Tribe XR | DJ Academy News

0.10.6 Release Notes:

* Added new Drum Machine which lets you play and program drum sequences to add to your mixes. This is an early version with more improvements planned!

* Added the 5 Day DJ Challenge, a free lesson pack that will take you from nothing to performing your first complete mix over five sets of lessons.

* New "quantize jump immediately" Equipment setting will make quantized hot cues trigger immediately with an offset to stay on beat, instead of waiting for the beat to jump to the hot cue.
* New "Hide grab spheres" Input setting optionally hides the blue spheres on your hands, if you're comfortable grabbing controls without them and prefer a cleaner look.

* Misc bug fixes

0.10.5 Release Notes:

Tribe has transitioned to a subscription payment with a 7 day free trial, and a basic free tier if you choose to cancel your subscription. Subscribing provides complete access to everything in Tribe. This includes new content previously unavailable on Steam, including the Acid Synth, Vinyl Decks, video call hosting, new environments, and any future content.

If you previously purchased Tribe, don't worry: you still have access to everything you paid for plus more and there's no need to subscribe. Start Tribe to see what's waiting for you.

Free tier allows:
* Play the starting tutorial to learn the basics of DJing
* Use Tribe's basic starter decks in solo freeplay, mix up to 5 tracks
* Join multiplayer rooms hosted by subscribers, where you can listen or DJ back to back with any equipment they allow, mix unlimited tracks
* Join video calls hosted by subscribers

0.10.4.1 Release Notes:

* New simplified main menu that focuses on lessons and social features, legacy menus deprecated. We welcome any feedback as we expect to make more improvements.
* Desktop Mode (beta) - Lets you use Tribe with a mouse and keyboard. Used by default if no HMD is connected on launch or using launch option -nohmd. This is a beta, so expect bugs and rough edges! Lessons and multiplayer are not yet fully supported, I recommend you only try desktop mode in solo freeplay for now. More improvements to come, let us know what you'd like to see.
* With quantize enabled, hot cues now trigger on beat after being pressed (previously only quantized the position when setting the hot cue).
* Space and dub echo color FX now continue to echo post fader (matches real equipment).
* Many bug fixes

Desktop Controls:
* WASD or arrow keys to move camera, zoom with mouse wheel
* Move mouse to move hand, grab controls with left click, reset with right click
* Toggle main menu with Q and music menu with E
* Press O to toggle between VR and desktop mode

0.10.3 Release Notes:

* Auto-Camera - Make your Video Calls and Twitch streams more dynamic with cinematic camera movements and cuts on right on beat, using the master track’s beatgrid for timing.

* New Deck Menu - Use this new menu to load your music, change equipment, create recordings and tweak your visuals, all conveniently located directly above the mixer. (Old menus can still be accessed, go to Settings > Input and enable legacy menus).

* Continuous Movement in Game Mode - Want to enjoy Game Mode with more realistic controls? Unchecking the 1-click option enables you to have full control of knobs and faders while trying to beat your high score.

* Game Mode inside Video Calls - Game Mode lessons now function inside of our daily workshops, letting our mentors guide you through these pre-recorded exercises without having to leave the call

* Deck Control visuals in Game Mode - Added extra visuals to emphasize button presses, fader movement and knob twists.

* Multiplayer Cross-Play with Oculus - You can now join public rooms hosted by DJs on Oculus, and they can join you.

* Create your DJ profile - Maintain your presence on http://live.tribexr.com/ with links and bio, and connect it to your Steam account.

0.10.2 Release Notes:

* Added Dropbox integration. Sign into Drobbox in the Music menu to browse your tracks stored there locally or in the cloud.
* Added a recording menu to record and save your mixes (records the master output). Recordings are saved to your Music/TribeRecordings folder and can be loaded to decks from there as well.
* Added POV spectator camera selectable in the Visuals menu or by pressing 6 on your keyboard. Useful for streaming your first person perspective in video calls.
* Added free Hotel Selina environment
* Added interactive gamified starter lessons
* Many audio mixing improvements and bug fixes
