen. Oh... I almost forgot: colored waveforms!

@mister alex, numark already said they have made them work with those produts. Look at the website. lol lol

We just need itch to come out with video period. Hope this option is not like Dr Dre with his album detox that never comes out.

Video will come. Period.
Nobody outside Serato knows when. Period.
Fill any childish comment here. Period.

I am joining the petition for video support!

I've Already mapped the NS7 for Virtual DJ Pro 7 (There is a Midi Map available for download in VDJ downloads) Everything works.
There are videos on YouTube as well. (djesco075)
Using the NS7 to do video mixing and transitions in addition to having added a KP3 and using it as a mapped MIDI controller Watchwww.youtube.com
Old Vid Demonstrating Mic and Headphone Support plus video Watchwww.youtube.com
4 Deck Control using the NS7 Watchwww.youtube.com

But I am still waiting to see what Serato is going to give us or bring to the table....
Untill then I am working on some other avenues.
BTW (food for thought) if you analize all your files while having the SSL Video Plug-in you will be able to see the video files in your crates and you will be able to play them (the audio portion will be audiable) however you will not be able to see the video.

Also I am putting a group of local DJs in Houston and Miami feel free to hit me up on any of the following for more details if u are in the area:

@DjSyndic8 and Other(s)

I have tested and used it with both PC/Windows 7 32 bit and 64 Bit versions (on a PC) as well as Mac OSX (Snow Leopard on a Intel Based Macbook Pro)

Running the NS7 without mapping or proper installation using the VDJ can result in performance and sound quality issues. Here are some of my findings using both VDJ and ITCH as well as PC and Mac hope this helps.

The issues I have had are the same I found in ITCH. Being the External USB Hard drive going into sleep or suspend. I have noticed that although performance may be better with larger RAM there seems to be a tendency to load the entire track or a great portion of it to memory when ever possible (as this is faster than running from the HDD) In short the issue is at times when left unattended playing and the system is not accessing the external HDD you will notice there will be a temporary freeze of the GUI (be it VDJ or ITCH) while the HDD begins to spool up to 72k RPM 54k RPM or which ever then loads cache file and is back in syncrony. which only takes a few seconds but is truely annoying.

The work around or fix I have found for this is installing an internal HDD instead of using a USB external HDD. (I eliminated my internal CD/DVD RW and replaced it with an internal HDD adapter kit to add a HDD directly in my system) and the problem I previously described is gone.

Although I managed to MIDI map for PC I have not tried on MAC just as of yet. However, the configurations for both can be found also on VDJ forums and on my Youtube video(s) I will be releasing a new version for Mac users shortly. From all the testing I have done (and anyone who knows me can tell you I will test the "B-Jezus" out of anything :) this is what I have found:

in ITCH: it is best to anylize any of the files before use.
VDJ: does not need to anylize but its best to use the built in file explorer instead of dragging and dropping from windows explorer.
BOTH: will build the wave form on loading.

As far as quality:
VDJ will play the file exactly as it is being manageable through parametric EQs and other processing available through plugins.
ITCH: Seems to change the level and pitch when performing things such as scratching (slightly enhancing the sound) <-- This reminds me of the old school days when the DJ would adjust the EQ knobs when scratching. However ITCH has no parametric EQ or ability to add additional effects at this time.
BOTH: have full control of the software EQ through on the NS7.

The problem (or glitch) I found in VDJ with MAC is when using the latest driver and firmware from Numark. Symptom is on first load of any track video or just audio will sound warbled or like underwater (you must turn the platter motor off for approximately 2 seconds) then turn the motor back on and sound quality will be back to normal. Atomix Productions (VDJ) have been amde aware of the issue and are looking into the matter presently.

BTW: I noticed Cracked and keygened Versions of VDJ have had problems with stability when others have used them.

Hope this helps.

DJ Esco

Thanks for this DJ Esco, I have been wanting to use VDJ for the video but the sound quality sucks so I have been using itch...looks like I have my work cut out for me to use the video feature but it looks like it will be well worth it...Thanks again!!!!

@Tishica14 are you using the PC or MAC platform?

