Rude - no to say what you posted is wrong, but Virtual DJ also has their own timecode CDs. I don't think they'd necessarily appreciate you selling forum members on the competition's products...

Isn't Virtual Vinyl a Numark product? I don't think there are actual Atomix branded timecodes for sale are there? I know that you can download them in the plug-ins section free and then burn them to disk, but an interface is what is needed. I'm not the only one mentioning Serato or Numark products here and I don't think anyone has a problem with my mentioning it. The point is the inquiring person wants to use VDJ with a controller that is unable to be connected to a computer so timecode is the only solution. I merely pointed out a couple of options without being biased one way or the other.

You know that I'm a loyal VDJ user, I would never try to lure anyone away from a product I enjoy as much as I do VDJ. C'mon now Pulse!!

To Atomix: If I have violated forum policy then I apologize!

Yes Numark's Cue is a rebrand of VDJ, but I'm sure they'd rather sell direct (and likely get a better share of the profit) than to sell under the other guy's name. ;)
 
Rude you are correct in the user needing a soundcard for inputs ... yes it can be the VirtualVinyl product or either of the Rane SSL products - SL1 or SL3 ... but users are not limited to those options. There are several quality 4 IN / 4 OUT soundcard solutions out there ... the NEW Hercules Trim, M-Audio Audio8, Maya 44USB, and several others - some of which are controllers as well like the Hercules RMX and MK2.

So, the real answer to using CDJ-1000s with VirtualDJ is that you need a 4 IN / 4 OUT sound card solution and a Timecode signal CD - downloaded from our site or the control CDs supplied with the 2 products you mentioned.
 
i have two pioneer MK3's that i will connect with a maya 44 usb to a windows xp laptop.


what drivers from pioneer do i need for my pioneer 1000mk3's and where do i get them?
 
Hi,

im new to this whole thing and i need some pointers if possible

- my friend has virtual dj
- him and i have been just using mp3's on the computer and mouse/keyboard to do very amateur mixing on the laptop (i know, its nothing lol)
- it would be safe to say, we have no dj equipment except some headphones and a laptop
- we want to go halves on buying some real dj gear, but as we are uni students we're trying to limit our costs as much as possible but would like to get good mid-high range gear

im not sure what exactly i would need though? please explain in detail because im quite confused :(

we are going to purchase a pioneer djm-800 mixer, for effects mainly

in terms of the cdj's, do we need them if we want to just manipulate the output of the laptop using the djm-800?
it would cut alot of cost, seeing as we havent really mastered loops/cues etc to warrant buying decks yet.

if i was to buy just the djm-800, would i need a soundcard or something to connect through the laptop? and speaker wise; from what i understand if i dont have an amp i can run a pair of active PA speakers from my mixer?

if i do need a soundcard, how many input/output etc would i need if i just want to play music on the laptop, and pretty much use the 800 as a midi controller; so i can use the effects on the controller with the music from the laptop; and drag tracks onto the software decks.

sorry for all the questions it must be frustrating having to answer such stupid ones :P

would appreciate it heaps if you could help me though i really wanna start getting into this! :)

also, our budget is around AUD$5000. the speakers we are getting are around 600-700 each, and they are active speakers (not sure if that is relavent). the djm-800 seems to be the choice of mixer, even though we only need a 2 channel mixer, the effects and stuff are probably worth paying for over the djm-400 so we are gonna get that too

thanks so much,
Aaron

Really? you must not of read the post above ... there are NO DRIVERS for CD players ... they are CD players nothing more ...
 
Does anyone know how to run the MEP 7000 CD Disk while using VDJ 6? when I try to place a CD inside the MEP, it does not play through the computer. I tested Serato and it had a buttom named "Thru" and when clicking on it, it allowed the MEP music to play through the computer. With VDJ 6. I dont seem to be able to do that.


Any suggestions?
 
 
DJ JAMM,

I've been following this thread for a while. Downloaded the trial for version 5.x & recently got the trial for 6 as well. I unfortunately share your experiences and frustration with the CDJ 400s & VDJ. I didn't want to buy Serato but I had to because of the scratch/platter issue with VDJ. Is the fix you mentioned still working well for u? Can u scratch at will & w/o problems during sets?

