  • Happy New Year and a Look Ahead for Stage Traxx

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.

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.

    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.

      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?

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

      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 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 🙏😊

          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

            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

              Yes, version 4 will be a paid upgrade. I have found a way to offer discounted upgrade prices for existing users. So if you already bought version 3 you will get a highly discounted price on version 4 in the app.

              Late the party here, but just a quick one to say how much our band love your app, now multitracking everything in readiness for v4.
              Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated.

              Fantastic Pete. Have you considered trying to incorporate DMX or writing software like your video software to integrate with stagetraxx and using ART sending midi data fir DMX?

              No, I think there are plenty of options available to control lights (ranging from hardware to apps) and most of them can be controlled via MIDI commands. So what could a new app bring to the table that isn't already there?

              Ok. Thanks Peter. Will some research. Just would mean that when a song is time coded in stagetraxx for lyrics midi commands could be sent. Sorry for the question but can u suggest something that would accept midi messages from stagetraxx to another DMX software or hardware? I don't wanna lug around a lighting console

              You will need some kind of hardware to create DMX signals. So I guess I would go with the smallest midi controller I can find that has all the features I need. Sorry to be so vague but I only use static lighting myself. I gave up on DMX as it takes too much time wiring everything up on stage and tearing it down.

                Best DMX app out there is called blackout but it’s 1000 dollars full package unlocked it’s insane

                I use photon 2
                It’s a nice app. Little buggy, and it has gone without bug fixes and updates for a long couple years, developers has promised a new version that has been “coming” for over a year now. If you can live with the current version you’ll enjoy it. I do
