peter Yes very complicated and requires a lot of math knowledge to get right. I would very much like to have a working beatgrid but so far I haven't been able to implement anything that might even work half decent.
Hi Peter, just wondering if you tried a simpler approach with what we have already, the ability to mash together two songs using audio segments, as they are segmented normally on the beat , all my songs are fully segmented from start to finish even the END of songs have a segment that finishes on the beat so I can get back to any previous segment on the beat , this works a treat, it would be nice to use that data to jump to other songs with that data already available with a quick fade on the out going song of that segment and either a fade in or instant start on the new song.
In other words use ends of audio loops to X over to new songs instead of a crash and burn approach, the fact the other songs have different beats does not matter at least the joining point is on the beat.
Just a thought.
Cheers Damir
Just to add, perhaps a single tap on the XFade gives you a XFade on the end of now playing segment , and a double tap gives you and instant XFade , or the other way around whichever suits the user better.
This gives us a much more flexible way to get to next song.
I would also make it if you tap on the NEXT song while the now playing song is playing the user gets 4 seconds or so to choose which audio segment he wants to choose to XFade to in the next song , in other words he gets the audio segments of the NEXT song presented to him for a very short period of time which automatically returns back to now playing song segments , this way it gives us flexibility to create on the run thus maintaining the energy in the venue.
It’s not perfect but it’s better than just press and pray 🙏
Just a thought.
