I think part of my issue is that I use Engine the alternative way, adding files from within the structure on the drive to create the DB on the drive itself and not using sync manager. The main advantage in doing this is that I can easily transfer playlists from VDJ via iTunes as the files are in the same folders and drive location.
The negative side in this instance is that I need to update them both separately as I don’t have a “collection” as such.
Based on the fact that the System One is indeed excellent and far easier to use, I’ll probably put my Prime Go+ up for sale, so if anyone in the UK is looking for one let me know!
I do as well. I think you can still use two versions this way. Run cleanup with the new version and reimport track info with the old version. Waiting a bit is also an option.
Put my Prime Go plus on eBay last night and it has sold already, so I’ll just be using 4.5 on the System One going forward. Thanks for everyone’s help.
It won’t be the same thing, Djay analyzes the stems every time you load a track and in any case there is a minimum lag (very negligible), Engine will also analyze them on the System One in the background only the first time you request it, the analysis will be much slower but once done with each new loading of the track the stems will be immediately available without lag
As soon as the System One Rumors began to surface, I sold my 6-year-old Prime 4. And although I’m really looking forward to eventually purchasing the Rane System One, I hope I won’t have to sell my Prime Go. I prefer the portability of my Prime Go over my old Prime 4.
However, this 4.5/ 4.3.4 database confusion needs to be sorted out before I purchase the “System One.”
Dang, I eventually want to purchase the “System One. Even though I already sold my Prime 4 (for a really good price). I definitely do not want to eventually sell my “Prime GO.” I rely on the Prime Go’s small size when I take it back and forth to my job, as I carry it inside my backpack. I’ll just wait until iNmusic sorts out this 4.3.4 & 4.5 database confusion/problem before I purchase the “System One.”
