Yes, I agree. The new beatmatch display is overloaded with all the colors. It was easier to use it as it was in previous versions.

i agree, though when you get accostumed to it, it is not a problem.

but previous versions was easier to use, no doubt.

Thats where your ears come in...

:-)

Just don't change the colors of "Ahhh" and "Fresh" :D

yeah the colors are nice, yes i use my ear now more than visuals, but it was nice to see the white lines. NO punn intended to all you CLUB HEADs. LOL.

I thought that they only had made the colors a little bit more brighter

AMEN .... I had no idea that those colors on SSL meant anything !!

Red=bass, blue=hihats, green=snares IIRC.

Sam could easily mix w/o headphones just by watching the screen, I couldnt do it.

Started using SSL I was used to reading grooves of the control record, now that I spin mostly SSL, switched back to records last night and I catch myself trying to read the screen...

Yeah u get used to it too fast.. and there's still no option to switch it off.........................................

I spin on 3 decks and a CDJ and I always find myself looking at the screen when I'm using real vinyl or CDs

oooh yeah an option to turn colors on and off would be nice, an option for original colors and new colors would be very nice.

i think that would be difficult because the overviews are actually built and then stored in the file itself. having both old and new would require to overviews to be built and saved (not something you probably want to do while performing live).

aaah very true

Hm, DJ3pm, I doubt the overviews are stored with the "colors". And even if, why not making snares white as they were before. You wouldnt need to rebuild the overviews.

don't get me wrong, i miss the old colors too. i guess storing 2 sets of waveforms wouldn't be much different than storing album art to the tag. hopefully the mods will find a happy medium between the old and new waveforms *wink wink*

Hm, I think we are misunderstanding each other. What I thought the guys before are talking about is the color on the beatmatching display in the middle. I dont know if this has something to do with the wav overviews, or how they are stored.

damn, now i am confused. is the beatmatching display the thing at the top that is horizontal or the vertical thing in the center?

i should just shut-up and get back to class...

Vertical thing in the center. But that doenst make any difference when it comes to the question whether the overviews need to rebuild or not.

ok, my class is doing well enough on its own...

i thought the vertical thing in the center was just miniturized version of the wav overview. if this is the case, we may both be right.

mods, is it 9am in new zealand yet?

the beatmatching display is meant to display only the transients

Is there any news about an option to turn it completely off? At the moment i'm always having a window of another app in front of the beat matching display which is "always on top".. it's really a pain in the.. ;)

what i was talking about was the beat matching colors the color lines next to the scrolling wave forms.
