Engine prime what would you like

[Abraxo]

#2 already exists in EP and on the Prime units.

Hi all

It would be nice if engine could import from Virtual DJ, import the smart lists of serato (and comment it previously) and be able to create their own smart lists

A way to add all crates structure from donor program eg Serato to Engine Prime collection will be nice.

I’m talking more about the ability to fine tune it dynamically. I’ve been able to adjust them, but I’ve never been able to make a single track start at 70 BPM, and then edit the second part of the beat grid to 140 BPM if it doubles time in the same track. If it can be done, awesome, I’ll just have to figure it out.

[Jay_DenonDJ]

Thank you all for these suggestions and I’m happy to confirm some of these are included in the net Engine Prime update coming very soon!

[El_Corsario]

Hello I would like to leave here the links to the suggestions I have made to engine prime lately in the forums and some of the problems that I have with the quizas are already solved but just to be sure that the message arrived

thanks @Jay_DenonDJ for answering some of these messages from me

MCX8000 .m4a files and engine prime

Hello, I’m writing you guys because I have a problem with my mcx8000 firmware 2.1 and my engine prime 1.2.2. My music files have extension .m4a and are encoded by using aac. Engine prime tells me that they are not compatible with my mcx8000. However, if I copy them directly in a pen drive and plug it to my mcx8000 it recognizes it so it works perfectly. That’s why I don’t understand why engine prime keeps telling me they are not compatible. I understand .m4a is a container and acc a codec which…

Serato, Engine prime and MCX8000 cue colors

Hello, I’m writing you guys because I have a problem with my Denon mcx8000. Thing is that in engine prime when I import my crates from serato the cue points have the same colors in engine prime as in serato. However, when exporting music to the pen drive and plugging it to my mcx8000, the cue points have different colors. This is a problem for me because I give the cue points different colors according to what is happening at that exact moment in the song. So, when it changes color on its own o…

Feature Request for Engine Prime

I would like engine prime could be used with my mcx8000 (and of course all compatible hardware) as I do with serato, ie play songs, mark cue points, even use it to mix without using serato, I do not know if I made myself understood , sorry for my English thanks and regards

New Feature for mcx8000

Hello, I would like the mcx 8000 to save or define the pre-set configurations when you switch on in engine mode, that is, you do not have to adjust the zoom of the waveform, the pitch bend range and the key lock, I usually put the key lock in on in engine mode and the pitch bend in 10 and I adjust the waveform a bit slower but this I have to do every time I turn on the computer, I could not use this configuration or put a menu in the setup that let’s define this as for example key lok (on off) e…

MCX8000 new feature please

Hello it would be possible to add that in one of the track search views we can see both the bpm and the key simultaneously, now you can only switch between views and just see or the bpm, key or track time would be good a 4th option that would allow see bpm and key although the space of the name and author was diminished a little. sorry my english greetings

Feature request to allow fixing wrong BPM fast even without knowing the true BPM Value

1. Open GRID EDIT CONTROL

2. Hold Shift (or another modifier) and the + or - button to adjust the bpm value in larger values eg as a whole digit rather than going in .001 values

3. When one is close to the desired BPM as will be evidenced by the grids lining up with the downbeats, then releasing SHIFT and just using the + or - for finer adjustment

Denon DJ… THANK YOU for incorporating Rekordbox!!! I’m excited to have an easier way to import my music, and then export it to play on SC5000s.

Now that we’re “in” Rekordbox, I believe you’ll win A LOT of favor of RB users if you incorporate the algorithm your SC5000s use to work with Thumb Drives…

Here’s what I would like to do… Insert my Rekordbox thumb drive into my laptop. Import my Rekordbox Playlists into Engine, analyze them in Engine, then re-sync the USB. I’d like Engine to add its metadata to the original files on the thumb drive, so I now have a dual compatible thumb drive.

It works well if I analyze on the SC5000, then put it into Engine, Import it, then Sync again… I’m just looking to eliminate the middleware of the SC5000 and do it all inside Engine.

Edit to add note: I’m aware that the SC5000 imports the RB playlists, but it doesn’t analyze until you load the track… I’d like to import RB from the thumb & analyze in Engine, then put it into the SC5000.

[mufasa]

Still on the BPM concerns that I have.

Can we have a set 1.0.0 option or as in ableton warp from here straight option.

For some album songs that may have intros that are not on beat.

[VesNL]

Never noticed it since i don’t use the software often but there isn’t bitrate field to know the quality fo the mp3 file. Just the type of file.

[djdragon]

Bit Rate of files in the column sorting please. Helps with good house keeping.

I honestly can’t believe I waited almost a year for such a minor update to Engine Prime. Almost an entire year. Serato DJ had more changes in this amount of time (probably an unfair comparison since they specialize in software), and the same goes for Rekordbox. At this point why not just take the old Pioneer approach and outsource the development of Engine Prime to another company? It’s been a year, and STILL no smart crates, can’t reorganize crates, reorganizing playlists is still a PITA, still no flexible beat grids, playlists still export in the incorrect order (what’s the point of letting me organize them in the software if it doesn’t translate over to my USB device?), still no auto sync to external devices. But hey I can import my library from more efficient software, so that’s a plus, right?

Is there a road map of any sort for features to be added in the future? Is there some sort of game plan to catch up to the competition? Mind you, this is the same competitor targeted with the campaign of “change your rider”, aka the same competitor with software vastly superior.

I really don’t want to come off as a Denon hater considering I REALLY like the hardware, but software updates (not talking about hardware updates like with the SC players) are insanely too slow, and when we finally get them, it doesn’t fix much of anything…except give us the ability to import a properly organized library from superior software…a year after the last update.

@JeffG

At this point why not just take the old Pioneer approach and outsource the development of Engine Prime to another company?

Because they did the opposite when they bought DenonDJ brand: ditched the old software that was done by third party and started from scratch in-house with AirMusic (inMusic company). Now new software is still missing some features from previous version and seems will forever play catch-up with competition.

[Julianus]

This is definitely not any sort of minor update. Yesterday was probably one of the DJ industry’s largest coordinated firmware and software upgrade release days ever.

[Canaris]

Let’s not forget that Engine Prime music management software is available to download and use for free, while Serato and Rekordbox with all their advanced features requires payment.

[mufasa]

Rekordbox Preparation software is free to download and use.

Serato Offline player is free to download and use, you dont need to own any hardware to manage your library

Last i checked anyways

[VesNL]

I have to disappoint you, aside from importing from Traktor, Serato and multi column sorting Rekordbox can do the same as Engine Prime. And on some fronts even more in the free version.

IMHO, Denon has leaned out the launch and shutdown times of the software with 1.3.1 so that means less sloppy coding in a year. Whereas the others are the opposite in the past year, I’m all for Denon (inMusic) having in house software coding and design other than farming it out to save on overhead even if it takes time.

[Slater]

Id really like to see a quick preview of tracks like rekordbox…so much easier to sort playlists with a quick listen, also dated histories.

[cesarvog]

I would like EP a) monitoring folders/crates/playlists for file addition and removal. b) some way to synchronise the Collection/Crates/Playlists/Folders referenced in the Main Collection with their counterparts in devices having copies of afore mentioned items, so, when you add/remove files from the Main Collection/Crates/Playlists/Folders, all changes propagate to the devices, after you press some kind of sync button.
