is it possible to create an “auto-loop” in engine?
In RB from P this is possible and I often set it at the end of a song just as a sort of life saver, i.e. when the track arrives at this point automatically the loop starts. So when you are still looking for the next track or making a pit stop the song never ends…
Maybe I was not clear in what I looking for, of course I understand there are 8 cue’s and 8 loops available, great compared to the nxs but:
Specifically looking for an “auto -loop” the normal loops are only activated by pushing a button, on the nxs the auto loop automatically starts when the song is arriving at the point the start of the “auto-loop” is set.
Sure, as before, set up any number of loops and save them and when you load the track simply, easily and at any point during playback, just press any one of the loop buttons to activate the loop.
not a memory load, not sure how that was on the denon, the last I used was the 2500 dual CD player, lol
this will activate a loop on its own as it passes but the spot you set in engine. Serato and others have this, definitely useful for end of track if you get caught taking a long bathroom break, it will just loop at the end for ya, lol
Could be a checkbox ‘Active on load’ under the colors, where you edit Text and Color.
By default unchecked, so the track plays normal, unless you press the saved loop button. But when checkbox is checked the loop is already active when the track passes the saved loop in playback.
I think a lot of us are waiting for a update of version 1.0 of Engine, I think I do speak for a lot of owners that we rather see regular smaller upgrades then 1 large upgrade every 6 months.
Picked up my decks this week. As an old Traktor user I used to have some of my songs have an outro loop ready which I could activate and then let it loop automatically once the track reached this position.
Quick way of getting a similar workflow i’ve been testing is as follow. Navigate to the section of the track you wish to loop prior to playing. Set a loop with auto loop. Now while its playing within this loop use a hot-cue to jump to the start of the track. If you don’t touch any loop controls for the rest of the track it will automatically re-loop once you reach this loop.
I’ve only had the decks for a few hours of playing before my USB sticks decided to corrupt themselevs. However i’m sure there is a few other ways of achieveing the same results- will update once i’ve had more time to play.
That would be the best and fastest solution I think.
This feature is one of the most important ingredients for me personally.
Many DJs that I know with the Pio … on, as the player implements this to 100%.
With the activ loop you can focus much more on mixing and performing without worrying about missing the loop.
The worst thing that can happen to a DJ is to miss the loop that the track runs out and the music stops in the club …
It gives security to the DJ and is, so to speak, an emergency loop …
Denon please insert this function.
I think that is a very important part that should be implemented in any case …
I think for the developers, it should not be difficult to incorporate the function, as it was before.
I hope that the developers take this into account in the next update.
