Attention All Numark D2 Director Users

[fusionmtx]

i have the D2 and contacting numark is impossible so maybe you all can help me......whenever i play a track the bpm changes throwing my mixes off and im really about to return it unless someone can tell me how to fix this. Let me know what you need to know as far as hard drive and all that good stuff


Thanks

Ahem. Before anybody else says this, please introduce yourself in the Newbies section, it's a good idea.

Vectis and Rob, all yours.
PS. Numark forum still down for maintenance? Cortex are still talking to us. ( For now. It may perhaps disappear? )

[Vectis]

please introduce yourself in the Newbies section

Have you used the Librarian software to build a detailed index of the tracks you're playing out, or are you just playing them 'on-the-fly' and expecting the unit to somehow anticipate what's about to happen further downstream?

If its the latter, you need to do the former.

There are very very few tracks out there with a consistent BPM anyway, hence the Tap buttons which ought to help a little in an on-the-fly situation.

As usual the Cortex has a similar feature. It's the "Smack the blasted thing repeatedly in desperation " button.

Only one button - mine has about 6 for this function

yes i did it all with the librarian software the bpm stays still while playing the track for a couple of seconds and constantly changes like lets say i start playing its at 128bpm within seconds its changing from 127.4 to 128.5 and i cant keep up with keeping everything mixing, ive never seen anything like this before

fusionmtx, are you going to bother introducing yourself as previously suggested in both this thread & by PM?

I cant see what the problem is there, that's not really any significant change in beat.
I don't really beat match but I would say the majority of tracks don't have a continuous beat, I guess that's the reason for the pitch sliders

[spin mobile disco]

The reson for it is because the numark is very accurate, when you have the bpm added by either the numark software or the mixmeister software the numark displays exactly what the beat is actually doing. Besides .5 of a bpm off shouldnt make much of a difference as it would take at least 4 seconds to drift off beat at that variation.

** and no i shouldn't have to introduce myself to get help on a forum, i am only trying to get help on this one issue, so please stop Pm'ing me and constantly asking me......I don't harass the members on the Forum that i run to introduce themselves, so please stop.....K thanks
