Tell the truth did you use 2.0 at a gig??

dj lashes 3:05 PM - 21 July, 2011
So people tell the truth are you one of them djs like me lol who read all the "this is a beta", "for testing only" so on and so on but you still just have to go live (and before you say it!! i know it can have a bad ending playing live with beta).

last night i play about 2hrs prime time speed mixing 50% of the time i can only say to serato well done beta or no beta 2.0 is hottttt in every way no glitch's feels great and the sampler give thx now i dont need VDJ anymore, I did at 1st miss the look of 1.7 but after about 1hr i got used to the new look the sync will take a week or so to get use to but i think its a go move for djs in the long run most djs i think will like it and use it.
cant wait for the finish product, ohh and djs just because i had no probs with beta does not mean its wise for you to go live with yours i had a back up plan if it crashed (cd's) lol

Serato LOVE U

I have used 2.0 live this whole week, (5-6 hour sets without a problem). Only thing I don't like is the way sync is used now with press one to set master, then the other to sync, then shift+sync to release. Bothersom, but everything else is beautiful..
sunnyred 4:25 PM - 21 July, 2011
HI, I haven't had time to test the beta, but I was wondering when you exit the software after your successful gig if it takes a couple of minutes for the software to close and exit like with ver. 1.7?
JonnyLove 4:45 PM - 21 July, 2011
I think I shall be braving it on Saturday as so far it has not let me down and I have been going mental trying to get it to crash or cause a problem.

It shouldn't take minutes, if it takes more than 20 secs it's locked up from my experience. To answer your question no it doesn't.

Last night I used it live for 5 hours. Overall flawless. I still need to get used to the trimmed library space, but at least you can switch to library mode easily
dj lashes 7:40 PM - 21 July, 2011
just been playing more with the sampler when you are using let say "bank A sample 1" and you set your settings tempo volume ect then you move to "bank B,C or D sample 1" the setting the same for all, it would be nice if each bank could have different settings or should i just be happy there is a sampler now ?
Ragman 9:33 PM - 21 July, 2011
The latter ... ;-)
Dj Cooly C 9:43 PM - 21 July, 2011
I used it Tues, I had some problems while scrolling my crates and choosing songs from the library. It caused the the screen to completely freeze and the pinwheel to spin, I had three drop-outs, but I made it through the night. I won't use it live until the updates are available. But it is a great software, love everything about. Itch has arrived.

I got around the trimmed library space by using smart crates to categorize things into Genres instead of using the browse panel. The browse panel takes up a good chunk of the screen. Now with smart crates I can browse all my "house" tracks instead of just "tribal house" or "latin house" or "electronica".

I think your problem is that itch 2.0 is looking at your crate/tracks/grid ect.. for the 1st time did you RE-ANALYZE your files just my guess as i did analyze and itch is super fast and am on a PC

On my Macpro, desktop computer at home, itch is flawless, on my Macbook, itch has issues. Its time for the new macbook pro to compliment the new Serato itch. But, I just read one solution may be to clear the bpm tag of your files & reanalyze them in 20096. My question is if you reanalyze them in 2.0, if needed will 1.7 be able to read those files.
JonnyLove 1:48 PM - 22 July, 2011
I have re-analysed all my files in 2.0 and then run 1.8 again afterwards and it did not seem to have a problem. But this is for me. I can't say you won't have a problem. (What's the worst that could happen)
djcerla 2:07 PM - 22 July, 2011
I'm basically always using betas. I only had a single problem last year when I discovered the AAC bug live in front of 3000 persons. But hey, my finger was on the (CDJ) button.