Itch Software was Publicly released on September 18 2008 bundled with the Vestax VCI-300
then on November 28, 2008 with the Numark NS7.
Effects were later introduced by use of the Vestax VFX-1 controller developed exclusively for ITCH and the VCI-300. The controller was first released in Japan on October 16 2009 immediately followed by the public release of the Numark NSFX effects controller designed exclusively for use with the NS7.

Nearing 3 years of successful development and progress with various DJ equipment industry partners such as Numark, Allen & Heath, Vestax, Pioneer, Denon a global drum roll was created introducing new controllers and a new Version of Serato's acclaimed ITCH software.

Durring this "Drum roll" comments were made of the possibility of see new advanced features such as multiple decks, control, and.......the POSSIBILITY of VIDEO was mentioned on a video for Pioneer's latest ITCH based controller. The key word is mentioned, one should note that it was never stated how or what software would be used, meaning others who support video could make use of the controller such as Atomix Production's Virtual DJ 7 Pro software or others. But one also should keep in mind it was never directly stated by Serato that video playback in ITCH was going to be made available, although some mention(s) were made on twitter by SeratoHQ and on the Serato forums that they were looking or working on things when asked if video playback would become available in ITCH. (what exactly they were working on we will perhaps never know). Based solely on a mixture of imagination, hope and creative thinking (commonly known as "misinterpretation" ) people began to create blogs, comments saying ITCH would support Video and was being released very soon. The Ooohs and Aahhhhhhs began to be felt, the anxiety attacks that video addicted DJ were having began to reside into a state of calm, based on this new found glimmer of hope they themselves created.

On the Serato forefront a petition was started by some random unknown individual (a said DJ Esco) :)
in hopes making it publicly visible what the public wants and felt they needed. In doing so, the level wanting to have the capability of Video became remarkably clear to Serato, ITCH users, and other software developers.

In short nearing 3 years ITCH 2.0 was publicly released bringing, new features, enhancements, bug fixes, 4 deck control....and as some with better character than my own would say "NO *BLEEPING* VIDEO!!! WTF"

Wow! They must be cooking up something really good for all of us then!!!
To be continued..... So Keep Posted. ;)

Is ITCH 2.0 available yet? Very disappointing that there will be NO VIDEO SUPPORT in this version, either. Other features sound cool, though.

There is no definite date on when video is coming but that's the next logical step. For everybody that has been here for awhile and waiting including me. We really can't do nothing about it until they decide when to put it in I believe it's in the works and hopefully before Christmas we get it.

cant wait 2 try it just downloaded it!

I am good no complaints here. Although I will say I was really looking forward to it in ver 2.
What I wanted to do is point out the fact that these things take time and that we (meaning the forum users) are at fault for making speculations or taking things out of context.

I short I look forward to the day ITCH will natively support video. Honestly I think it will come in the form of another hardware interface such as the NSFX and VFX-1 or it may be made only available to users of a new yet to be released controller (such as the 4 deck feature).

Honestly I don't know. Only time will tell.

Umm..am I missing something? I do not see where 2.0 is out yet. I have going to the "check for updates" through itch and the home page here on serato and no where on here do I see an option for the update, so please let me where to go for the update.

Click here serato.com Go to the top of where the Stickys are.

It's the 2.0 beta not the final version ...

Thank you so much, I see it now :)

They had to rewrite itch so they could handle plugins and as you see now they can so video isnt far behind. Thats the great news. Itch 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the program. I say kudos to serato.

Good, it looks good so far; I hope video is not too far behind :)

Hopefully before the holidays........lol

so i went to the source and this is what he said:

edit
So, i'm just wondering if you guys will try to experiment with ITCH now that version 2.0 has a plugins architecture similar to the one on ScratchLive. A large community is waiting for this major step forward.

Thanks.

No - it's not quite as simple as that unfortunately.



Hopefully Serato decides to work with them on a plugin rather than waste time with their VSL.

you are talking about talking to mixemergancy?

yea, the copy paste removed the Inklen portion below his name.

