High Sierra Compatibility

dj_marv

It's that time of the year again where we ask the question. Is Mixemergency High Sierra compatible? Another question @nick Any chance of creating more downloads for FX presets and FX Sequencer Presets. It will be nice to have properly done ones, the ones I did are kinda ratchet and I'm often just using the stock ones. I will especially like combo ones that are based over song structure eg a one shot build up strobes and the drop. Or can you just create a sticky post where we can share stuff

I'm not aware of any issues regarding MixEmergency and macOS High Sierra. However, it is best to hold off updating until Serato officially begin supporting this version of macOS. FX Sequencer Presets might be worth looking into. There are a few guys who I've seen share their personal ones online in the past (I have no idea who though, or where links to these would be).

I updated today and all ME does is crash, reload, crash, reload, etc until you ignore and just don't use it. I really thought there would be no issue updating after the Serato compatibility announcement. But I do keep getting a midi error message as well on Serato bottom status bar when ME crashes every time

The frames per second reduces in the video output screen of 50-60 in sierra with serato 1.9.6 to 12-20 frames per second with serato 1.9.10 and high sierra.waiting for this problem can be solved as soon as I appreciate your attention.

High Sierra user here. It worked as it should tonight. I updated earlier during the week and never even got a chance to fully test it with two decks playing. It worked with offline player and at my gig tonight it worked with two decks.

Btw I'm using a mid 14 MBP.

Nick

Cool - good to hear :)

@Nick what's good. I'm having some performance issues. Serato DJ 1.9.10 MacOS 10.13.1 Mid 14 MacBook Pro 15 with Retina 2gb ME is causing Serato DJ to have performance issues. The wave forms are jerky. There is a delay in controller to software response. If unplug the HDMI screen...the jerkiness goes away. I thought it was a bad HDMI cable so I used a brand new one. No difference. I'm using the MBP HDMI port btw. If I close ME SDJ works fine. I will try with my thunderbolt dock which has its own HDMI slot as a last resort. I have done all the usual trouble shooting stuff...restart..Wi-Fi off etc.

I haven't used ME in two weeks or so. I did a security update yesterday on the Mac. Everything else is as it was. It's quite unuseable today. The videos are showing well on the screen btw. No stuttering or whatever but SDJ isn't working right.

Nick

That's odd. I'm not sure where to begin with this - seeing as it was working well before (and I assume that nothing else has changed with regards to the display). Do you get the same issues if you use an adaptor from the Thunderbolt port?

dj_marv

I went to my gig on sat and used the adaptor. I did not stress test. I left the preview window at lowest quality setting and I got through the gig fine. Before now I could use ME with the preview window at their highest setting

Nick

How do you have MixEmergency set up? Is it "pinned" to float on top of Serato DJ? Are you auto-hiding the dock/menu bar? Is Serato DJ full-screen or windowed?

dj_marv

SDJ always full screen ME is pinned on top - I have sampler, media bank and the combo preview window stacked to my right lower corner. I have the Presets window half coveringmy crates and library.

Nick

Does it help if you put SDJ in windowed mode or/and don't have MixEmergency pinned?

dj_marv

I will try that

I'm having the same problem. High Sierra was just fine with SDJ & ME (3.1.1) until the most recent 2 updates. Now the waveforms are super jerky. Not pleasant to look at. I did try multiple things: I played around with multiple SDJ audio buffer settings, SDJ waveform frame rates, ME RAM settings, ME preview frame rates, ME output quality settings and more. The only thing that gets SDJ waveforms running smoothly again is closing ALL 3 of ME's preview windows, while ME still runs in the background. No, I do not have any ME windows on top of any SDJ moving GUI parts. I do have ME pinned on top though

Nick

Do you still have the issue if you use the Single Preview window mode in MixEmergency?

djpoproxxx

I will try that next and let you know

djpoproxxx

Yes. Same result regardless of single or multiple preview window mode. Choppy/jerky waveforms

Nick

I'll have to see if I can reproduce this. There is a new version coming soon, and so it'll be interesting to see if you have the same issues with this.