Cartel Productions 7:31 PM - 22 July, 2011

Kevin "Soulkhitect" Gibson 8:19 PM - 22 July, 2011
i would mos def use it it seems very stable the only thing that seems to be a lil xtra work is the sync i got it i can use it fine after about 12 hours of practice but..... like most DJ's i like to sip when i spin and i like the ease of the sync on 1.7.1 ...lol call me a lil lazy but it spoiled me. MIXWELL>> DJ'S
BadBoyChubs 5:02 PM - 23 July, 2011
i used 2.0 for the first time during a gig and it didnt fail me
defjamblaster 9:26 PM - 23 July, 2011
i always go all in and use the betas the very next time i spin. just like when i started on ssl from vinyl (never used cds except on radio till i switched it to ssl), i never used the 'thru' mode to have real vinyl ready just in case. i figured something can always go wrong no matter what youre using-needles go bad suddenly, vinyl skips, cds stutter, etc. you just have to be calm and have a good mic presence while you change needles/cds/restart software. i've dealt with all the above and never been flustered. i just pretend like i had something so important to say, that the music had to be off for me to say it! the key to that kind of a recovery lies in the first song played when you get the system back up-it has to be a solid hit. that makes it seem like you did it all on purpose.
JonnyLove 10:19 PM - 23 July, 2011
Just finished a 5 hour gig and no problems. Did find a bug if loading a track off of a cd I could not play it using the play button but I could with holding down the cue button. (Actually helped me out as didn't want to play the track anyway but was just being polite).
zaguama 1:16 AM - 24 July, 2011
hmm interesting, im gonna try playing audio cd tracks because i do get that often when artists arrive with their instrumentals on cda.

Played at a Family Reunion for 5 hours with 2.0 beta one small software and sound delay hicup, it recovered in a split second but flawless after that
Dj Cooly C 7:47 PM - 24 July, 2011
I made some small adjustments to my settings on 2.0, used it again last night and it performed so much better. I had one song pause for a brief second, but I get that a least 3 times a night on 1.7. Itch team deserve a tip for this one,

u have to use "Z , X, C, V B N" on the keyboard, if shift is checked then u have to hold shift to trigger then, the hardware controller must be connected to see it
dj genius 33 9:41 PM - 24 July, 2011
itch is only allowing me to use 1 sample.......if i drag in another the beta closes

thank you! vci300 no fx, no edits... some parts could use some work, but its basically a live mix. stuff happens... ;) like some volume differences with songs that i drop in, it was kinda tough to tell with some mixes because it was late in the night and i didnt want to bother anyone that lives in the apartment under me or next to me..
Fuidawg 5:40 AM - 3 August, 2011
I notice that itch doesnt like too many crates or subcrates as it will not open if you ahve too many in there, I guess the smart crates can make up for it?

im on a pc winxp and I must say it works much better than previous releases, i got a bad spooler blue screen error, when testing it at home for 4 hours but i decided to have the internet running as well ... so far it's good,

I have a gig on sat and will chance it lol ... wish me luck ..

dj-nice 1:44 PM - 3 August, 2011
I think i will not use V2 untill there is a 2 Player option. I need only 2 Player an there is with 2 empty players not enough screen for my very big Databasestructure. Got yesterday a Denon HC5000. Looks better cause only 2 Player are on Itch. Favourite is my Xone DX, but never live in regular 4Player Mode.

Has anybody used the final ITCH 2.0 that was just released yet? If so, any positives/negatives? Please let me know, thanks.
Cartel Productions 6:23 PM - 3 August, 2011
2.0 worked great for me from the word go i've been using it for gigs from the first beta version with no problems sill trying to get my head around that new sync thou.
Kmxorbit 6:40 PM - 3 August, 2011
Didn't test it yet in Live environment. I didn't clear my preferences yet and I didn't re-analyzed my library. Seems it takes care of certain possible drop outs according serato's advice)
respectskills 6:49 PM - 3 August, 2011
Is it necessary to "delete preferences"? If YES then HOW do I do it? Thanks ;)

He's saying he'd like to have more options in GUI modes in 2.0 since he only uses 2 players and the other 2 just take up valuable screen realestate.

mmmhhhh....starting V2 dont show beatgrids from many files. Starting V1.7 shows all grids.
Serveral errors: Out of menory
Wont work with such a buggy Version
Kmxorbit 2:59 PM - 4 August, 2011
2.0 is absolutely not buggy and it would be a pity to miss all the exciting stuff it(ch) offers.
Open a help thread (serato.com)
I'm sure the tech team will figure out your problems.
dj-nice 3:09 PM - 4 August, 2011
i did a request
mean for me very bugy. I like this 2.0 very much too. But till now i am afraid to use it live.
Have hundrets of crates/subcrates and V2.0 seems not to have the delay while open big crates or subcrates. Seems very smooth. This alone is for me a big "+" :-)