I like VDJ's software and options a lot over Serato. More importantly, I LOVE the sound from the CDJ 400 soundcards. The sound quality of the Serato SL-1 absolutely SUCKS compared to the CDJs. But I have to be able to scratch effortlessly. SO, do you think it would be worth buying VDJ 6 and implementing the above fix or should I wait until VDJ "officially" supports the 400s?

This is so frustrating cuz I'm digusted at the sound quality of Serato but I can't live without the flawless scratching it provides. Arrgh.....what to do!!?

Anyone else (including Pioneer & Atomix reps) please feel free to chime in. Thanks for everyone's thoughts & help.

Yeah ... next time don't copy paste someone's post ... just ask your question.
 
hy everyone, is there a fix or a way to swap the cdj400 left/right player position on vdj 6 like the vdj 5 had. everytime i turn the equipment on it switches my playar 1 and 2 positions. last light there was a guest dj using the players with cd and when switch back do vdj it automatically inverted the players so I ended the night playing inverted (pretty stressing).
 
that would suck

Unless you are unplugging your USB cables after using VDJ and then plugging them back in differently I don't see why else that would happen. Are you unplugging the cables and them putting them back in to use the CDJ-400s with VDJ? If you are doing this mark them and plug them in exactly the same way each time. Make sure your CDJ's are off when you plug and unplug them. Your computer won't know any better this way unless you rearrange the way you plug them in each time.

It can't be played "through" the computer. I have Serato also and the "through" feature doesn't mean it will play in your computer, it's bypassing the program and the computer and playing through your P.A. (amp & speakers) or powered speakers via the RCA connections to the mixer, in other words it is directly bypassing the computer, not playing through it at all. There is no way for your computer to accept the incoming music from a source outside of itself, at least not the way you're thinking. Even when using it as a timecode it still plays through the PA not the computer, a Virtual Vinyl or Serato box decodes the timecode signal but doesn't play anything.

When VDJ or Serato are in use they are using content from within the realm of itself E.G. internal or external hard drives, SD cards, thumb drives and even the DVD/CD ROM drive of the computer itself but not an outside CD/DVD drive such as the drive unit of your MEP.

The drive unit part of the MEP-7000 doesn't have anything to do with the USB connection coming from the head unit (SEP-7000). This is why you can disconnect the drive unit from the MEP and use the head unit by itself with a software program on the computer. Pioneer actually sells it this way and calls it the SEP-7000. The drive unit doesn't link to the computer via the head unit at all.

In order to play a CD on the MEP-7000 you must put it back in CD mode or USB mode to use it as a software controller.

it would be niceif there was still a way to use the jet roll and wah wile in midi mode does anyone no of any good effects that do the same?
 
FX buttons on CDJ-400 while controlling vdj

Guys, has anybody got to controll vdj effects from the cdj-400?

Looking at the map of the keys from the mappers menu I see that each FX button is assigned a function of "hotcue,sampler,effect". So far, I have managed to control the hot cues, from those buttons. Is there a "shift" key to activate the samplers and eefects from there?

BTW, great job mapping and programing vdj to work with the cdj-400. I'm just loving it.

Many things to address and this forum software doesn't make it easy so sorry if I miss something... here goes:

- Only the CDJ400 and MEP7000 are designed to work as controllers for VDJ. For all other Pioneer CD players you require a timecode CD in order to manipulate the software. No drivers will help you.

- Re: deck swapping, either physically switch them (haha) or just go into the config and hit the Swap button as afrog suggested.

- If you want to use a SHIFT function, try holding the HOLD button while pressing the effects buttons, if it's not pre-mapped that way you can manually map it yourself.

- kdee: If you don't feel v6 has adequate response, try using some of the modifications as suggested earlier in this thread for tweaking the timing of the controls.

- In order to play a CD from the MEP, you just pop a CD in and load it to the deck and play it through your mixer. There is no need to play it through the computer (that would require an extra input and additional software). Don't over-complicate things!

Or, just press the EJECT button as it is mapped to do this. Reading the mapper entries can tell you a lot about what the controller's buttons can and will do :)
