Stage Traxx beta version 3.0.0

DickyDutch

Hi Peter ref the ‘Queue display in lyrics view can now slide in and out’ would it be possible to include this as a remote action so it could be switched via Bluetooth pedal please? regards Richard

peter

DickyDutch I can add a pedal command for this feature.

Hi,

Songlist on bottom in portrait mode: You could use two colums for the songlist 🙂 then you can display 6 songs and both title and track time would also fit each column

About the graphical glitch: the track time was covering the title.. however, I can’t reproduce it now 🙂

About playlist volume: I play the piano while using the app, so using the physical volume buttons or the mixing console is way more difficult if I quickly want to adjust the main volume

I also just noticed something with the timer: while swiping the screen, the timer is not updating. It “freezes” until you stop swiping

Thank you!

Cheers,

peter

This is way too complicated to implement. Scrolling in a two column list where one column flows over into the next is not doable in a reasonable amount of time. I will stick to the left hand side column.

I will think about something when working on the UI improvements.

I will take a look at this.

Hi Peter - I agree with the post by musicadi regarding the ability to change the master volume from the screen. Although I use a small Bose mixer I sometimes use the built in mixer of a Bose s1 pro speaker which is sits on the floor (or speaker stand) and not in easy reach during a performance if I need to change the volume.

OK, so we have two separate volume settings: song volume and master volume. Would switching the volume slider between these two modes like in ST2 work? Remote control via pedal would always control the current selected mode. Or should both settings be available at the same time?

DickyDutch

The way I operate now is that I ensure that all my songs are at a similar/appropriate volume by editing/normalising them in wave editing software outside Stagetraxx. I then normally only want to control master volume when I’m performing. With ST2 I use the Playlist volume to do this because master volume is not available from the player screen. I normally check that all my playlists are 0.0db before I start and take a backup. I then restore this backup at the end of a show to ensure all my playlists are then reset to 0.0db negating changes that may have been made during the performance.
I realise that not all users use wave editing software, so with ST3 giving them the choice of being able to change either master or song volume from the player screen I think would be the way forward. Regards Richard.

Singerman

DickyDutch totally agree with you on this ...

A small progress update:

I am still working on the UI improvements. As most of you preferred the old interface, I did a lot of experimenting to find a way to get the visuals as similar to the old version as possible while still retaining the new flexible layout options necessary to support different device types.

I guess I made a breakthrough this week. Here is a sneek peek at the current status.

You can find most elements in similar places as before. It is not perfect yet, but I am tweaking and I think the dark mode might be finished by the end of the weekend. I hope to finish light mode by end of next week and be able to release a new update.

peter Looking good Peter. Nice one!

rumbakid

peter Yes! Looks so much better. Question. Is there a way to have it so that when you select a new song it automatically goes to the top of the queue? The old version behaved like this. Sometimes I select a song to perform next, but then change my mind and select a new one. But I forget that the old song plays first. I press start and the wrong song starts playing. It would be great if there was a setting you can select so that the most current song selection goes automatically to the top of the queue.

Singerman

peter fantastic - I’ve been away from the forum for a while but now the excitement begins. Now I can’t wait until the new version goes live!

musicadi

Wow, looking great! Thank you and have a great day,

peter

rumbakid It would be great if there was a setting you can select so that the most current song selection goes automatically to the top of the queue.

You can swipe a song to the right add it to the top of the queue. The consensus seemed to be that the default action should always put songs to the end of the queue.

rumbakid

peter I would really like to avoid swiping if possible. How about just a simple toggle in the settings menu? New song goes to 1) Top of queue 2) Bottom of queue.

peter

rumbakid OK, I will do that.

Singerman

peter Peter any ideas of costs for the new version yet?

peter

Singerman Yes, I have swayed away from the subscription model as I generally don‘t like Software subscriptions myself. Price will stay the same in the first 2 months as an upgrade offer and will increase to $20 afterwards.

Hi Peter I’ve noticed that when adding a song to a playlist, if the ‘Search Songs’ function is used at the top of Song List there doesn’t seem to be a way of completing the transaction other than cancelling it - the done function seems to be missing - or am I doing something wrong. In addition I’ve found that if a song file is exported from ST3 (using the Files App) is then modified, then reimported, both the new and old files are retained on the database even though the ‘delete old file’ is selected on import. Don’t know whether this is an iOS or ST3 issue. Regards Richard.

Tap on the "search" button on your keyboard to dismiss the keyboard. That's the standard behavior for iOS. For example the mail app behaves the same.

DickyDutch In addition I’ve found that if a song file is exported from ST3 (using the Files App) is then modified, then reimported, both the new and old files are retained on the database even though the ‘delete old file’ is selected on import. Don’t know whether this is an iOS or ST3 issue.

If you want to update the file, just copy the edited version into the Stage Traxx app using the Files App and overwrite the existing file. Importing the song again will always skip files that already exist in Stage Traxx so your edits will not be copied.

Fretwizard just a way to scroll the queue list in player view and select next song to play with my feet?

I am still trying to wrap my head around a solution that would work with less than 3 pedals. Only way I found possible currently is to use pedals for up, down and select. But I'm not sure you would want to use 3 pedals just to select the next song to play.

DickyDutch

Hi Peter - regarding duplicate songs being held in database I think I was getting confused - seems to be okay now - sorry for that! Richard
