Actually, it's a cool song to phase mix :)


The jog wheels in Rockit, can be used to stutter, by just tapping them -- hence, you phase in and out (you can do that with a mouse BTW, just don't drag -- just click really fast on the wheel). You can also do it via keyboard.

None of this is in the manual BTW. I consider Rockit an instrument, much like a guitar. It's up to the player to figure it out... :sqwink: :sqcool:

No, actually it is not (although I am doing some videos this week). ;)


I look at it this way:

I do not build a guitar, and hand it to Eddy V., or Jimmy P., and tell him how to play it.

That is their job -- my job is to give them a solid product, that they can learn to play and master... :)


Software, if done properly, becomes an instrument that one can play and expand upon, and not just a push this, and it does that, throwaway thing... That is what I strive for :)


The Stradivarius of software, is my goal...

Does the newer version of Rockit have seamless looping or Master Tempo?
Click to expand...

If you mean the latest release (4.2), sorta, and no...

The looping is seamless, yet the resolution is one second. So, if you happen to be able to click the mouse at just the right time, on a good day, and the winds are blowing favorably from the west, you may actually get it on beat... :D

No master tempo -- but the pitch control works really cool. :)


Rockit is not designed for beat mixing or matching, so you won't see much of that type of stuff in there. What's in the next version -- we'll have to wait and see...
 
Thanks Rick. Just the fact that you respond so quickly shows the value of the product.

I would probably beat mix 6 songs a night. Not alot. I just downloaded the most recent version. I love the skins. It adds variety to what I look at, at events. It seems very stable.

I have to test the search function. In other words, when I type the word, "bell" in, will I get:
Ring my bell
Archie Bell
etc..

I like that I can move the columns around as well.

Yes :)

The library search will search all text fields imported from the tags, so you will get anything that has a bell in it.

The advanced search (HDD search on some skins), searches the filenames on a hard drive (it is not library dependent). For example, what I do is keep my library reasonably small (program runs faster, yet has most of what I would play in there), yet keep all my songs on an external drive as well. If I need an odd request, I use the HDD search.

The HDD search gets faster each time you use it during a session -- the first time, it takes the longest, but after that, most of the stuff is cached, so it's very fast. It runs in it's own thread, so you can start the search, and close the window -- but it is still working, and the results are there whenever you open the window up. :)
 
I usually do a search on HDD before my gig begins to allow it to be faster when I need it to be.

And that is the correct way to do it -- do a dummy search when first setup :)


You win a prize Jon -- I have 2,000 empty beer cans. When will you be by to pick them up...? :D

You haven't seen the bottle collection yet... :sqerr: :sqeek:


Since the guy doesn't deliver anymore (hence pick up the empties as well), I put them out front on recycle week now, and watch people fight over them :sqlaugh:

This may have been asked before, but will RockIt ever support M4A files?

I ask because PO is now offering a weekly service and has chosen this format.

When the Good Lord says so -- not Steve Jobs... :D



For all I know, they may play in the video decks, if ya have the right Codec installed (read QuickTime)...
 
Updated Library Analyzer now available.

This is only really needed for people who get their music from dubious sources (read: buying drives filled with junk music). Basically, I got tired of spending hours on the phone explaining to them why their library won't load after putting 150,000 crummy songs in there with bad tags.

I don't condone the use of that stuff, but I updated the analyzer to fix the most common issues encountered, such as the record companies putting files out there with embedded NULLs in the tags, etc.

So, if you run into the scenario where you load songs into Rockit's library, and when you try to reopen Rockit you get a library parse error, close Rockit without messing anything up, and run the analyzer to fix the library -- instructions included in the program.

You can find it on the Support page on the right side links:

Your going to get a lot of Thanks for that addition trust me.

Now for the ASIO with Gigaport ...:sqwink:

Yer getting there Kid.....
Click to expand...

Well, thank you sir :)


As to ASIO:

Y'know, I downloaded the latest Giga HD 64 bit drivers (EWDM), and it was nothing but grief for two days (and no great joy in the end, although I sorta got them to work after 3 reboots) :sqerr:

Whoever's writing the drivers for ESI, should get together and have a few beers with the Native Instrument folks. ASIO is history, and the new audio stack in Vista/7 does not require them, or work well with them.


ASIO was a finger in the dike -- no need for that anymore :)
