D1 is no longer offering reflex and D1 and the developers have parted ways.

DEX is now their product of choice.

That's OK, I use VDJ (sorry Rick) :)

Just a PSA.

Like that's not a big surprise...hehe :sqlaugh:


BTW Ed, no biggie -- just means you'll have to pay for 2 pieces of software, when you get around to buying one of my versions (trust me, it will happen -- I will assimilate everyone) :sqwink: :sqbiggrin: :sqcool:
 
While it's likely it won't be back, it's not gone. They are looking for someone to take it over.

They are offering a free upgrade to DEX. I got my new code within 10 minutes.

Have fun with DEX -- try watching the memory usage in task manager when it's running :sqerr: :sqeek:

After a certain amount of time -- it will eat all your available memory.


At least Reflex was written pretty good -- just no one knows what it's actually supposed to do (except Jurgen) :rofl:


PCDJ should hire some programmers, and get back to writing their own stuff...
 
Hey Rick, how bout using this for your 'Ship' ?

Correct out sourcing gone nuts...No control at all, software guys are hard enough to understand..

You should have them in house so you can beat them everyday on the hour.

Memory management is good and besides it supports my Gigaport :) Plus connecting to Denon 4500 for those who use them works well.

Rick Take note : GIGAPORT :sqlaugh::sqlaugh::sqlaugh:
 
My personal take...

D1 is just a marketing house now -- they sell you stuff that other people make, that's all.

In the early days (PCDJ), they were on the cutting edge though, and came out with some nice stuff. But, then they hired more marketing people then programmers, and went downhill after that...

Well, the memory management sucks -- sorry, but they have more leaks than the Hoover Dam ;)

BTW, my stuff works just dandy with Gigaports, and has native support for the Denon 4500 built in :)

I still have my PCDJFX and apart from some of it's design limits and deleting files in the libray live that would cause it to crash it was pretty good with a good search and awesome Play list management. The record case is still one of the best I have seen to date and surprisingly was not used as the baseline for new program development.

I guess each software designer does not like to admit that an older product was pretty good and have difficulty making sufficient improvements to stand out on it's own. The Not invented here problem :(

When Reflex came out all the existing customers of FX said what the Fxxx it can do this or that and they lost the confidence of users real fast.

Lesson to PCDJ don't hype a new SW program if it can't do as well as what's already there. They also put too much faith in the "GURU" to make it all nice without strong controls.

Like I said beat those SW guys everyday on the hour, the minute they figure out you need them your sxxx out of luck.

Can you tell I'm a hardware guy ? :sqlaugh:
 
Rick is that Gigaport with ASIO ??

No...

Did you ever notice that ASIO, starts with AS -- so does ASS...


When MS adopts it as a standard -- I will support it. Until then, get two sound cards -- sounds better, less headaches, less CPU overhead, and built in redundancy :)

K.I.S.S. :sqcool:
 
I am still out on what I will use at home
(Sorry in Oz we still cant use it on the job as some think we can)

so i'll just be a coach potato and use my dj software at home!!!
 
If you only knew the troubles with PCDJ you'd understand why things are in disarray.

I met the hardware developer and software engineer for the original PCDJ Silver, Blue, and Red products. These guys are brilliant and good guys.

They since parted ways with the PCDJ and things went downhill shortly after that.

Now wait a minute there sport!

I'll have you know I cut my teeth as a developer and you can just take your franastan and quadrimple it!

So there. :sqlaugh:

Ex Engineering Director here and loved every moment of the explanation of why the software program was late "AGAIN" ..

The only fun we got was to have regular floggings of software programmers.

Hardware developers were just no fun at all. :sqlaugh::sqlaugh::sqlaugh:
 
Ex Engineering Director here...

Engineering directors call meetings.

Programmers make things happen :sqcool:



All we require, is that you throw some pizza and beer under the door every now and then, and stop the silly ass meetings. Otherwise, we task some assets, and have yer offices targeted... :sqwink:
