I’m preparing my music with Engine Prime and when Time Stretch (master tempo) is enabled the music sounds so good with large pitch variations, but when i do the same pitch variations on the controller in standalone Mode it sounds so worse.
There is a solution for that? your developer team are working in? Or i need to buy the new Prime 4 or other standalone controller for that case?
thanks in advance
kind regards
PS: I’m sorry if there are some topics about that but i have searched and i didn’t find nothing.
There’s reasons why 2 decks and a’mixer in the case of the 8000 costs just about £1000 where a prime system of two Sc5000s and an x1800 costs £4000.
One of those reasons is the incredible processing power in the prime decks, a quad core processor in each deck, which allows them to make incredibly clean time stretch calculations using a really good algorithm. The 8000 stretches one single core processor across its entire taskset.
Engine prime software runs that same algorithm so sounds good too.
MCX8000 is a earlier product that was done before DenonDJ bought rights to use the advanced Elastique 3 algorithm in Engine Prime software and hardware.
MCX8000 got a firmware update to be able to use some Engine Prime prepped USB sticks but does not have the processing power/firmware memory to have that added.
