Hi!
Greta intro V8!!!

Kind regards,
Mas
 
Any chance we might be able to get a preview video of the new and improved sampler system? I know it got touched on in the alpha sneak peak last winter - but I'd really like to see more on how that will be set up and working...

I know we ask the world of you guys... ;-)
 
just watched all 4 vids....


could ya hear the shouting from there?

I WANT!!!
 
Just caught up with the 4 videos and I must say I am looking forward to 7.1, but also can't wait for v8 - whenever that comes.

One decision has slightly shocked me though and this is the decision to drop Shoutcast and Icecast.

I, like many others DJ on internet radio stations. The majority of external hosts use Shoutcast or Icecast. It has been great to be able to broadcast direct from Virtual DJ and has made the set up process really really simple.

But I saw in the video, that the only option will be to broadcast direct to virtualdj.com with all other host options being removed. I think this is a real shame and I'm also wondering how it will affect owners of the Virtual DJ Broadcast edition - but then again I don't know how many of those you've sold ;-)

Current I am using BUTT (http://butt.sourceforge.net/) to record my shows which I upload to podomatic - the podcast provider chosen by the station I DJ for. I was kinda hoping that then broadcast/record interface would simply combine the existing two capabilities so that I would not need to run BUTT.

Now it looks like this will go the other way with me not using Virtual DJ at all to broadcast and having to rely on BUTT for both services.

Is the current plan set in stone? Is there no way back for Shoutcast and Icecast?

Cheers,

Roy

Definitively not dropped, its still there ;) look again
Not only is it of course there - its even improved ;)



 
Phew... Kinda worried but what Adam was saying in the video...



From 5:10 - 5:50 - Clearly says "No more Shoutcast, No more Icecast"

Might wanna correct that then ;-)

SO I'm guessing Shoutcast 2.0 support will be in there then...

Cheers,

Roy
 
My choice of words may not have been the best there, but I didn't elaborate. What I was trying to convey was the simplicity of the broadcasting options. My apologies for the confusion.
 
No worries, as long as it's improved that will suit me down to the ground... The fact you said record and broadcast, and knowing Shoutcast is still in there makes me very happy ;-)

Cheers,

Roy
 
Looks nice, just can't wait to see the finished product!
 
@GadgetMan - Don't worry. You stll can broadcast to a normal Sever. What Adam want's to explain is that if you use the direct broadcasting option the Link to your stream is shown at your VDJ Homepage - so no knowledge needed to find the correct link for streaming.

All you need is to point your friends to your VDH Homepage to click the link to your live broadcasting.

I disagree with the comment that the timeline is "the big one, what everyone's talking about" - I've really not heard many talking about it with much interest, everyones talking about the new sound engine, improved timecode, new sampler and effects if I'm not mistaken? After this I would go for video features?

Couldn't agree more........ the only reason I see myself using the timeline is for video but then we'll have to wait and see when it comes out. Just wish I had more info on the sampler, even CrossDJ or whatever it's called has a pretty badass sampler.......
 
I know, saw the readup of it on DJWorks a few days ago, for a £40 program it's got a pretty impressive feature list. The whole remix/live production/mad button pushing thing seems to be the current buzz in the DJ scene, let's hope VDJ's new sampler section will be up to the job! One thing I noticed about CrossDJ's sampler is that samples are master tempo'd... nice feature.
 
I would like to know if they are doing a beta test and if so how do I get on the list of testers?
