What? and no hint as to whats wrong with the current engine!?

Not to mention how much it would cost to re-write the entire software from scratch, and perhaps a wait of anything up to 12 months or more. Software is not like writing a childrens storybook, it takes month to years to write something as complex as VDJ.
 
I'm not sure what Phil It is talking about, but myself, even with really high end professional audio interfaces running on fast, new dual core based systems I can't get rid of crackling and popping and such... it's really irritating. Usually it's only subtle and most people in a noisy nightclub wouldn't hear it, but I'd never want to record a set and release it on CD or something... yuck. Streaming radio too sounds bad enough that I don't want to go there until the problems are fixed.

Am I the only one? I seem to notice this on most of the computers I run VDJ on, but there's only one I actually use for live performing and I just can't get it smooth no matter how I configure the audio interface or Virtual DJs performance settings, etc.
 
are you on vista? I had those Issues on vista, but a quick re-install of xp fixed that....

I can run VDJ on a PIII laptop with no sound issues.. regardless of your system, if you're getting pops and crackles, you've got a driver or setting amiss...

can you give us more info?
 
I don't have any sound problems at all in VISTA, couldn't be better in fact.

In terms of the engine I'd say it's pretty solid, not the very best, but very good.
 
no problems in xp or vista either. have you dual tested it on other machines?

dont see anything wrong with the engine, but it'd be nice if it supported 24bit recordings..
 
I have no problems with sound. in XP (home machine) or vista (performance machine)
 
its a shame...and to say that the whole sound engine was changed back in 4.0 and was a major update as well as much better quality of sound

Well I think it is the best! Of all the software I tried when I went looking for new DJ software, VDJ was the best of all of the ones i tried, I will admit it's not perfect, but none are! Compared to everything else thats available, it's the best there is.

Microsoft Windows ain't perfect either, but it's pretty darn good, and millions use it, most without any issues.
 

"A New Sound Engine From VDJ,"

Why fix something when it's not broken.

many of the orther dj software out there don't have all the things vdj got but there sound always blow vdj out!,i'll not rest untill they do away with this sound engine.and 80% of the time it has nothing to do with the guys pc just take a song and play it in orther dj software see what happen.we need full asio support
 
full asio support means what exactly? there is asio support.

anyhow, unless you can actually make an argument for this, you have absolutley no basis for what you have said. i could walk into a bank and say 'the manager said i can have 5 million' but do you think theyll take my word for it?
 
Phil,

the whole VDJ software was re-written back at 4.0 due to bad sound issues. at the moment we are currently using one of the widely used sound engines that is also used in many other competitor software. not sure how your sound can get better using different software when the top end software uses the same engine as VDJ.

as far as full ASIO support. this is already supported and VDJ works with a multitude of different soundcards. name me another software that does this much and also does video with a built in sampler and also supports VST plugins.

if your having trouble why not post what issues you are currently having? there are good chances that it might be a setting in your VDJ options.\\\\

Best Regards

I think I know what he's talking about.

VDJ Plays the sound as it's soposed to sound, it plays it FLAT (when you haven't adjusted the internal EQ), where as some programs (traktor)ENHANCE the sound, I say enhance but it doesn't make it any better, it's just using a preset to sound a bit more punchy, personally I prefer VDJ as it plays the song as it was mastered, and most clubs have everything preset at 'their' end.
 
interesting guess bagpuss. if thats the case then i question how he came up with 'replace the sound engine'. as a matter of post production you could use loads of vsts on the channel itself. but in truth, 'post-production' is exactly post production for that reason. in a professionally run club, all treatment is dont post-master and by a qualified engineer. but there is validity to the request then to have a master channel affection where vsts could be run to treat master output. you'd need some serious cpu power though.
 
ENHANCE! most of the orther software play the music flat also and still sound batter,it's not about crackling and popping i'm talking.ok put on the asio in and see how bad it sound. we are currently using one of the widely used sound engines that is also used in many other competitor software. not sure how your sound can get better using different software when the top end software uses the same engine as VDJ.hell no! i'm in this too long 30 years and i know what sound good or bad.
 
sorry to hear that. could be hardware, could be software, could be o/s. however you are among few people with this problem and many more of us with no problem at all. dont assume it's the software's fault.

if this really bothers you, buy serato and you dont have to worry since the hardware and software are qualified together. IMHO vdj isnt really geared for people who dont know the basics of how the hardware works or how to select the right hardware or properly setup their machine.
 
Also take into account all the thing VDJ has to do with it's sound before it's sent to your soundcard, and it has to do it live (on the fly) You can't expect to manipulate something to the extreme, and not get a little change in colour.

Yes but he's comparing it to other software. Whilst his issue is unfounded I'm interested in getting to the bottom of it.

What soundcard are you using? (sorry if I missed it)

You haven't missed anything because he hasn't said anything other than (in terms of the "sound engine") VDJ = Bad, Others = Good.

I'm running VirtualDJ in vista ultimate on my MacBook Pro and don't have any sound issues. Nor did I have any issues when running VirtualDJ in windows xp beforehand. Also, I have no complaints soundwise with VirtualDJ running in Mac OS X.
