Most of us (the users) have different requirements of VDJ, if we understand the configuration aspects we can normally have VDJ setup to suit our varied requirements. It is an extremely versatile piece of software, which offers alot more possibilties than its competitors. I think some people need to appreciate exactly how ambitious VDJ is. Won't go into the pros and cons of all the other packageshere but I'm just so pleased with VDJ4. I know because I've got and tried most other packages including SSL. My mixes were smooth as silk too - I hardly used my headphones, just matched with the DAC-3 jogwheels and listened through the main PAįantastic program. The software never stumbled all night either. I played a set with some of my latest tracks I downloaded from Beatport as WAV files and the sound quality was absolutely immaculate. The most important improvement for me has got to be the sound quality. I used my mobile rig last night, with a DAC-3 and it worked seamlessly. If this had been available a lot of the user discontent and confusion could have been reduced and it would have been clear that it wasn't the software, just the users not reading the manual.īut the main thing as far as I'm concerned is that the program works fine for me. Not knocking the VDJ staff because I know they were under a lot of pressure to get the program out before the EXpo, but it is essential to have a manual for a DJ software package. That would have been helped by issuing a manual with the product. Anything that's gone wrong has been because of my misunderstanding of what something should do. I've got to say that I've not had any real problems with VDJ 4. I could find all my songs easily with my folder structure and VDJ search.Ħ) Sound quality in VDJ4 is almost the same as my Denon cd players, so I'm happy with it. I challenge you to write a post in the new features forum, with the exact description how you would like it to be. Just had 1 crash, caused by the crappy Hercules dj console mk1 drivers (driver version 1.0, later versions were improved and better).ĥ) Just your opinion. In the skin, only 1 decimal is displayed, but smaller steps are possible.Ĥ) Works stable for me from 2003 on. This sounds a little different.Ĭhanging the pitch is also in large steps by default, you could also change this yourself. You could also change the pitch_bend to nudge. I just lowered the value to a value I like, by expirimenting. My Pioneer mixer, which I use at home is more accurate as wellģ) Pitch nudge, is in the standard setup too high in my opinion, so I just changed the shortcut values (Config menu->Keyboard shortcuts tab). I don't know what sound card you use?Ģ) Agree, could be better. If I don't use time code I use my Maya in kernel mode, which has about 3ms latency. Geposted Sun 10 Sep 06 12:50 you have valid points, but I'm not agreeing with you on some of the points you are mentioning:ġ) Total Latency is caused by summing: sound card latency, Windows latency and music software latency (Like VDJ). Why you ask?.(1) latency too high, (2) bpm scan not nearly as accurate, (3) pitch nudge not fine enough, no way to get 2 decimal places on the bpm's or % of pitch increase/decrease, (4) not nearly as stable, (5) record case is horrible, (6) sound still a bit distorted and not as clear as PCDJ I have to be honest if it wasn't for the video capability I would never have bought it, audio only wise it has a LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLong way to go to be a realistic alternative to PCDJ FX. In the one club I originally bought it for it runs constanly playing videos from playlists from 11am 'til 2am in auto mode virtually unattended and it works fine (only had 3 crashes in last two weeks) and at the same club 2 nights a week with a DJ/VJ and it has only crashed twice in the same 3 weeks.I would like to try to use it 4 nights a week at the other club I DJ at (no video) but I get too many clicks and stutters on the music with the latency at 512 or 256 and latency at 1024 in my opinion is unacceptable. For the most part it works pretty well although the problems are different on each computer (except they all freeze the computer monitor when loading avi files, not so much with mpeg2). I have tried VDj 4.0 on 4 different computers.
