Been using the beta since it was released a few days ago. It's extremely buggy. Yes, the playlist issues are fixed, but here's what I've come across so far:
- Lots of UI freezes on my DDJ-RZ. Can't use pad effects or switch from hot cue to slicer, everything is just frozen. Can't pitch bend, etc. This lasts from 20-40 seconds, and is extremely scary.
- A few times during my set I got the spinning beachball of death (usually when tryig to load a song from a different playlist that i'm in). all my tracks are on my internal Macbook SSD. Never happened on 4.1.2
- Once during my set the controller became completely unresponsive (music kept playing) but I couldn't manipulate it at all,just kept playing like I wasn't touching it. Couldn't use hot cues or stop the track. Resolves on its own after about 30 seconds.
- A couple times during my set when hitting hot cues, the song didn't jump to the appropriate areas. Hit it a few more times, it didn't listen and then 5 seconds later, it goes to the hotcue, but now completely out of time. CPU bar is in the bottom half (as usual).
- May be my imagination but my CPU temps and fan speeds ere much hotter than usual during this build. Is RB doing more processes in the background than older versions.
Yes, I can fill out a ticket but I'm not concerned these issues wont ever be fixed. There are at least a dozen posts about 4.2.0 causing issues with CDJs and with controllers but i've yet to see a message from a forum moderator. Is there hope for this version?
Here's some free advice. Now that you've done DVS, and video (essentially bring yourself up to the leve of Serato/ME), please stop adding more features and toys and just work on stability, speed and resources. I think I speak for most people in that they would rather have no new features for a month or two and just solid refinements and bug fixes (like the quantizing issue thats been mentioned many times).
Thanks!

On top of that, I don't get why we're being told to download 4.2.0 when on the website, all I see is 4.2.0b. If 4.2.0 was re-released and fixed, where's the download link?
I have a ddj-rz and its useless right now. I cant even load a track without it freezing up my entire computer. It's irritating to the point where i just feel like throwing my expensive equipment out the window. The store link says download RB 4.2.0b but its stuck on 4.2.0 after I download it. What the hell man. We are losing money because of this issue. Plus I seen someone post a link to a RB 4.0.2c update. Is there truly such an update or is it some spam/virus trap?
