    Default Is there a decent manual for PCDJ Red?

    Even with the rudimentary knowledge I have picked up from experimentation, this program has saved me a great deal of time and aggravation on the job.

    But the one manual I found was worse than useless. Adobe based--difficult to scroll through the innumerable pages, it was written by a techie type with no common sense, and a remarkable ability to confuse and frustrate, instead of simplify and enlighten. I gave up after more than a half an hour, learning nothing whatsoever. All it did was piss me off, lol...

    Specifically, I need to know how to get PCDJ to remember where to cue the songs in, if possible, so I don't have to do it manually every fucking time. And you cannot go from one player to a cued in spot on the other player, it bounces right back to 0 00, thanks a lot, lol!

    Also, as far as I can tell, the only way to add songs to the 'waiting list subgroups'--folders for individual dancers--is to add it to the "Active List", then go into that Active List and add it from there to the dancer's list I want it in. There is no apparent way to change which list is active, or simply add the fucking song to the list I want in the first place.

    And how the FUCK can you do a search?? By pushing the little button with "Find" on it, you can type in a name, but then there's apparently nothing whatsoever you can do about it.

    I feel ya, the "loser manual" was a waste...as far as the search function goes all you have to do is type in the first letter or two of song title and it will bring up all selections in the PCDJ catalog that match that criteria...if this is not happening then you might not have uploaded your library to the PCDJ library (you should know whether this has been done because it takes for FRICKEN ever!!!) I qiut using Red awhile ago as FX and RED VRM are "das shiite", I'll see what I can do with the cue function ya need (started to do this once myself....it is a pain to do manually and I know there is a way to do it to cut all song lengths in the library so don't give up hope). Try going to their website and asking for tech help is another alternative.

    P.s. (I see the short songs won?? ah the lovely life we endure!! I'll pm ya with directions when available.
