AWESOME job on M.E. 2.0 (!!)

Mark

I've just spent the last hour or so playing around on this....pretty amazing update here. The new "grid" feature is working really well, probably going to tempt a lot more use (overuse?) of effects but it can also do a great job with rhythmically punching up some "boring" videos in a tasteful way. Really just wanted to say thanks here...you've outdone yourself (and everyone else) yet again.

Nick

Thanks Mark :)

Playing with the live camera input... Drahtwerk's "iWebcamera" works for sending in a camera feed from an iPhone over wifi. That sure opens up a lot of cool possibilities. Unfortunately I'm getting some ME crashes when enabling/un-enabling the feed....hopefully something that can get sorted out in a 2.0.1 release...seems like I can work around that for now by leaving the video input enabled, just using the mix knob to shut it off or turn it on. Also have had one non-repeatable crash dragging one of the included quartz compositions onto the quartz composition area. Guess I should be posting that over in "support"... Anyway seriously cool stuff here, thank you again. :-)

Nick

Oh, ok - can you e-mail me the crash logs and I'll look into it (to: contact [at] inklen [dot] com)?

Is there away to record the PIP? I like the added feature, but is it recordable?

djdj

Oh by the way the whole problem I had with the macbook pro and Mix Emergency was a bad fan...$61.00 later it works perfect! Thanks for your help anyway nick! - DJ DJ

Mark

Yep just sent those out now, hope they help.

Nick

Thanks - hopefully I'll have some time to check them out thoroughly later today. @djdj - no, there's no way to record the video overlay at this stage (it would add a significant strain on your laptop while recording). If you really want to record it, then it is possible to record the session outside of MixEmergency, using MixEmergency's Syphon output, and the Syphon Recorder application.

Mark

"Thanks - hopefully I'll have some time to check them out thoroughly later today." But, but.... I need to use it tonight :-) Just kidding around with you of course. I don't usually use new software playing out until I've tested it out quite a bit, but I'm starting a new party tonight and am seriously seriously tempted with this....

F*cking wow I can't wait to get home and try this..... New features looks incredible!! Thanks Nick!

from your interview on DJ Tech Tools "I’ve also been excited to see how the Automatic Border Fill feature would be received by users. I think it’s one of those features that doesn’t sound too exciting, but will really be a time-saver for working Video DJs." I, for one, highly highly appreciate this feature

Nick

Thanks - that's good to hear.

Damn, ish just got alot more fun... +1 and thanks Nick...

Mark

I wound up using 2.0 (for six hours) DJ-ing Tuesday night. No crashes or any other issue while playing, but had to force-quit out of an ME-induced beachball when I was trying to shut down. Made a lot of use of the live camera feed. The combination of the iPhone app I mentioned before and the camera feed was a huge hit. My previously-mentioned workaround for turning on/shutting off the feed seemed to work out fine. The new beat-gridding and layering option for effects make a huge difference.

Nick

Cool. Can you let me know if you get the hang at shut-down again? Or if you find out anything further about it.

djpoproxxx

Yes. This release is ama-za-zing to say the least. GREAT WORK Nick!!

Nick

Thanks.
