Hello, I have an issue when trying to record anything in virtual dj, I'm using Numark DXM06, channels are connected to 4.1 soundcard and record channel is conneted my external USB sound card. Each time i get a very loud and distorted sound with "normal" sound in the background, I was trying to fix it by changing volume in the windows sound setting but no use, the distortion is still there but with lower volume, any thoughts?

I have exactly the same problem as yours. You're not alone!
Below is my case I shared in another thread this morning, hope our problem could be heard and solved.
Thanks

Just want to take part in this conversation and share some facts for further investigation to the problem. I have no answer.
I have similar but not exactly the same problem about distortion sound which borders me a lot now.
The distortion sound is in the recording and not too noticable during the same performance when live.
Some facts :
- The distortion sound is usually some time say, after 30 minutes after the recording started.
- One incident, one day I played a tracklist around 45 minutes (without rehearsal) and record it, later I play the same tracklist a second time (rehearsed) and record to another file.
The first file sounds clean without too noticable distortion sound problem while the second recording has distortion sound problem and the distortion sound is to a annoying level.
- I was using vdj 7.1, Windows XP on a Notebook, Numark N4 controller.
VDJ:
- I upgraded to vdj 7.4.1 (hoping the new sound engine may help), the problem still there but the distortion sound is less, new version helps a bit.
- An idea came into my mind that may be I should have close and open vdj or switch off and on the hardwares.
Windows OS :
- I tried to set higher priority for VDJ program in Windows XP settings does not help.
- I have suspected may be related to the cache memory in Window OS or Program (buffer)
Controller :
- During the past 10 years, I have used the following controllers, I encountered the same problem before.
-- Hercule DJ Console MK1 had same problem (Acer Tablet PC + Windows XP Tablet Edition)
-- Torq Xponent had NO such problem (Windows XP notebook)
-- Numark N4 has this problem (same Windows XP notebook, same vdj version and program)
- I suspected the hardware soundcard capability
- I suspected the hardware driver
...
Again, just want to participate in this conversation and give some facts for further thinking.
I asked for assistance in another thread but soon after people started arguing about not important things so I hesitated to continue there, here is my second chance to solve my problem.
My problem seems related to the problem discussing here.
Thanks for your time to read.

It sounds like you might be getting a Cue signal and the master on top of each other. Which version of VDJ are you using? If you are using the free home version your configuration options are limited. I think you can only have a simple L,R output , deck 1 to L and Deck 2 to R or master on One channel and Cue on the other.
The result could be that you are recording a flat out high level Cue signal on top of the normal Master output.
If you can provide some more information on what you are using and how you have things hooked up it would help :-D

The best solution (in my opinion) is to record onto external hardware, not the computer and not VDJ.
Use a device that's designed for recording and dedicated to that task.
Search Google for digital audio recorder.
