I knew it was so .. FadeToBlack my problem was, now works with the corossfader for the video part and the sliders for the audio, you can not set the AUTO LINK. I can also do so, perhaps that is better, but I wish I could choose ....

Thanks

OK I found a bug using the VMS4 with VDJ 7.0.1. May not just be with the VMS4.

I had deck 2 playing and hitting the cue button on deck one as a stutter. It was making deck 2 pause for a second the more I hit it.

Can anyone else recreate what I'm experiencing?

I try to find the best way to record with VMS4.

What i've done..
Advanced Config.
Deck 1 ..ASIO.. 3&4
Deck 2 ..ASIO .. 5&6
Deck 3 .. ASIO .. 7&8
RecordLoopback ..ASIO .. Inputs 1&2

I connected with RCA the Booth output and the Ch1&2 line inputs in VMS4. 8out mode. This way i can record properly using mics too. Since VMS4 is an analoque external mixer, i can not find another way.

Am i doing the right thing, or is there another way too?

help !!

how can get led "on" or "off" on hot_cue4 button ?

i made this change :

jog :
wheel_mode "browser" ? device_side left ? browser_window "folders,folders" & jogwheel : browser_window "songs,songs" & jogwheel : touchwheel

hot_cue4 :
wheel_mode "browser" ? deck left wheel_mode "jog" & deck right wheel_mode "jog" : deck left wheel_mode "browser" & deck right wheel_mode "browser"


with hotcue4 button i change between jog and search with the jogwheel (and works great, but i dont know when i have jog or browser selected)

i would like to have a led (hotcue4) "on" when browser is selected, and led (hotcue4) "off" when jog is selected

is posible ?

thanks

If you want it to light red..
map the LED_HOT_CUE4 as ..
wheel_mode "browser" ? on : off
and the LED_HOT_CUE8 as
off

If you want it to light purple ...
map the LED_HOT_CUE4 as ..
off
and the LED_HOT_CUE8 as
wheel_mode "browser" ? on : off

This is what I do and is the correct way. The only change I have to your config is that I have the sampler mapped to outputs 7&8. This is because I am broadcasting rather than recording, but it's the same principle.

Works really well.

Issue 1 has been known about since day 1 and AA do not have a solution. If it is no good for you then return the unit as there is no fix for this.

Isdue 2 can you explain more, is it a problem with volume or cueing channels?

@fer14. I tried in my VMS4 and this way it works for me

JOG 

wheel_mode "browser" ? device_side left ? browser_window "folders,folders" & jogwheel : browser_window "songs,songs" & jogwheel : touchwheel


HOT_CUE4 :

wheel_mode "browser" ? deck left wheel_mode "jog" & deck right wheel_mode "jog" : deck left wheel_mode "browser" & deck right wheel_mode "browser"


LED_HOT_CUE4

wheel_mode "browser"


Try it.

I'm still in 2 minds about getting an external soundcard 2 better the sound quality of the sound from my vms4 was lookin at the Maya 44, does this improve the sound that much?? N was thinking about getting an FireWire 1 can anyone reconned me a good one?

Cheers


i am using the Presonus firebox with the vci-100 right now and was thinking of giving the vms4 a try but wanted to continue to use my firebox for sound, does the vms4 still work well using a different sound card?

You can use the VMS4 purely as a midi controller and route the sound to a better quality card if you wish.

Sort of defeats the purpose of having an all in one however the VMS4 output is low and distorts if pushed.