But not live.....not yet
Fuidawg 8:09 PM - 4 August, 2011
Sorry, out of subject here or don't know where to post my question under, but quick question

Anyone know how to scan your musik so that it will show the name under the 'filename' column of the song under the 'song' column?

hope that made sense ..
DJ.Tyme 8:41 PM - 4 August, 2011
You mean have it only show like the filename of how its in your folders on your hard drive ? And not show song title ?
Fuidawg 8:52 PM - 4 August, 2011
Quote:

I want the column song show the name of the actual song instead of Track1 , Track 2 etc ...

Under the column 'Filename' it shows the name of song instead of Track 1, Track 2 etc ...

I just ran the Rescan ID TAgs options for all the files but still no changes ... hope that made sense
DJ.Tyme 9:02 PM - 4 August, 2011
1st your have to run your songs through a id3 software program that tags your music doing the rescan id tags just makes itch re read the id3 info but 1st the info has to be correct. I'm @ work but pm me & I kan email u some programs that I use after I download my music I run them through this program & then move them to my crates

Did you tag the files? Are this selvf ripped mp3? Maybe you can use cddb to tag the files
Did you tag V2 fields?

easy to youse ripper are cdex cdexos.sourceforge.net and exact audio copy (EAC) www.exactaudiocopy.de
best id3 tager (free) = mp3tag www.mp3tag.de

Itch 2.0 is stable ONLY as long as u dont search and try drag the file anywhere, u can search and load without no prob but once u djing live, I strong advice NEVER to do it. some times u might be lucky to drag the song to a crate or prepare but Itch will Hang and cause drop outs, or more like a cd scratching. no drop out other wise. maybe i need a higher spec. but my mac 2.4 4gb ram should have been enuff, but i quess not!

I reported this as a bug awhile back but i guess nothing can be done. I think it maybe due to the bigger and larger music collections and crates and sub crates, Itch works smooth like butter with one or 2 crates. once u start hitting that 20k mark, is trouble when it comes to dragging after search with the hardware connected
Fuidawg 5:37 AM - 5 August, 2011
So u saying NOT to do a CTR f? I usually click on the ALl and search from there. I got winxp 3G and tomorrow I got a gig,wish me luck lol

Do you by any chance have the location field visible in your library? I had similar issues until I stopped using the location field all together. I filed a bug report and I'm hoping this will be fixed in 2.1

Man, i had to use Virtual DJ at my wedding gig last night, an hour before the wedding, it was just a bit slow when I was looking for songs.. Im not sure if it was my laptop XP, 3G ram, 2.1 GHZ, intel processor? (highly doubt) but it didn't give me confidence ... I think the search feature was a little bit flaky ...

Do any of you dj's use like a monitor to listen to your musik? not too keen on using earphones ... i can do it live but it's just a lil bit delay when you listen to the musik ...

You definitely got a much more powerful machine than mine, so valid point ... got a few more gigs lined up so hoping to invest in a mac pro ... Serato still got my vote!
DJ dVO 3:28 PM - 7 August, 2011
Yeah I am not sure what is the complaining about with dropouts with Itch 2.0. I am running 2.0 and NS7 on an older MBP 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GM 106 MHz DDR3 with no drop out what so ever. It even works on Lion 10.7!!!
Dj K.Smith 6:06 PM - 7 August, 2011
Used 2.0 last night on my VCI for the ceremony portion of my day. Very smooth and the day mode display was nice... I definitely like that. Everything went well as expected. No real reason to think that it wouldn't...

