Good news. I use free version of ST3 since one year and want to buy full version but I think I will waiting ST4 for now. What news about video player?

peter

I think I will release StageCue once there is nothing more on my plate except Stage Traxx and Stage Cue. So late May seems likely. Until then just continue using the Testflight version. I will update it to prevent it from expiring.

Congrats Peter. That's a great feeling! Good luck on ST4, eager to see what you have in store.

Hi Peter,
I was having trouble last year with tracks not syncing up but I have resolved it for my setup. These things are all probably obvious for you but as a novice to audio, it has all helped my problem.
I make sure all tracks are in same audio format as stagetraxx (as you advise in your tutorial) and most importantly the name of each track within a song MUST have the song name attached and not just "1-click, 2- Bass, etc as stage traxx will pick the first one it finds and assign it to the song even if it is from another song. I also have done a full backup and turned 'sync with iCloud OFF'
All tracks then run from within the computer and it is not continually trying to back up.
Having a good processor in you mac is also essential, mine has the M3 chip.
Stage Traxx is a fantastic program and runs my backing tracks with time stamped lyrics and synth program changes so smoothly. I even now have a wireless pedal to select songs and stop/start. I am running the EVO 16 Audient interface and have 8 tracks separated for more control.
Thank you for creating this program and I am very excited to see what version 4 has to offer.
Congratulations on going 'full time' with this project.

Congrats Peter, that's excellent news.

I'm sure you have some excellent updates scheduled.

Here are a couple of suggestions for updates as you see fit.

It would be great to be able to Copy and convert a Lyrics Only song to a Multitrack version (simply to make for a more convenient and time effective duplication of the same song.

Also, it would be exellent to see a "snapshot" of what playlists a particular song is on from the settings screen (as opposed to having to click into the next layer to see if a song is assigned and on what lists).

Just some thoughts.

peter

Version 4 will no longer have different song types.

I will not clutter up the song detail page with info that is not needed often, like the playlists this song is part of. Sorry.

jazzlizzard

peter Oh, hmm. I love seeing what playlists any given song is in. I have a lot of different playlists. Probably too many lol! But whatever you think.

peter

You can already see it but you have to press the "Playlists" item in song details. And that will remain.

BTW, not sure if it is just me, but while I can see that this post has been tagged as "Sticky", it is not 'stuck' or pinned to the top of the forums for me when I come to https://support.stagetraxx.com ?
I always have to go looking for this post as it disappears down the list?

peter

Yeah, the forum software does not have a way to make it stick on top of all posts.

Hi @peter

Just wondering have you an ETA for ST4

Per Peter's original post - "If all goes according to plan, I’m aiming to release a public test version by late summer, with a final release set for the end of the year."

I'm sure Peter will share any revisions to that expectation if they arise 🙂

peter

I am still on track and I am confident I can hold that timeline.

peter happy new year, a little late I know my apologies. I have been very busy and not so active here.

ST3 still going strong, hoping to implement some of the newer features soon and make a new video showing everything I’ve been doing with it since before multitrack options were introduced.

Would love to be part of the beta testing as per usual 🙏😊

johnplanetz

Looking forward to all this. Thanks for your hard work Peter!
I'm curious if ST4 will be a paid upgrade for ST3 owners?

I'd also be happy to participate as beta tester, as I'm just beginning to migrate out of Band Helper over to Stage Traxx

Sharonzaz

johnplanetz can’t speak for Peter but ST3 was a paid upgrade (reduced price) from 2 and honestly I’d be paying whatever he wants for all the greatness he’s been offering us over the years
