Text pulling data from track info

BADIW

It would also be great to have the text overlay being able to display info from the tracks being played in Serato. ;) Or have the infos displayed via a plugin... Very useful in a lot of situations : mixes to be shared, type based animations related to the track, etc...

Hi BADIW, you can do this via a quartz composition. Just use the published inputs. I think there is already an example of this in the ME download, let me see if I can dig it up.

BADIW

Thank you so much.

So I looked and there is a couple templates in the MixEmergency dmg, just go into the Example Quartz Compositions folder and you will see a few templates: MixEmergency Template.qtz MixEmergency Template2.qtz MixEmergency Template2 Demo AS1 AS2 AL1 AL2 D M P1 P2.qtz These templates need a little editing tho if you want display track info. I created a simple Quartz Composition that shows the Artist - Title tags of the deck that's playing. You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qhpjdi3czc3509n/AADztZbWVjc3X9wGaXGdelV_a?dl=0 I made it so you can change some things like the color of the font and the x,y position by editing the XML file in a text editor. You just need to make sure the XML file is on your desktop.

@davidbarese you the man!!! Thanks for that. I would like to know if you can update it a little for it to look like a lower third, or a nice pop up window that disappears after some time. Cheers man!!!