You definitely got a much more powerful machine than mine, so valid point ... got a few more gigs lined up so hoping to invest in a mac pro ... Serato still got my vote!
yeah i thought about a mac,but then i would have to sell the kitchen sink and maybe my kar :-0
DJ.Tyme 7:36 PM - 7 August, 2011

Dj Cooly C 11:14 PM - 7 August, 2011
The only BIG issue I'm getting is when I add to or alter any crates. 2.0 is smooth until I fool with the crates, after that, all hell breaks loose, it crashed and one night and wouldn't restart for at least thirty mins because it would freeze while loading the crates. I did a complete data base rebuild a couple of days ago, and that helped a little, but I went to add some new music in a crate from the HD and it froze, pinwheeled for a while. I'm playing it safe and using 1.7.1 until there's a update. But all in all 2.0 is very nice, love the gui.
DJ.Tyme 11:50 PM - 7 August, 2011
so your saying like while your DJing and you go to files and add a song to one of your crates it will freeze ?
ernie 12:28 AM - 8 August, 2011
yes!
DJ.Tyme 1:11 AM - 8 August, 2011
hum ? it didn't happen to me ? i tried make different folders adding music to them.then i just added music files to my current folders.no freezing at all. humm guess wait until serato responds

that happens to me also, by i did my rebuild today will test it tomorrow and clear all corrupt files , i aint try it since but i know this does happens
Fermi 3:49 AM - 8 August, 2011
I didn't use 2.0 at my gig last night.
I installed 20098 that morning and didn't test it out. I get to the gig and plug in the V7s. The screen still says the hardware is disconnect, but when I press play the track plays and the audio comes out the laptop speakers.
I quickly installed 20096 beta because I knew that worked.
I don't know if I want to install 20098 again because of the error.
DJdaveZ 5:49 AM - 8 August, 2011
2.0 still working out nicely for me.... did a wedding today with it. i had also tried it out at 2 bar gigs so far, so i was confident.

Yes, It freezes or crash.

Freezes all the time. What is the deal with corrupt files. Using tracks ripped from cds. Why is Serato so freakin unstable and fickle with them. Trying to analyze files si i can remove them but still freezes. Need a work around ASAP.
ragga 4:28 PM - 8 August, 2011
Pro DJ and I never felt so nervous. Why are so many tracks corrupt? I'm talking thousands.

Yessir it was... Never had a worry, hiccup or mis-step in using it at the gig... Looked like I was using SSL, LOL... Now I haven't used it on my NS6 yet, but I think I will in a couple of weeks at my next gig I will...

This week is I might practice on my NS6 just to see what its like...
DJ MDX 6:59 PM - 8 August, 2011
I used the NS6 exclusivley at my gigs this weekend (took Xone:DX for backup) and everything worked flawlessly. The sound was awesome and had a very strong output.

I did have one issue but it was not the NS6's fault - I had a powerstrip that was touching the USB cable somewhat which did not allow it a full connection - this caused audio dropouts as I was loading tracks (luckily this was during sound check) I corrected the issue by removing any obstruction near the USB connection and let the NS6 breathe properly and it just sang the rest of the night ;-)

The NS6 is a huge USB hog so make sure your USB connectin is completely in-tact to prevent audio drops, lags, etc.

yeah that happen to me 2. While I was DJing one of my frenz was like hey u went back to scratch live ? I was like no its the new look of itch :-)
Dj K.Smith 8:10 PM - 8 August, 2011
Yeah man that day mode is the business... Made it really easy to see and is a definite nice change... Had to get used to the new color scheme but that was instantly... Really diggin' on itch right about now...
DJ.Tyme 8:50 PM - 8 August, 2011
Yeah I was doing a outside event & kept switching back & forth but stayed with the grey look I just got used to it iguess
Fuidawg 9:01 PM - 8 August, 2011
Got an outside gig this friday, I've determined that that my issue is hardware related, but using Itch again lol ... so i'll take your word for the new daytime view ...
Dj K.Smith 9:06 PM - 8 August, 2011
Day mode is a nice change Fuidawg... You'll definitely notice it a lot more than night mode...
DJ Padida 6:53 PM - 11 August, 2011
Used it on my sisters 18th bday bash we tagteamed all night using the ns7 on pc, very stable no dropouts whatsoever. This is by far the best update imo especially with the sp6. My cousin thought I was using scratch live.
Dj K.Smith 6:59 PM - 11 August, 2011
Just got that new fader plate for the NS6 also... Gotta try that out tonight as well...
BadBoyChubs 7:02 PM - 11 August, 2011
flawless last night, after I think I will rate 2.0 better and rock solid than 1.5!
Fuidawg 7:04 PM - 11 August, 2011
Wish there are more effects for the Numark V7's with Itch like flippin doubles, flanger out or backspin ... I take it these are hardware specific?