I would really love it if video was added to itch. I pray that this is something that they are hard at work on at serato. I am just crossing over to the vj world and as of now i will be using vsl but i own a ns7 and would really love have a option as to wich one of serato's interfaces i will use for a gig rather it be in a club or a mobile gig. I am a former VDJ user and i dnt to much care for their interface and I really want to use my ns7 to do video inside of itch

we need this, then i will crossover to itch.... (allow M.E... Please)

I've been a itch user for 5+ years now but considering switching to software that will allow Vjing. I hope Serato steps up to the plate before they loose a customer.

actually aslong as you dont sell you gear you can always 'join in' once itch catches up :)

You'll be back once they implement it.

LOL

right...it is not like you have to buy it again

The lack of video is what is holding me back pulling the trigger with Itch. A video plugin would be great!

BTW, I'm an SSL user.

ok now itch 2.0 is out , what will come next i have noticed two groups around here the ones rooting for itch video plugin and the ones rooting for implementation of the bridge , hopping video will come first . and hoping this will happen as soon as posible , i'm getting older everyday and the gear becomes more heavy after each gig :(( .
so once again +1 for video plugin in itch!!!!

+300 i feel you on the = i'm getting older everyday and the gear becomes more heavy after each gig :(( yup since i mobile dj by my self :-(

@ DJSyndic8 yeah even my darn NS7 in its odyssey case is a B___h. when i do school dances & have to hoist it up on stage ohhhh boyeeee :-(

+1000 i say a prayer b4 every gig, im always tense about certain venues and crowds....

+1 Video is needed on the platform. Now after stability issues have been for the most part taken care off....let's rock with Video!

Is anyone asking them self y serato itch wasn't stable from the beginning? Before selling a 1300 dollar peice u would think theyd at least have it totally stable.. I have more issues with itch every show... Last show some of my playlist went corrupt. In return losing some tracks. I think there scared to compete with other softwares that already do video with ns7 (ie vdj)! Or otherwise they'd dropped it by now!

what software is totally stable?

Really? All the software I use every day could accurately be described as stable. If it weren't I wouldn't use it. And although I don't use Windows every day I would include that in the list.

Stable is not the same thing as bug-free. There's no such thing as bug-free software, but there's definitely such a thing as stable software.

Exactly. If Itch was not stable no one would buy any of these controller.

I better understand where both partyies are coming from. But you wouldn't change a major part ( feature) of a vehicle after some one has had it working correct for 3 years. It feels alot like a mechanic, fixing something that didn't need changed. :)
I know how to pitch bend to match the next song perfectly fine so i did this during the last show. But the sync button seems to be broken sometime or all the time. The older versions would let u sync much easier. After doing many work arounds to get my system finally moving smooth, it corrupts my playlist. Note this happen before switch to see 2.0....

I guess I'm only upset because I love both numark and serato companies as a whole. I just held em to a high standard. I didnt think they would release a new version with changes to any of the features. Call me crazy but bridge or video would have been a much better feature/plugin than a new sync feature.

and if you read the people are using stable meaning bug free because they are claiming itch is not stable.

i believe it still has bugs and have witnessed this to the fulliest. the Software has bugs on different systems and has a new sync feature that should of never been added... just my thought on the sync... it wasnt broken so dont fix it lol. what IPAD Compatibility is very nice... found it this morning... Only Problem is getting it to link up with my windows laptop... Watchwww.youtube.com

need to connect adhoc or over a wireless network...

Yes - please give VideoSL to itch2.0

i bought me SL1 on 2006 - change it to SL3 + Video-SL in late 2010
on Januar - i change 90% off my music in Mp4 and video mixing gonna more popular

now i have more and more problems with damaged Technics Turntables in Clubs - also i get my first booking in a popular club WITHOUT working turntables and a very bad mixer
(please! i don´t want start a discusion - if clubs must have two Turntables - i talk about how it is!)
for this kind of clubs i purcase a Vestax VCI-300 MK2 - and with itch 2.0 my mp4 ist supported - i can play the sound and can do my job but i have no video support in this areas

why i can´t use my video out?
i have full purcase the timecode solutuon - i full purcase the VideoSL PlugIn - and also i full purcase the icht solution - where is the problem to give registred members a solution to use the stuff like he will do? also it is ok 4 me - to match VCI-300 with Serato and also give my sl3 box aproval on a primary usb - but it is not possible to combine each technology and make my job - the VCI Mixer don´t work - also the platter will just work with a comlicated workaround - and i must use the bad mixer in the club

just take a round in math:
Turntable ready = timecode sl3+VideoSL = Sound + Video
Turntable damaged = itch = just Sound + noVideo
Please:
Turntable damaged = itch+sl3+VideoSL= Sound + Video

give regristerd l3+VideoSL user a serato version that works with VCI300Mk3 in internModus

