    do you mean you can already do that or you want to be able to do that? if you already can then that’s news to me, if you can’t it might be possible in the next version as you can color individual tracks in djdecks, but you should request it on the vdj forum where it will be heard by the people who can implement it.

    Haha I couldn’t resist, read into it what you will but it doesn’t change the fact that your a douchebag.

    Haha I couldn’t resist, read into it what you will but it doesn’t change the fact that your talking about something you know nothing about, and have not presented one valid argument other than what has been said a million times in the past, and now your turning to name calling to cover it up. Get some more knowledge and present a fresh perspective on the subject then we can continue.

    I think it’s just set so high because they are going for stability on a wider range of operating systems with bad specs over performance on a smaller variety of faster computers, and It would have been set to deal with pentium 4’s probably, so hopefully they move on lol.

    hey bro,

    to do the eq kill you just need to map in one variable on each of the pitch bend buttons,

    down
    master_tempo 1 ? kill_eq_low : pitch_bend -5% 500ms

    up
    master_tempo 1 ? kill_eq_mid : pitch_bend +5% 500ms

    for the other one it’s a little trickier as you need to create a variable when you push the encoder, then have that on the left/right…The filter is absolutely terrible in vdj, if your using a pc download the vst quadbyte filter, it’s free and absolutely pristine in sound quality. http://studio-qb.com/qb-filter.

    Now that you have a better filter map this to;

    push
    set ‘filter’ while_pressed & effect ‘qb_filter’ active while_pressed & effect ‘qb_filter’ slider 1 0% & effect ‘qb_filter’ slider 2 70% & effect ‘qb_filter’ slider 3 50%

    encoder
    var ‘filter’ ? effect ‘qb_filter’ slider 3

    if you don’t want to reset the filter everytime you press the encoder, just delete the red part… And I hope I understood you correctly with the action, I can change it to toggle on and off the filter if that’s better…

    To set the resonance use slider 4 in the effect page in the browser, there is also lfo control on sliders 5-12 if that’s your thing.

    I think I saw it in the teaser video, but they said almost all the registry values would be available, hopefully they lower it by default, but it’s easy enough to change.

    um… it’s a software eq… firmware probably isn’t going to fix it,

    If you use vdj pro the eq is terrible anyway but if you use pc you can install “minimal systems instruments – ultimate 3 band” vst, it destroys anything else in sound quality, but you need to disable it when you are scratching if you have a slower computer. I do it with mapping the jog touch sensor with this, it shuts off the effect when you touch the platter when vinyl mode is active.

    vinyl_mode 1 ? down ? effect "ultimate 3 band" active off & touchwheel_touch 1 : touchwheel_touch 0 & effect "ultimate 3 band" active on : touchwheel_touch

    This is copied from my original post here on ddjt, just reformatted a little 😉

    it’s incredibly easy to modify the registry values, just be careful as there is no safety if you mess something up.

    this is from the wiki
    [INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
    [INDENT=1]

    DefaultScratchLatency: (By default 2205 samples = 5ms)

    [/INDENT]

    [INDENT=1]Latency of the scratch.[/INDENT]
    [INDENT=1]If you get a value smaller than the audio buffer latency, it will use the audio buffer latency anyway.[/INDENT]
    [INDENT=1]So if you put 78 (or 1), it’s like putting 512 (or whatever your audio-buffers are).[/INDENT]
    [INDENT=1]But to keep a “good” sound, the DefaultScratchLatency is supposed to be kept bigger than 2 times the maximum delay between two MIDI (or HID or mouse) messages.[/INDENT]
    [INDENT=1]That’s why the default has to be kept big.[/INDENT]

    [INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
    [INDENT=1] [/INDENT]

    ———————————————————————————–

    just open the start menu, then type “regedit” in the search box…

    then once you okay the security, you need to open the filepath to virtual dj, shown down the bottom of the image. when you locate DefaultscratchLatency double click it


    then finally when you have double clicked it will open a window, first change the value to decimal, then enter the latency you desire. mine is actually set to 960, this is just to show you guys what was recommended by cstoll

    this was done on a 32bit windows 7 starter netbook, i can’t imagine it would be any different on any other windows OS

