I wish all digital audio programs would follow Renoise's update & license model.

i dont get whats the use of soft sync.

i thought soft sync would of meant that if the beats are off tempo that with pressing the sync button that would slide the beats into place softly so the ear didnt notice to much, but it doesnt do that, it just jumps the beat back on time and in the process its very noticeable as its sounds like an old cd skip etc.
yeah i know when the beats are off you can just manualy nudge the jog wheel and slide the beats back on track, but i would of thought, thats what the soft sync feature was meant to do ? am i missing something or miss understanding something here ?

i like the beat sync as i can do spin backs or micro loops without loosing the beat

EDIT:my spelling sucks

[TwistedPanda]

thanks for that.

TempoSync is what the S4 had before the update, i like the BeatSync my self

What exactly is the difference between the two? I checked the manual and it didn't really explain it.

Just wondering about soft sync.. Anyway to set it up to have it soft sync as you load a track? Would make quick mixing with vinyl so much easier and be serrriously fun?

Suppose I could just map a command to sync and load at the same time?

Anyyyway TP2 is exactly what it said on the tin. And the tin is very very pretty!

Does SSL have anything Traktor doesn't now? (Besides the video add on)

when engaged,does the quantize and snap feature not do that already once you have sync pressed ?

soft sync just matches up your BPM's but does not align your grids. I would be a great advantage for DVS users so they won't have to ride the pitch and match BPM's.

Great thread cleared up a couple of minor things that i didn't want to clog the forum up with

I just found a nice use for the auto bouncer. You can make a sick breakdown with the following settings:
Attachment 4998

Turn the effect on and off again about 4 beats before the drop.

It'll sound like this:

I think it works best for Electro/Dubstep, since it's kinda filthy.

Edit: Of course, messing with the parameters can give you a more interesting effect.

Wow, big fan of that one. Must play around more.

I also like it with pattern on 3 and 'alt' turned on. Whatever that does.

Call me a spoilsport but I really don't see why you'd want to use a DVS if you're not tempo matching manually and you're not scratching. ):

As for making it soft sync when loading a track surely you just leave sync on. You know. The same way you always have for traktor...?
