Have fun :)

"Application has failed to start because d3dx9_35.dll was not found" The program won't run. Tried re-installing, but that didn't do it. Please help me fix this issue.

It seems you don't have DirectX 9 installed (which is strange).
What version of Windows do you have?

XP. What I don't understand is why this preview wouldn't work, but every other one has. What should I do? Is it the preview itself? Please tell me.

Nevermind, figured it out for myself.

Video still doesn't work however.

The beat counter I really can't see being of any value unless you improve the BPM detector or allow the user to correct the value if the counter is off. It can become pretty annoying knowing that you're on beat 1 when the counter tells you different.

I have the same problem with the new release.

I did a DJ-job on Friday and I made a big mistake: I used FutureDecks. What happened? IT CRASHED! Of course! I will never ever use this f... software! It is not more than a piece of bullshit! Fuck XYLIO!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

@ Marcus ... your fault. Don't use a beta/preview version without testing.
-----
@ VIM .... Why are other programs much more stable? What else is better?
Please rework your playback algorithm !

A Linux version would be nice, but is there any support for midi controller like BCDx000 ?
-----
Could someone test the timecode feature ?
I tried with torq-vinyl + bcd3000, it crashes surely after few moments and it sounds horrible.

Same problem at first, but solved after having DirectX updated.

Vim, thanks for the HISTORY and PHYSICAL REMOVE options. Now, HISTORY can be saved as a PLAYLIST and we can play the same selection of songs (program) again. It should be even better if songs also remain shaded in all playlists if REMEMBER HISTORY is checked.

:D

Ok, thank you all for the comments/suggestions.
1 - I guess we have to test better for DirectX 9 presence on the computer (if it's installed or not)
2 - we did improve the BPM detection but not by much (however it's noticeable on some songs) -- you will also be able to change the 'downbeat' in the release version.
3 - I'm sorry about the crashes, but you all should not be using beta/preview versions for real work. We release these versions for 2 reasons: 1--for you to see what features are going to be available in the next version and 2-- to test them so that they won't crash in a release version.

Anyway, thanks again for testing the application -- it's really helpful