I've been using the NS7 for the past year and a half with CUE 7/VDJ from the beginning. I barely know how to use Serato Itch do to fact it will not support videos so I choose not to use it. CUE 7/VDJ works fine for me with minor glitches but most importantly gets the job done. I would love to try using Serato Itch, but I need the support of videos. When Serato figures that out, I'll upgrade to NS6 from Numark. Until then I am perfectly fine using CUE 7/ VDJ.

I SIGN this petition.

if i'm not mistaking itch already does this , you only have activate the video plugin in ssl while you analize your traks and then itch will see your mp4 .

What has SSL got to do with Itch?

They use the same database file. Itch doesn't see mp4s until you put them in a crate in SSL.

To much messing about with these creates, so every time you want to add mp4's so that you can use them in itch you have to open SSL VSL and add them to a create in there?

Yep. I know it sucks but that they only way it works until itch supports mp4s and video. You also have to be careful tho because itch can corrupt some mp4s when it writes to the tag so make sure you have backups. Also I've had itch crash on me a few times when it writes to the tag but this is because itch doesn't officially support mp4s.

Cheers Soup,

Although I own VSL I'm not going to do this as I'm trying to cut down on the admin and also this is beneath me to mess about like this.

Thanks for the info.

No software is totally stable

Video for itch would make the video itch pluggin a super saler, we all, are just waitin for that to happen but in the process virtual dj is gettin ahead of the game in video format (all formats) while video pluggin in serato can only read one format, the logic steps is to let us itch players to be able to vj and also upgrade to more video formats, avi, mpg 1, 2, hd, etc..

Let's be honest, they shouldn't of even created itch! they should of just allowed the use of controllers with Scratch Live.

They could of added the itch views/skins to scratch and everything would of been hunky dory.

They has to boys. Rane has control of scratch live for now

You can get a the 57 for about 12 or 1300 if you look enough

and if you bought a serato box , a midi controller, & a mixer witch it has all of those it would be that much really

Esco, cmon maaaaan! you bakked out of yor own petition>?

........

I'm sleepy now.

the following is directed to serato:
keep in mind on the behalf of all in this forum i am demanding an answer from SERATO.

we keep getting comments, vague indirect hints and open ended responses its time that we get a clear solid answer both deserved overdue.

we are tired of being mislead intentionally or unintentionally by statements in videos, twitter, forums and so on and now want to clarify.

1. is there a software design team, group, programmers, programmer, team or individual or individuals currently assigned by Serato which are actively creating, writing, coding, scripting for the specific intention of providing the full and complete video playback capability to Serato ITCH.

2. if NO: then why not??????????????????????? and do explain why all the vagueness and hinting that SERATO intended or intends to provide video for itch.
if YES: what is the established time line for completion of this project.
does it exceed 5 months, 1 year, 5 years, a decade, a century??????? (pick one)

we await your response.

Hopefully sometime this year!

It has to be this year or early next year........lol

im not interested in the video myself, but i do hope it is actually a separate optional pluggin
itch is a resource hog as it is without something like video added making it unusable for probably 70% of users

70% is really high there are already a lot of them that are using Scratchlive with VSL all they are waiting
is for ITCH to have VSL right now, I might say 80% of working Djs need this capability since most of the establishments are asking for it.

wtf??? what competition?? everyone else is walking circles around them. they seem to be the little brother walking in everyone else's foot steps or shadow. really think about it.its no whine or fuzz but they are truely half a decade behind others. the only thing keeping them alive is the fact that the software is bundled with reputable hardware names such as pioneer denon numark allen & heath which they receive royalties and proceeds from.
it does not take long to see that their way of surviving is to keep the name out by being plugged or branding the logo on the hardware mixed with tactfully designed contracts.

