Engine 5.0.1 RGB Waveforms - is it possible to update whole library at once?

General Area
1

Do I need to open/play each of my folders/playlist to make this RGB colors apply to my whole libarary or is it a way to do "global"update ?

2

Simply run “Reanalyze All Tracks” in the desktop software! But be careful: any adjusted grids will be lost, as they will be overwritten!

3

makes sense thx, I was hoping I can do it without laptop “help”

I think there should be an Analyze: Get missing analysis data under right-mouse when tracks don’t have RGB yet. This would not overwrite grids etc.

But yeah, easier using a laptop; only takes a few minutes.

I could have sworn instructions for this were in a modal dialogue when you launch engine 5.0.x for the first time.

btw, CUE points are less visible in RGB mode, same warm color scheme..

Yeah, I never understood the fuzz about the RGB color scheme, but hey sufficiënt votes, it got implemented as an option. Good devs listening to what the customers want.

It’s actually an issue in both modes:

  • In Tri band mode, some green/cyan/blue Cue points become hardly visible
  • in RGB band mode, some red/orange/purple Cue points become hardly visible

This depends on exact positioning, and once the playhead marker passed, visibility improves a lot. An issue I have reported a while ago, but still hasn’t been acknowledged.

Solution: Put a little contrast line around the triangle indicators (black or white).

That’s a great suggestion :slight_smile: I’ve always skipped the colors that’s “clashing” with the waveform, so that would be a nice fix for sure :slight_smile:

What could be easier than placing the dots at the top? There’s usually less visual information there.

This is also something I had in mind. Would add the benefit of differentiating between Hot Cues (displayed above the wave), and the current/temporary cue (displayed beneath). Similar to how these dudes do it since the CDJ-1000 MK3.

All those pixels give me retro vibes, almost.

I’m wondering what “Day mode” would show or hide with the new colours and hot cue colours etc

13

The same applies… adding another inverted triangle at the top isn’t very complicated… I don’t remember if there’s a feature request already created.

14

or maybe editing colors of CUE points would be possible in near future..

I’ve tried in Day Mode - it looks slightly better tho (more visible because of contrast)