Really diggin' the new Serato Itch look too ... it really does look like scratch live!
Fuidawg 7:21 PM - 11 August, 2011
My jam session at 2am this morning lol ... still need a lot of work ;-)

I SHOULD be right, it's a habbit really, i think the purpose of having that is so that we can avoid using the laptops as much as we can,

i need to use that knob more ;-)
Fuidawg 12:20 AM - 12 August, 2011

have you deleted preference files for serato?
have you removed m4a and mp4 files?
those together worked for me... i was getting freezes while browsing through crates and just normal use...

I also had many corrupt... turns out that if you run files that are in your library through platinum notes you have to reanalyze first...

also reanalyzing files in 2.0 is important.

Hey i have the exact same problem for my vestax vci 300 mkII, it wont say the hardware is connected for some reason, did you find anyway on how to solve this problem?
Fuidawg 5:59 AM - 13 August, 2011
OK, man can I say I love this Serato Itch 2.0 4 hrs straight no clitch, the day view is really good too!

The only bad thing was my Numark X9 mixer flaked out on me and clipped and shut itself out,TWICE! That was not good,

Just had to reset turn everything off and on again, and I was on again, but TWICE? NOT GOOD....

So I want to find a stronger mixer, any recommendations? I saw the red light a couple of times and without noticed shut me down

But Serato 2.0 is LEGIT!
biofunk 6:09 AM - 13 August, 2011
I played with 2.o at a birthday party last weekend. It took a second to get use to but it worked. I'll probably toy with it this weekend but I have found a few things about it that are not quite right about it. Good start though!

Yeah I am not sure what is the complaining about with dropouts with Itch 2.0. I am running 2.0 and NS7 on an older MBP 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GM 106 MHz DDR3 with no drop outs what so ever. It even works on Lion 10.7!!!


yup me too and a 2.66 is not that old LOL (last years model)

i no alot of people including myself use VDJ & itch just in case one or the other is not working right
Fuidawg 6:33 AM - 22 August, 2011
wow, so after using serato itch 2.0 for a month, and then a saw this post and decided to load#virtualdj 7.0 and man I really miss the effects, something I think Itch 2.0 lacks flangerout, flippindouble, backspin, flanged loop-out, beatgrid, beatbox ... if Serato ill have these effects, i will get rid of vdj for good!
dj genius 33 4:19 PM - 22 August, 2011
so u are saying install vdj on pioneer ddj s1...has anyone does this?

Hey dj genius 33 hit me with a pm (personal message) with your email address and I'll send you the mapper. I've hooked up some other DJ's with the pio mapper & the NS7 mapper.
DJ Tupsy 8:45 PM - 22 August, 2011
Used the 2.0 at a 9 hours wedding gig this weekend.
No faults at all.
Using my Denon 5000 and a Win 7, 64 bit, I5 computer. (Not a Mac)

DJ Fokus Tokyo 5:04 AM - 1 September, 2011
Used it last Friday for 4 hours solid. No issues!

Was nice getting used to the new layout as I had been on the old version since it came out. Layout swapping as well as the slight changes to sync (it actutally doesn't seem to display the synced BPM until you start the track you are mixing in). The track selection is greatly improved being able to see album art now as well as edit it within the app. Didn't have a chance to play with the sampler as I am on the VCI300 and I do like the one-one UX.

One thing that would be great, as I use my itunes library, is bringing the ratings over and displaying them withing ITCH...I know been mentioned before, but just my feedback.

Other then that highly recommended!

Will have to try some of the other features next time, especially the social one.
DJ Fokus Tokyo 3:46 AM - 20 September, 2011
Have used it at 2 gigs since my last post, and it is working flawless!

Now that I have been getting used to the interface I really am appreciating the day and night view switch, as well as the album art in different views.

The auto sync lag which I mentioned above, can be a slight confusing at times as you can't really tell if two tracks are synced until you press play on the opposite deck. I also wish it would display the ratings from itunes, but neither is a show stopper.

Looking forward to downloading the new fixes and anticipating the next feature releases.
BadBoyChubs 11:56 AM - 20 September, 2011
