Does anyone know what the bar above the time lapse is for on the SC6000s, some times it’s green and moves and others does nothing. It appeared after one of the up dates, is this just a another gimmick / pretty light or does it do anything and more to the point do DJs actually require this, or is it just another waste of working memory . Maybe Denon should think more about the working speed and quality. - Keith
Phase Meter - The new dynamic Phase Meter provides high visibility of the deck’s beat offset from the lead deck. Phase Meter is available for all Engine DJ devices, and Media Players can switch between the Beat Keeper or the new Beat Phase Meter.
There is a video about it on the Engine DJ Official channel:
Hi Stu-C
I must confess I did have a quick look at this first but not knowing what it was called did not see it straight away so thought I would take the easy way out and ask. But thanks I know you always help others.
I have to ask as you are so helpful and always there do you work or have any connection with InMusic / Denon in anyway. - Keith
Hi Parysatis
Thanks for that, the video was a great help but sad to say this is a waste and any DJ that listens to their mix would know if it’s still in sync or not, but thanks for the info. - Keith
Good to know that there people like yourself with Tech backgrounds willing to help the likes of myself. I just spent 3/4 weeks trying to get my OBS working as it did / should work so I could do my show on Mixcloud, my wife removed and put back OBS 3 times she updated drives and nothing solved the issue of no sound, it turned out to be the web-cam had a fault and it was killing all the sound on the laptop, anyway all sorted now. But once again that’s for your input nice to know you are out there with advice. - Keith
In fairness it was a popular feature request if I recall, I dont use it and haven’t even noticed it really on the gigs ive done since the release of 3.3 but there are plenty of people out there who seem to want it.
I think Serato have something that does the same job, as do the other pieces of software so im guessing thats where it stems from.
nope. serato’s own is way more useful as its independent of beatgrid. it uses the transient peaks rather than beatgrid, so even without beatgrids it works.
thats the one i pushed for in the feature request but we got this traktor style…which does the same as the old 4 blocks
Sorry yeah I didn’t mean entirely the same, just that it has a feature that gives visual representation of aligned grids, which I’m guessing is what is being seen as a gimmick.
I’d say this new meter is emulating Traktor. I tried it and didn’t prefer it to the original meter so I switched it back in settings and haven’t thought about it since.
I like this new feature, it is helpful when you need/want it, but not stupidly big/obstrusive if you prefer to ignore it. The loop and jump icons took quite a lot of space anyway, now they utilized it better by simply adding the phase meter beneath. Absolutely fine for me.
And Yes, that 4-bar display mode is only avaiable for the SC players.
