I don’t use the crossfader to mix only for scratching, so I have it set to scratch, but you can code your own curve if you need to, what you are doing is telling vdj where the volume for the decks will be a position of the crossfader.
purple is the position of the crossfader
blue is the left decks volume
red is the right decks volume0=[1,0]
0.5=[1,1]
1=[0,1]this is a standard curve where both tracks are equal in the middle
crossfader_curve “0=[1,0]/0.5=[1,1]/1=[0,1]”
if you want a long curve that only max’s out at either end and dips slightly in the middle you could do something like this (personally i think if you are going to use the crossfader for ixing this is the best setting.
crossfader_curve “0=[1,0]/0.5=[0.9,0.9]/1=[0,1]”
or if you want a sharp cut you could use something like this
crossfader_curve “0=[1,0]/2.5=[1,1]/7.5=[1,1]/1=[0,1]”
and finally if you want a scratch cut you could use this
crossfader_curve “0=[1,0]/0.1=[1,1]/9.9=[1,1]/1=[0,1]”So in vdj you can have any crossfader curve that you like as there is no restrictions, but you need vdj pro to be able to map the curve, or you can just use the standard options in the config menu, the choice is yours.
Also with the regedit thing i posted you don’t actually need to use the “registry tool” from the vdj website, so everyone even LE users can have better performance from their scratching just like itch. Although I don’t have LE to test so I would be interested in hearing if it works.
just open it when vdj is closed, then change the default scratch latency to at or below 1020. if the op doesn’t have the tool, i think i can be done manually, I tried to find where to do it but unfortunately couldn’t find it, and beware changing the registry can kill your computer, not just the program but the whole operating system, so be extremely careful.

this is from the wiki
DefaultScratchLatency: (By default 2205 samples = 5ms)
Latency of the scratch.
If you get a value smaller than the audio buffer latency, it will use the audio buffer latency anyway.
So if you put 78 (or 1), it’s like putting 512 (or whatever your audio-buffers are).
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.
That’s why the default has to be kept big.EDIT ———————————————————————————–
actually I just googled where it is located and it’s incredibly easy to modify the registry values.
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