    My point is that it’s the stigma associated with vdj that stops people from unlocking it’s true potential, but company’s promoting traktor is good for business as you need computer skills to modify anything… Personally I think traktor is much more suited to noobs and vdj is for people that want to really shape their “workflow” ableton style but with the transport ease of dj software. Saying that traktor “just works” is not a valid argument in the world of controllerism as the idea is you push the boundaries of what’s possible with traditional methods of djing… traktor can’t natively do this, you have to introduce third party software to do it so as said it’s closed to computer nerds who understand what they are doing, and the lay user has to rely on their generosity to get these features… vdj doesn’t have this problem as anyone with a couple of days of learning can get a good grasp of vdjscript and start customizing their “workflow”

    finally on “workflow” in vdj you have pannels in skins to show or hide features, my skin has about 300 of them, but djdecks takes that one step further and allows dockable floating pannels, so you can reshape your interface like what has been displayed in “the one” all it takes is someone skinning it and i will certainly start trying when I finally get my hands on the beta release so it’s ready for version 8 as close to the public release day as possible.

    And can I ask if you personally have mapped anything complex in traktor or vdj? I have done it in both and vdj is much easier and more powerful, there is literally nothing that djtt have released that I cant make vdj do, but the same can’t be said in reverse, there is a lot that djtt have released that you simply cant replicate in traktor without their firmware or middleware like zestoi’s midimasher app/bomes etc…

    I also don’t buy that more functions is a negative at all, it just means you have more control… using it I made vdj do this

    I disagree… the loops are the same, cues not only have more options but you have 99 of them Vs traktors 8, grids are grids they both do the same thing and both get the start position wrong on modern bass music, this is because the bass drum is quieter and higher in frequency than traditional productions and to compensate the snare is louder and lower hence the software confuses the two… so with any of them you need to correct this, vdj makes it easy allowing you to jump the cbg in quantized steps of freely move it just like traktor using it’s own popout window or vdjscript.

    the interface while cheap looking is far from messy, if anything it is sparse… but you can use and customize skins in vdj… this is mine I’m making for going to release for VDJ8, but still waiting to see what new features we will get, but in VDJ7 all of this works as well as being able to independently color the cue point buttons… although at almost 30,000 lines of code it’s best to wait until I know what features will be skinable in version 8.

    I should mention regarding the colors the contrast isn’t as high, it just compounds when you shrink the image

    you can’t use the ns6 in traktor… you can in vdj, and I put up a mapping for the midifighter classic on djtt, but no one ever gave me any useful feedback to know if it works or not (i don’t have one but the mapping works great on my icon istage)

    the same unwritten rules don’t apply to producers, they make the stuff that makes everyone move… if they want they can do something regular dj can’t do, which is modify the track live, if they wan’t a section enlargened or shorter ableton makes it very easy to do, they can also tweek synths and effects live which brings a whole new level of performance… It sounds like the perfect solution to play your songs with well known songs short of bridging serato, rewiring your daw into vdj or torq or hacking in traktor using jack and the midi clock.

    If I produced that is what I would do and stay busy, but I have never been able to make something I’m happy with so prefer to keep my ears tuned in to the mix and myself busy with beatmatching. For me sync takes a lot of the fun out of it and i guess it’s like smoking I like to keep my hands and mind busy.

    look up “touch osc” and “lemur for iOS” they are both virtual midi devices for iOS, lemur is on a whole ‘nother level though

    how about some kind of application usb stick intigration. so you can use your iphone as a browser

    It would make it so you can connect to the usb sticks via blutooth then by selecting a song to play next with your iphone you reorder the tracks inside the appropriate usb stick so the next track when you choose with the cdj will be the one you chose with your iphone.. the good thing about this is you could search on your iphone using additional metadata like bpm, key, comment that isn’t available to older generation technology like cdj1000’s ndx8000 rmp3000 etc… and would really make these devices much more user friendly allowing them to be used for longer inspite of newer technologies becoming available.

    Beyond an application like this intigrated with hardware or even software I can’t see much use for an iphone in the booth that will actually be useful, anything you use the microphone for will have too much distortian and/or background noise to operate properly in a loud club environment.

    Although maybe you could look into creating a bluetooth network in a venue that can send requests to mobile jocks easily.. just make a really small app that the audiance can download in a couple of seconds to make a request.
