Stage Traxx beta version 3.0.0

peter

Excellent idea. Only display the stepper when it makes sense to change something.

Hi.. running iPhone 6, iOS 12.
Not sure if I’m missing something here but I’ve added songs to a playlist,
Can select them and hit play, but the interface is entirely different to the older version, i.e. no graphics, just a plain text window with a small waveform viewer.. is that right?

Yes, that's right. The interface is redesigned to scale to different devices (phone, tablet, later on computer) and should only display important information.

Alun101

peter mmm, I like the addition of a waveform showing track progress, but mine doesn’t skip to next track, I have to close current track and the select next in line... is that right?

peter

No, that's not right. The screen you posted is the edit screen. It is intended for adjusting song settings, not for playback.

To just play a track, swipe it to the right and it will be added to the queue. Once the queue has at least on song in it, a mini player window will open on the bottom of the screen where you can start/stop playback. Tapping on the title in the mini player will make it slide out so that you can view lyrics.

peter thanks, I just tried the ‘swipe right’ thing and that worked.
However, I swiped to add 3 tracks, all three played, but when I changed the function of the pause key to ‘next track’, things went wrong.
After the last track played I clicked ‘next’ and the app crashed back to my home screen, I thought I might restart track one again, it didn’t.

peter

That's a good find and clearly a bug but I can't reproduce it. Maybe because in the meantime I did also change some other things regarding playback. The crash report should be available shortly and I will take a look at it.

Alun101

peter just tried it with Continuous playback both on and off, as well as lyrics on and off, makes no difference, still crashes after the last song has finished and you hit ‘next’ again.
All songs are a mix of mp3 and m4a, don’t know whether that’s a thing.

Hope that helps.

Alun101

Alun101 as an addendum, I’ve just tried it with a single song in the playlist, the problem seems to be with the ‘next’ function as app doesn’t crash when it’s set to rewind or pause.

peter

I can now reproduce the problem. It only happens when the main player is opened. The mini player does work fine.

This is something I will fix. Thanks for finding this issue.

Not sure this can be done, but would it be possible to add a volume stepper/slider in the “Song Details” dialog that would be the master volume control for that song? This would give a place to make fine adjustments to the volume of a single song that is “remembered” which would not be easily change during play back.

peter

coopdawg I can add the volume settings also to the song details view but currently the volume slider in the big player would also modify the stored volume of the song. I'm not sure yet if this would cause any confusion.

Spelolle If you only see a "Stage Traxx 3" folder, than this is the only app you have installed that supports the iOS files app. Where do you have your files stored? Dropbox? That should be visible on the left side under Locations (see screenshot further above). All other file services like iCloud or Google Drive or even Owncloud/Nextcloud are also available under Locations if you have integrated them with the iOS files app.

Hello Peter.
I tried to import from local files, in this case iPad. I can see the Stage Trax 3 directory, but not the other. I would like to import all my songs, with added lyrics. Any suggestion, how I can do that?
You have som real good Improvement, in the new coming version, for example, Placeholder and tempo adjustment.
No crash so far.
Have a nice day.

Spelolle

Thanks.

SoloGuy

I am so happy that you are continuing to develop this GREAT app!
Thank you!!

I really miss the big volume up/down buttons that version 2 had. It was great for making quick adjustments while playing the track. Can you put this back into version 3?

peter

rumbakid The volume slider does not work well for this purpose?

rumbakid

peter

peter No it doesn’t. 1) It’s not in the main player window. 2) It is very jumpy. A swipe can turn the track up .5 db or 2 db. Not good for when you are performing. I liked the volume buttons because it was fixed at 1db increments. Plus it had big buttons on the main screen.

peter

rumbakid OK, I understand. So how about I move the volume slider to the song details dialog and exchange the slider in the big player with buttons?
