Sup all! just wanted to get some thoughts on the current version of TSP. We just upgraded in the last few days and the first things i’ve noticed are that the filter works differently and the deck cache is only 128MB?! Why… I had no issues with it before. What else is different? I need to thrash test it before saturday lol.
The Deck Cache was reduced because it was noticed that when playing on 4 decks and setting the Deck Cache Size to Max (256 on all 4 decks) a Macbook Pro with 2GB of RAM ran into trouble (dropouts, sluggish gui, etc.) after a few hours of performance. No-one could really fathom it at the time so it was consider better to reduce it so that people wouldnt use 256 and end up sounding like the music was being dragged through mud.
This was pretty controversial decision but it has solved a lot of problems for many users.
The 256 option will probably return (dont take that as gospel)
The Filter , well that was and still is a lot of fun (not). People complained there wasnt enough resonance on the filter so NI added some (maybe too much) so then peeps were pissed that it was to noisy so they changed it back (i think thats how it went).
Anyhoo pretty much all consider the answer to be a separate resonance knob.
And there was some hoohaa about the Xone Filter but ive tried to cleanse my mind of the the whole drama.
Sweet cheers karlos. So sounds like its just a few changes here and there and some fixes eh. I liked the filter the way it was but no biggy as i usually use the fx on the DJM anyway. I gotta say i’ve been really happy with Pro except for when it first came out, now its solid as a rock and we love it
Going over to the Dark Side eh. Im sure you will manage to slip in some Psytrance at some point !!!
Post some pics of the Mental Middle Of Nowhere Antics.
God i am happy that they changed those singing filters back, the filter now is soooo much more usable for general mixing rather than just as an effect. Those who want singing filter FX should use the filters in the fx section.
I really didn’t mind it the way it was, but now it definitely has a more no frills realistic feel to it eh.
Lol @ glowsticks… these girls are more jagermeister and “using the oven for uses other than originally intended”
The problem was with how it was is that you couldnt use it to simplly cut the low frequencies out of a track because it would start to drasticly colour the mid and high frequencies. Sure thats an effect that you will want sometimes but 9 times out of 10 if you just want a couple of tracks to sit together with each other nicely this isnt usually a desired affect for alot of people.
With you there … as soon as you tried to cut the lows with the filter it sends your level indicators right upinto the red !! craaaazy! Can’t wait to get a try of the new filters.
i use the gain knobs for the filters on the imix and have dedicated knobs for them on the herc. Basically after 8 carlsbergs its the only “effect” i use as i still feel big and clever using it haha
