Add more information

I have one question

Is this too difficult to add more info to load deck screen.

One of the programers 13.06.2024 have nice thing to change the view to performance view very nice but he didn’t thing about load deck screen or he have big fantasy this day.

So can you add more info on this screen

More info? What info? Add more info to your question maybe? It will definitely help a lot.

Od you want to choose next track on SC live 4 you didn’t see information about track. Time or the track finish playing etc.

Is simple to one of programers add some information on this screen is very hopefull to see a time of track I can’t understand why for all of you is so difficult to understand this thing. This is big problem when you want to choose song some people is coming to ask you something and after that you must go to previous screen to see one more time where you can load track because you didn’t remember this is to hard for you to understand this ?

Is that the currrent version in your screenshot above?

Doesnt the coloured bar show how far through the track it is? then there is also a status of ‘playing’ or ‘complete’ above the coloured bar?

Do you have SC live 4 or prime 4+

No, i have a Prime 2, i will check the screen tonight and see what it looks like on there.

Are my observations correct?

Phps it may be a suitable place to display all information about the running track (e.g. disco Version, DUB, featuring, Radio version and so on)

I mean to see all information equal as if you tap a track in the library view :innocent:

No, but seriously! You’re talking about the function that loads a track into a deck! So the only useful thing would be to see the remaining time of the deck(s) currently playing. But personally… I don’t mind not having this information, because I’m not going to load a track at the last second, and what’s more, we have a visual indicator (flashing of the currently playing deck when it’s close to the last few seconds of the track). This function is configurable in the software’s “Settings - Display” and in the player (Track End Warning), with a flashing range from Off to 90 seconds before the end of the track. The most important thing for me is that the music loads quickly into the deck; I don’t want a screen freeze due to information overload. I set the Track End Warning to 70s, this allows me to avoid a blank due to a lack of inspiration or because someone is talking to me, I will be able to find a song in 1 minute and 10 seconds.

You didn’t understand me, DjMell, what I mean is that the information should be visible because when I play on 4 decks, I also have time to load a song, but if someone interrupts you while loading the song and starts talking, then you have to go back to the previous view to remember which deck you wanted to load the song to, don’t tell me this hasn’t happened to you, unless you play on 2 decks, then there is no problem.

Do you not have ‘lock playing deck’ active?

For me, its the absolute first setting i look for on new gear or software.

For me too I have it :slight_smile:

I am also a SCL4 user and can recommend you an alternative workflow:

  1. Switch to an available deck by using the layer button before loading the track
  2. Load the track directly to the deck by using the 2 left/right load buttons

This way you never actually have to see that screen.

But I do agree that the information you suggest can be useful, even if it wouldn’t impact me.

Another thing that can be useful on that screen is a “LIVE” indicator if the volume fader is not down and the track is playing

Something like this

Volume up + track playing: :red_circle:LIVE

Volume up + track stopped: :yellow_circle:STOPPED/PAUSED

Volume down + track playing: :yellow_circle: PLAYING

Volume down + track stopped: :green_circle: AVAILABLE
