Delay in Time/DVS System Set Up

The delay is because of the two different methods of control used here: the DDJ SR is sending midi signals to directly tell the software where to move the pitch control to. The use of the Rane box and club hardware suggests you are using timecode; using this the software is “listening” to the time code and processes the adjustment of the pitch control by listening to the actual audio pitch changes of the timecode to adjust the tempo of the playing track. Virtual DJ has options allowing you to adjust the sensitivity settings for a quicker response but at the expense of accuracy, I’m not sure if Serato has similar settings such as these. If you’re using newer CDJs like 2000s or sooner, see if your version of your software supports HID mode- then you can use the CDJs as controllers. Hope that helps…

I think Grant may on to something 🙂 . I just got a used Rane SL1 to see if could use my laptop/CDJ-1000Kk3’s as a backup for my 2000 nexuses in case of an accident. Burning CD’s really doesn’t work in a crisis situation. I experienced just the same and it was like a fluent feeling, responsive but not, like I did the right adjustment to discover moments later it wasn’t enough or to much. Of course I had Master Tempo on and really didn’t think that could have an impact like that. Thanks for the tip, Grant. I’ll turn the Master Tempo off during adjustments and see what happens 🙂 .
