The last few weeks, I have been beta testing the Drift DJ and its getting a lot more stable.
The hardest part I have found is my tunes are from all over, going from Rave stuff from the late 90’s to more recent stuff with decent metadata. Some of it is recorded at as low as 192k to 320k but some at a sampling rate of 32, 44 and 48khz. However the current and previous firmware’s have had problems with different sampling rates.
It makes sense, especially with the complexity of the problem with DJ accurate pitching explained by the creator in the video discussion.
This will get fixed but for now I spent a lot of time trying to work out what is a problem with my music collection and what is a bug.
I recently was working this out in a coffee shop over a pour over coffee and I had some interesting questions and comments about the Drift Zero. Its certainly eye catching and like my prototype one before, I had some really interesting comments from the public. Looking forward to a long train journey to Amsterdam again on the Eurostar in November or the long international flight to Canada in October.
I’m finally at a happy place where I can do a mix and be confident the tunes in the library will play and can be mixed. So hopefully you will my first proper mix, although I’m also going to convert all my nux tunes to Opus audio to see how that changes everything,
Look out for new mixes on here and my mixgarden…
Just completed a long mix on the train to London, looking forward to sharing soon
