In reference to my other posts today, i think you need to get the previous version right first.

lol,

mate, its just an update of the software, to iron out the problems on the first!

Wont hold it against u man, i'm sure you got a brain there! somewhere ;-)

Hi Jacob,

1.0.4 is an update of "the first version". This version has only a few new features with the focus mainly on bug fixes. I encourage you to give it ago :)

I have the same problems with the 'update' of the flawed 'first version' nick.

I have to disagree on a minor scale. If you have a sec, go look at the numark idj2 forums an read the bitching there. It's been more than 9 months since the unit has had so much as a firmware tweak. Meanwhile the idj2 is glitchy, impercise and a whole he'll of a lot more unstable than itch. Personally I have to commend the serato team for involving the community so heavily in it's development process and for treating it's users as responsible adults that can handle a beta release and give good enough feedback to improve the software and it's connectivity.
The software is optional, and as with anything that you adopt early on in it's life cycle, a few eggs will be broken to make this omlette. When building software for so many different set ups and 2 platforms, its surprising it works as well as it does. 99% of users will probably not experience a major gig ruining issue and I hope to be on of those.

I used this update for a live gig last friday for 5 hours and it worked perfectly. using XP.

1.0.4 is working well but I'm having a small issue - I have my settings to play from first cue point however if I load a track that doesn't have a cue point it starts from the middle of the song or maybe it's starting from the same time as the last track was playing - I don't think this is how 1.0.3 worked - it would just start from the beginning of the track - I would prefer this method. So I use shift/rewind to take the track to the beginning - in doing this it also changes the auto loop settings, which isn't something I want it to do either. Are these bugs or am I just doing something wrong?

gmobley,
could you please post any beta related questions in the beta area!
To answer your question you need to have "Play from start" & "Play from first cue point"
selected in the set up screen in order for both of these settings to work.

When djing with 1.04 beta, I have sometimes small glitches/dropouts when I load a new track into the other deck. Version 1.03 works well.

(MacOS 10.5.4, MBP 2.4, 2GB)

Improvement suggestion: the BRAKING sound with KEYLOCK ON schould be like the sound with keylock switched off.
