Hank,

Also, you need to update the drag-n-drop rectangles. If you drag into the request list, it places the song into Deck a. Dragging into Deck B, does nothing.

I don't need a larger resolution. I was just thinking of a person who may prefer to have a smaller resolution of RockIt on their screen and another application. When I move RockIt, the jewel case displays get some weird artifacts. It looks like you have that area transparent. I think just throwing a black background on it, would fix the problem.
 
Yeah, there are certain combinations of background and line colors that don't work all that good.

Reason being, we have to create a monochrome mask to do the drawing and transparency stuff, and some combos just XOR out the actual color, so white will come out.

I honestly have no idea what combos will do that, so you will have to experiment a bit. I put it in the "Rockit Upgrade Notebook", and I'll see if I can add a parameter that will override that for future versions... :)

You don't drag a song onto the the flash drive that says "Request List". You click on it and it opens a new window that you can then drag songs into (even though the "no" symbol appears, it still accepts drag and drop).

Right clicking on the tracklist will enter songs into the "automix list".
 
Rick,

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hank, try dragging a song into either of the decks and see if it works?

There are hidden rectangles set up behind the scenes (located in the XML file) that have to be set up to where your deck displays are located on you skin.

Oh, are you saying that the drag and drop areas have to be assigned? I did not know that. Let me go play.

Weeeeeeeeeee!:sqlaugh:
 
This has been fun to watch! After tonight's gig...I'll have some time to try & play, too!

Hey Booch,

Between this thread, and the other Rockit threads here -- that is the tutorial :sqlaugh:

I will actually have to re-read all these threads as I do the tutorial.

I wrote the skinning system quite a ways back, and forgot how a lot of it works :sqerr: :sqbiggrin:


FYI: Rockit had the ability to change skins mid-stream, but I pulled it at the last moment, because it was causing some hangups once in a while. I will revisit that for the next upgrade... :)
 
You know what it's missing.... a voice drop gain control...

Basically a button that can be engaged to reduce the music volume that has an adjustable db gain setting which would allow the DJ to do voice overs without having to go to the mixer drop the volume make the announcement then pump it up again.... all he/she'd have to do is click a button with a pre-defined or variable gain drop .... not a sudden one but a gradual one.

This is useful because once you get your mic settings to the point of being loud enough... you can simply drop the music level temporarally then disengage the button to return the music back to where it was.... without having to mess with the mixer, be it your physical mixer or the Rockit mixer.
 
My mixer already has that function! :sqbiggrin:

Mine did, till I broke it off -- actually, it was the drunk gal with the bar stool, but who's countin'... :sqerr:


Course, I never once used it the entire 20 years I've had the mixer :)
 
I lower my music when needed or speak through an instrumental or solo section LOL. Thanks!! If I need to get frantic about it my Denon X900 has the button for that as well.

Booch,

Start in Photoshop. Think of a theme and make a basic background image.
Then, skim through the existing skins to see what buttons and knobs you like.
Assign them positions using the XY coordinates. Basically play around. You learn so much just by playing around with something.