they should answer. they had no problem announcing itch 2.0 almost one year before and its so called added amazing features,
or vaguely stating that an itch controller can support video but left off that it is done by use of some one else's software <an excellent marketing scheme which later pissed the world off> they had no problem making misleading open ended statements on forums, twitter, youtube, namm..... all saying we are working on video, we want it too, we are looking into it, you can do video on..... <---You get the idea. all just talk or another dirty marketing strategy for publicity.

unless they come out and say something in writing on video or what ever but make it public and clear not vague or cryptic then i will respect them. i purchased an item based on what it was supposed to do and payed with the faith it would do what they claimed pardon me for sounding pissed off but i did not know businesses are now in the business of selling boxes illusions combined with empty promises.

it is clearto me serato is not the global industry standard. nor should anyone say they are, when people demand features readily available by others and they do not get them. or when they take so long to deliver a product claiming its because they want it to be perfect and when its finally released it is more so problematic or even when professional people begin to replace the software their equipment came with with another solution they consider has what they need.

let me know if you agree

I think Serato is overwhelmed about the way its going considered as top of the line DVS....I bet they are working on it right now as we speak adding a video plug in for ITCH.

by them not responding it just shows they don't give a a heap of monkey shit about us wanting video.


point proven........................

fuck serato !

VJ Storm's quote:


And this right here is your problem. Never buy anything for what it MIGHT do for you...purchase something for what it CAN do for you. If you needed video then ScratchLive is your solution, and has been for 2 plus years.

Coming here and complaining and disrespecting just makes you look like an idiot...and might get you banned.

Very much interested in Serato porting Video over to Itch. Considering all the other similar functionality betwen SL and Itch, it stands to reason it will happen, most especially in light of the fact that the controllers all use MIDI to map the hard controls to the software anyway. If you recall, MIDI was the key in getting Video to SL....you HAD to have either an outboard MIDI interface or a mixer that had MIDI in order to use Video SL.

Settle down guys there is no point for harsh words lets keep this forum clean.

Serato ITCH Video Playback and Mixing. ASAP

still no response from serato. ->weak-sauce

i'm am sure the next responce from serato will be the 'it's finally here' video post from them

I'm expecting an announcement within 60 minutes ;)

I would appreciate it if people would save the complaints (as they do add a level of unnecessary frustration) For clarification purposes and not in the defense of anyone (Serato and others including the hardware manufacturers) I will say the following:

By the way keep in mind I am not affiliated with Serato in any kind of way (meaning employed by them directly or indirectly nor do I have any other incentive(s) with or received. Another words I am stating this on my own accord and I will attempt to do this in a un biased manner.

If you feel you were mislead in any form or fashion through published adds (written or video) Keep in mind that many of these videos were made by the manufacturers of the devices. They are very well aware that the unit made have the full potential through software expandability and the capability to be upgraded (through firmware). Therefor when they made statements they did not lie but respectfully left out the "how to" due so for the simple fact that they (the hardware manufacturers) hold contract(s) or specific agreements with the software manufacturer.

At this point which ever is to be considered native to that device will be released by the software manufacturer. Serato has been implementing features and enhancements to their product line the majority has been based on feed back they receive from the users and business partners.

Yes video has been requested time after time and yes Serato has stated they want it too. The same happened when people demanded/requested and even those who went about in a immature manner threatened Serato for sound effects.

In short if (notice the if) Serato is working on video or releases a video plug in for ITCH this would be welcomed by many on a global scale. We all know the demand or interest for it is significantly high enough to have a positive marketing impact.
One could consider the following hypotheses if one does the whole DJ Population vs. registered users that an estimated less than 7% of DJs Globaly are registered on the Serato forums and far less are aware of this petition. But when considers the amount of registered users who have added their names to this petition and the amount of emails and calls I get from my online "how to videos" one would have to say yes there is a high demand for it.

I don't have a problem with the general consensus asking "whats going on", "where are they on this", is it really coming" etc.... or even ask for a response from Serato when done properly.

Not to bash or show favoritism but I do not condone the way VJ Storm has gone about and I hope others will not do the same. This is the key reason why I simply wanted people to add their names and locations to the petition (PERIOD)

My apologies to all for such a long posting but I felt this post was more than just necessary at this point.
