I have the new upgrade, only just started using it tonight to see what had changed, now I have found that I cannot hear the track I want to cue, the Hercules controller isn't working as it was either. I have tried changing the soundcard settings in config, no joy there, I have also noticed that the crossfader doesn't stop you from hearing "the other track" even when it is completely closed, to stop myself from hearing it through the speakers I have to physically choose (ie highlight on the screen) the other track by pushing the headphone button on Hercules. Can someone give me some help here as everything worked fine before the upgrade so I am certain that this is the reason for the problems I am experiencing.

DJ Gigilo.

Config/setup/ Sound Card to HC - Output Channels ,,,Change the channels to the outputs for master and headphones…
Download the latest Mapper as well. Open in VDJ file/plug in/controller.

No, I think he's looking for the herc folder, IE to update his driver, not the mapper in the virtualdj folder.
I'd just download the latest driver from herc, and reinstall it to be sure you have the latest one.

c:/programs/Herc folder/ open folder for MK1 or MK2 . copy update drivers and open.. If your upgrading they recommend uninstalling old drivers first.
Anyone want to Buy a MK1?

i've looked in the folder you've just mentioned and for some reason there is only MKII information, have you got the web address for the herc site?

right, i have reinstalled the herc drivers and all is good there, i am still unable to listen to the track i want to cue though, i have noticed that the sound from the speakers gets louder when i select to listen to it (ie, when the light on the herc is selected for headphones to cue) i'm using a sound blaster 5.1 external soundcard (which worked fine before the upgrade), i am using the rear speakers as the master and the front as the headphone output, i still cannot figure out where i am going wrong or what has changed because as i said it was working perfectly...help me out!

hypateticaly
if you do have a 5.1 usb soundcard
and mp3 control
chose this
"inputs none"
output
headphones
soundcard
5.1
then assign a master and a prelisten channel
then on proformance choose
"autolatency"
that should get you running again :)

Skyfxl,,
What’s your thought on sound quality between the USB SB5.1 And The MK1 Sound Card?

pictured above
the mk1 is the first revision of the console series
it has
16 and 24-bit/48 KHz sampling, 24-bit ADC/DAC
5.1 audio channel output
Digital optical/coaxial In/Out
5.1 output with 1/8 jack (3.5mm) and cinch connectors
Stereo cinch line input
¼ jack (6.35mm) stereo microphone input
¼ jack (6.35mm) stereo headphone output
which then lead on to mp3 control and mk2
it is essentaly a 5.1 card in the controler
i belive you can have some sucess with timecode
i would recomend it if your looking for a cheap controler
but if your looking for a quality soundcard , the mk2 or a highquality 5.1+ card would be better :)

i don't have the MKI or the MKII i have the USB MP3 Controller and a 5.1 SB external soundcard, i am going to upgrade to the MKII i think cos from what i've heard everything is built in and that sounds more simple to use to me.
geposted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 7:26 pm
i have tried everything apart from choosing 5.1 in the config, i am unable to do this as it isn't one of the options given to me, i only have 4.1 as an option. is this where things are going wrong?
