I am a v7 user moving to v8 and I cannot locate the setting to reverse the wave form direction so it goes from left to right, where has that gone?

Yes indeed, this feature is now deprecated. There is a chance however to have it back in a future release, so i am marking this as a request for now.

It's not true
This current direction of the wave form is not good.
The deck turns left to right, not otherwise....

I really would appreciate, to have this back.
I always get confused, when I want to match two songs against the logical flow.

In the past, I never understood why VDJ and other software defaulted to the waveform moving from right to left. Coming from turntables, it just seems logical that it would go in the direction that the top of the record moves (as well as the jog wheels for that matter.)
However, it is not the end of the world. I see it as an opportunity to force myself to conform. In the time I have spent playing with VDJ8 (can't use it live yet) I can see that it won't take long to acclimate to the 'backwards' waveform and can actually now see some logic behind that direction too. It is more like the way most audio editing software functions, and if you think about it as a pointer to a point in time, it is moving left to right. You can also think of the jogwheel or turntable as a wheel, and as it turns clockwise, the terrain underneath it moves from right to left. It is starting to make sense.
I would encourage others to try it out this way.
There will always be those who are either not as resilient to change, overly sensitive to opposing opinions, or simply stubborn, though. For that reason, I agree that the option should be available.

You do not change a way of doing.
It's been several years since I remix with wave form left to right.
Now I am wrong especially in fast catching up on old disco and funk
With sounds that have abrupt changes of pace.
Only the visual is used
it is impossible to predict the change only listening

Yes exactly. A waveform is represented on screen horizontally, with the beginning on the left. Usually there is a 'play marker' or position indicator that moves from left to right over the waveform as the audio plays. This is exactly what happens in the VDJ deck waveforms.
However, on the top rhythm waveform view the 'marker' doesn't move. It's fixed centrally. Therefore it makes sense for the waveform underneath to move left. Relative to the marker, the waveform moves left.

yes I want Upgrate to Virtual DJ 8 .
and I miss VD7 of scrolling Inverded.
I have seen that it goes on VD7.
it is better from left to right.
I would very much like to have.
Because it is easier if all waveforms from left to right.
not only the player.
Please make it.

C'mon people... If the waveform is to move, it should be moving in unison with the record. I have no idea where this ergonomically backward movement started, or why Atomix first chose to copy it (and then everyone else copied them, like the Technics pitch slider), but it's simply wrong, and the option should be there to correct it. You'd think that some of these developers would be smart enough , or maybe brave enough, to think outside the box, occasionally. But, by and large, this seems to be a very copy-cat industry. At least Serato and some others, give you the option of moving the waves to the vertical position on the left side, where (moving upward) they are again in the proper direction.
This is absolutely no different than a car that turns right, when you steer left. Speaking for myself, if I am to be expected to use this software in a professional setting, this issue needs to be addressed ASAP.

When a track plays, the "needle" (aka playing head) moves from left to right. Is that correct ?
If you "stick" the needle in place so that it can't move, which direction should the waveform move ?
Yes, right, it should move from right to left!
And that's not something VirtualDj invented. It has been the standard since the very first audio editing application come to existence!
It's funny that you mention that upwards moving of the waveforms is normal since it contradicts your other statement for "unison with the record movement"
Assuming that as most people you start to count at "12 o clock" then the record's mark (sticker) moves "downwards" first and then upwards the same way it moves from left to right first and then right to left...
In other words, if you were to follow the first movement of the sticker for horizontal movement you should also follow it for vertical as well.
However yes having the waveforms move upwards is the right direction... Because as needle moves downwards (the first movement you notice), the waves must move upwards if you stick the needle in place...
I'm not here to argue the come-back of the reverse wave setting, which by the way belongs to the wishes forum as it's not a bug.
I'm just arguing that moving from right to left is NOT wrong. It IS the correct direction! :)

Well, no. The needle doesn't move at all. Other than swinging across the record to maintain alignment, it is totally stationary.

Wrong. As I say (and surely you already know), needles are "stuck in place", and records (physical waveforms) move clockwise. That is: left-to-right. If we move it, as you say; "right to left"... the music will play backward..! Ah... there's that word, again.

Isn't that what I said? That everyone is just copying each other? But what you aren't taking into consideration, is that these audio editing programs you speak of, were not DJ programs attempting to facilitate DVS. There, it's a different ball game. You now have a physical 'handle' on the waveform, via the record, platter, etc., that is now moving "backward" (there it is again) in relation to the simulated waveform on the monitor screen. And anyone can see that's no good.

I think you are just confusing yourself here. First.., as we all know, the needle does not move. Second.., yes strictly speaking, the record only moves left to right, at the top (or at "12:00") of it's movement. At the bottom (6:00), it's not only backward, but upside-down as well. So if I was DJing standing on my head, I suppose that would be fine maybe.
Of course on the right side (3:00) it's moving down, and at 9:00, it's moving up. Having said all that, as long as I'm having to work with horizontal waveforms, I want them consistent with the clockwise, left-to-right movement of the physical tool, record, platter, in my hands. You think that's too much to ask...?

No, sorry. I'd love to agree with you, but I can't, because you're simply wrong. You just haven't thought it out well enough yet.

If you put your turntables in the classic way, then the record moves underneath the needle, with the audio that has not been played at the right side of the needle, and the part that has been played at the left side of the needle.
The main reason it is displayed like this is not because it's like that on a turntable, but because (at least in most parts of the world) all sorts of data is represented left-to-right, with left being smallest/oldest/past, and right being biggest/newest/future.
(I'm not sure if in Hebrew/Arabic it is also common to reverse graphs and timelines, although I can imagine it would)

Exactly Adion.
What Richmond is failing to recognise here (deliberately or otherwise) is that the VDJ waveform displays are not supposed to be emulating a piece of vinyl on a turntable.
If they were, would the ideal representation not be circular? And there wouldn't be a waveform at all, because while we're splitting hairs here, vinyl doesn't have a waveform.
Cuircular, spinning clockwise, no waveform....... Oh hang on, it's called a jogwheel.

And yet you ARE saying - very loudly. Proudly stating that you know better than the rest of us dimwits who haven't worked it out yet due to lack of brain power.
No the waves are not representative of the platters or the turntables. They're representing the music.
You really think those are backwards too?
The rhythmwave is also a position indicator.
So you're saying that almost every VDJ user here is wrong, plus all the DAW software manufacturers and their employees, all the DJ software manufacturers and their employees, all the audio editing software manufacturers and their employees, PLUS all the millions of people who use DAWs, audio editing software and DJ software on a daily basis? All those companies and people are wrong. They've ALL got it backwards?
