Linking Tracks

Hi,

what do you think of the idea of linking tracks? Imagine you click on a track and suddenly at the bottom there appears a list of tracks (just like the prepare list at the top) with tracks which are linked to this one. Idea is that you sometimes have track which fit almost perfectly with certain other tracks, and why not linking them together, instead of either trying to remember (and forgot...) those or writing it down into the comment field.

What do y'all think?

that would be cool. i'd love to be able to link tracks... you could load this sequence on a deck and then able to needle drop between each track.

Okay, thats another enhanced suggestion.

My idea was to use the linking function in the mix. You play a track, and then you click on "links" and it will list all tracks you have linked to this one and you can play it on the other deck as the next song.

EXCELLENT IDEA !!! .... I have become tired of creating tons of crates for different occasions or sorting all the time according to the different tag entries I keep using to relate songs.

This would be very easy to implement too ..Serato/Rane throw in this one in the next release .... eh eh. I wish there was a API to SSL available to users.

I like the idea. Nice if you wanna match an acapella or an instrumental with the original track.

Nice idea. Before I knew anything about BPMs I used to pick songs by how well I thought different songs would go together. I used to tape a list the "linked" songs on the record sleeve. This would be much better than typing a list of songs in the comments section.

That's why you get the big bucks mate !!

Big bucks? SSL is a real good deal if you consider what you get for that price :-) They aint making big stacks with one unit, I guess ;-)

LOVE IT! great idea!!!

the real money is in all the software updates ;)

More advertizing, just ask Microsoft will get you even more cash ... and ya'll have an advantage - better product and hundreds of early adopters considering the infancy of the solution.

I achieve simillar effects by editing comments in a song...adding something along the lines of "sounds like artist - track" that way when I use the find feature to look up the track I wanted, I also get a list of songs that are simillar and ideal for mixing. You can add something like "Link to track" in the comments and the search option will show all tracks that contain that in the comments.

Amazing Idea Nik

At the rate in which we aquire new music now (Being digital) it's hard to keep it all in perspective at a Gig.
Love SSL, but still miss having visual cues of records...
This would help significantly to build power sets!

P.S. Thanks for the Ctrl-Z tip!

I'm laughing here. :-) Great time to bring it up again.

Sam 2:51 AM - 14 February, 2006

nik39 10:01 AM - 14 February, 2006

Okay I admit, Jaz, I was trying to rip your credits ;)

But my thread received more love from the SSL mods than yours ... Its all about marketing ya know :))

nik39 10:01 AM - 14 February, 2006
