after update can’t find the Tidal link anymore

if you click on the high left volume Icon it shows two more streaming services (beatport and soundcloud) but tidal not there anymore

@djveleno Not on the unit (currently). You can re-analyze in Engine Prime on Windows or Mac:

To re-analyze a track:

  1. In the track list, click a track you want to re-analyze. To select multiple tracks, press and hold Ctrl (Windows) or cmd (macOS) and click each one. You can also press and hold Shift to select all tracks from the currently selected one to the one you click.
  2. Right-click the track(s) and select Re-analyze Tracks in the menu that appears.

Or alternatively, but most likely very less desirable, you can erase the Engine Prime folder on the drive and start from scratch with the new algorithm. I would currently recommend re-analyzing the drive with Engine Prime

Ditto, takes about 6 hours to reanalyse my library of 73k tracks.

Much faster than Serato. I think Engine Prime is optimized to take full advantage of multi core processors.

So if you have one of them i7 or i9 Intel CPU you will be cooking with rocket fuel :fuelpump:

Thank you! I hope soon …

MCX8000 has also received its update (perhaps it will be the last one before its retirement), to give customers everything that was written in the initial functions (SoundSwitch was still missing): I doubt that now that MCX8000 will receive other updates.

Going back to our beloved Prime4: now it has everything that was written in the initial characteristics, so no one can say that it lacks some function that was instead declared at the beginning. So my concern now is: will it receive new updates for new features we requested but not written in the initial product features? Or will they write down our requests to design the Prime4 MK2? :thinking: :thinking:

34

Remember - they were “requests”, not guarantees or promises.

Also remember, although there are a lot of -requests- that people made, that haven’t made it to the firmwares, a lot of the requests did.

35

I know. But if the rumor spreads that DenonDJ updates its products on the needs of its customers (which is what I had heard before buying the P4), it is certainly a point in its favor against the competition. If they fix the inevitable bugs very quickly compared to the competition, that’s a point in their favor. If their products have a long life compared to the competition because they are constantly updated, it is a point in their favor. So it would be better for them to “give” updates and new functions to their products, they could sell other P4s to other customers.

What are these popular requests that were added in 1.5.1?

Already has. And all manner of requests come in - the issue is that some people think that if they make a request, even if it’s only going to benefit that person, then the feature WILL be included in the NEXT update. Worse still is when there’s then no update during the 7 days after the request, then all the “where’s my update?” posts start being made.

And

Easy, look back in the forum to the launch of prime and look at not only the more recently added “feature request section” but also the regular “I want” posts before that newer section.

One to start you off with…

• Let us disable the crossfader please - DONE

And another …

• Mic gate is cutting off inexperienced mic-users words - please let us change the threshold - DONE

37

This new feature, along with that of recording the microphone, is the only one for Prime4. The other one you mentioned is for the GO. I don’t think there is a lot of meat on the barbecue.

38

Oh so just because you’ve got a prime4 and you’re only looking out for yourself, denon aren’t allowed to add extra features to any of the models that the rest of us own. That’s somewhat shortsighted djaj

Parts of yesterday release which benefit prime 4 users included

  • Added SoundCloud streaming service - Subscribers of SoundCloud Go+ accounts can now stream SoundCloud tracks to their Engine OS players.

  • Added Beatport LINK streaming service - Subscribers of Beatport LINK can now stream Beatport tracks to their Engine OS players. Please note that Beatport’s offline locker storage is not yet supported.

  • Added new “Quick Source Menu” for seamless switching between multiple local and streaming sources.

  • Integrated a new BPM detection algorithm

  • Added Microphone Threshold control Utility option (PRIME 4)

Fixes and Improvements:

  • Fixed an issue where certain AAC tracks were being played without the first 2048 samples. (See Update Notice below)

  • Fixed an issue wherein certain circumstances, audio from the previous track would play at the beginning of a freshly loaded and played track

  • Fixed an issue where inserting a drive with ‘£’ in name would cause the player to reset

  • Fixed an issue where Tidal/streaming tracklists would appear when navigating through empty local playlists or folders

  • Renamed nudge jog wheel sensitive settings

  • Other various stability enhancements & improvements

That’s a pretty meaty barbecue - with relish ! :tomato:

39

have you enabled it as a service in settings? the update might have switched it off

40

Thanks Jay! Current update says that the mixer is in version 1.41 - that might confuse ppl since they just flashed 1.51 and they could think their device wasn`t fully updated. Maybe you guys can change that (less work for the support team).

I think the version numbering of the components should be same as the master firmware name - simply 1.51 for all of them.

41

and therefore nothing has changed because I have already analyzed with engine! so it only serves if you have not analyzed the tracks with engine! and therefore it’s all the same as those who had already reanalyzed the library with the latest version of engine! which I’ve already done! where’s the news ???

42

That when/if you use streaming services, the new algorithm is also available. And if the Pioneer buddies want to have spin on the decks.

Less news if you haven’t got both. :wink:

43

Dont forget the Hanpin ones as well.

And the old schoolers who just play from folders

Ok bye :joy:

This is a seriously kick ass update. Many people (myself included) were having issues with the mic gate threshold - Sorted!! Many (myself included) were asking for an easier way to change between sources - Sorted!! Many (myself included) were unhappy with the bpm detection of unanalysed tracks - Sorted!! Many (myself included) were asking for more streaming options - Sorted!! Many users were experiencing remnants of previously loaded track still playing after a new track was loaded - Sorted!! and lots more “under the hood” tweaks & fixes! This was an essential update for the entire Prime series. If anyone didn’t get the feature that they wanted, no matter how you look at it, your console has just been improved for free. From here on out, I can only see things getting better & better. Thank you Denon for this great update.

Lots of things have changed

In the long list of changes, ol the name of the model, in brackets after the feature, is only used IF the new feature is ONLY for the model mentioned. If the feature is for ALL the prime models, then no model is mentioned in brackets after the feature description -

So:

• User controllable mix gate threshold (Prime 4)

Is a feature for the prime 4 only

But:

• New BPM algorithm on-board

Is for ALL prime models

Is it likely sc6000s will have the updated firmware installed?
