RockIt Question

Rick,

While we are on the subject of Rock it..........

How do I set overlap, fade speed, etc. on automix?

And fade speed on the normal player setup?

Rick,

Is there a setting for how long a song plays before it's put into the history playlist?

No. A song doesn't make the history list, until another song is loaded into that particular deck. The reason for that, is to keep the processing down to a minimum, and at a time when it is least likely to interrupt anything else. One consequence of that, is that you will never see the last song you played in the history list, unless you load another song after it.

Also, there is no way to turn off the history function, as Rockit uses it for other things as well, and it is set up for future internal uses...

You can use the jukebox or sampler to preview songs, without them making the history list though -- just set to the appropriate sound card


@Steve,

AutoMix Properties -- that's covered in the manual

The only thing not covered in the manual, related to that, is Fade In/Out speed. That can be changed in the INI file, but not directly in the Config section.

Anyway to put a column in the history list that gives the duration of how long it was played?

Nothing to see here -- move along...


Anyway, the answer is no -- well, not really no, but not happening anytime soon no...

Almost every function in Rockit's library DLL, relies on the columns in all lists, being the same, and in order -- hence, the reason you can only resize, or hide columns, but not permanently move them around, or add or subtract.

I don't plan a major rebuild of the library DLL until version 5, as it is quite a task, and will likely take me close to a year to do...

After 4.2 or 4.3, I am going to start on V5 -- so other than minor maintenance upgrades, it will be some time before 5 comes out -- as it will be a full, ground up rebuild. It will be built on a pure 64 bit platform, and native to Vista and Windows 7 -- might not even run on XP...

I'm going to try and coincide the release of 5, sometime after Win 7 releases.

There's a manual? :sqembarrassed:

Ok how do you change fade in the INI file is that also in the manual?

OK Rick another question. While on Rockit.
I have many different play lists set up. When I update my library I delete the songs form the library and then add the songs back into the same library, to keep the playlists active. Is this wrong or am I thinking wrong.
How do I update my library with out losing my play lists. I know you can add each song, but I added about 200 this last week and it would have taken forever to select each song to add

@Steve,

In the INI file, in the MAIN section towards the top, you will find two values:

FadeinSpeed=50
FadeoutSpeed=50

The lower the number, the faster the speed (if I recall correctly). Those values only are used when using the fade in/out buttons on the players. That is not in the manual.

For the AutoMix fade speed, you use the Fader Speed, in the AutoMix Properties. That IS in the manual. The manual is available on the website -- I took it out of the download to make it smaller, and make it easier to update. The link is on the Support page here:

Also, if you click Help on Rockit's main menu Help command, it will open yer browser, and load the PDF -- if you are connected to the net.



@Madness,

Playlists are independent of the library -- in fact, Playlists are exactly the same as a library, they just have a different file extension. So adding or deleting files from your main library, has no effect on a playlist.


@Randy,

I don't understand what you mean...? :sqconfused:

Thanks Rick,

I will have this mastered in a few days I hope! LOL

I now have a hard copy complete manual! Thanks again!
