Have posted this in General and PC forum, but no answer...
How do i bypass my TCCDs and use my cdjs with regular cds without re-wiring my whole setup? Im using VDJ with 2 cdjs, a djm800, and my mk2.
Thanks for any feedback at all!!

with the mk2 dj console you can just play cds if you choose external input mode by pressing the selector buttons

Thanks for the reply skyxfl, but can u clarify this for me? Does this mean if i am mid-gig, all i have to do is press the selector buttons even if VDJ is configured for timecode inputs?

dont think that will work, as Hercules are already listening to line-ins... and thats connected to VDJ (PC) and not external mixer.
What would work are Y-cable splitter.

if it works for vinyls it will work for cds too ;)
Never tried Herc for bypass, but by what Sky is saying, I guess it does have real bypass
+1 for herc;)

So I tried pressing the audio source buttons, and while i did achieve what i was trying to do, the sound from regular CD however, suffered quite noticably. It seems as if when passed through the Hercules, the original sound quality gets lost, especially in the low end of the tune where it becomes all distorted. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem with vinyls or if it something unique to TCCDs or just something I have done wrong myself...

what settings do you have on the mk2 console software

ASIO mode - 44100Hz sample rate, 16 - bit sample size, 1764 buffer size, and using an external mixer. i belive this is the recommended setup for the use of timecodes.

I might be wrong, but I doubt Hercules console will give good bypass sound.

I was under the impression that mk2 was a quality soundcard (it sure as hell is a kwerality controller :)) Anyways how do i boost the sound qual. of TCCDs? this would be a clutch feature for me as I am a multi-platform dj. I love this friggin program to death and all i need to be complete is a good bypasss mode to use reg CDs. Help!!!
P.S. - Shot in the dark but if i use the external power source the MK2, would this help with my dilemma?

Bypass like you have set it up, first goes through the Hercules as real bypass, then through software (VDJ) as software bypass... right?
My feel is that this will loose a lot of dynamics and crisp, making the sound a bit dull ..
Its better to use Y-Splitters, so that the bypass from Hercules goes straight to mixer, and not through your PC /software.

Norway is giving a simple cheap effective answer.
Use Y splitters, hook one set to the Hercules for timecode, one set to the mixer (oldschool) way and just hit your line select switch on your mixer.
Simple, cheap, effective.
