pro audio multi channel cards are usually not usb, because usb is known to have problems with multi channel audio streaming, so pci express is preferred for stability and also firewire is better and for the next years thunderbolt should be the new one.
For dj use, there is a limited number of audio channels to be used, so usb 2.0 is usually fine, but sometimes there are troubles with irq sharing, bad chipset etc.

hi Angel, yes mine is the old hercules mk2, but both mine and yours rmx 2 have the same control panel, so if you haven't done yet, first download the latest driver from here:
http://ts.hercules.com/it/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=17&fid=62&pid=308&cid=1
Then with virtual dj application closed, open the hercules control panel(the vinyl icon on the taskbar), it is set by default in wdm mode, switch it to asio mode, once done you can see that now there are settings for the samplerate, the bit depth and the asio buffer.
On my computer i have i7 2600k and can use a 1ms buffer with the console mk2, so try it if your computer have enough processing power, also set the bit depth to 24 bits.
Now open vdj 8 and go to audio settings.
Don't use the default hercules setup.
Delete every hercules entry and manually add a new source for every channel.
For example, source> deck 1> soundCard> hercules rmx2(asio)> Channel> Out 1 L&R (don't know how the channels are named on the rmx 2).
For timecode input, use something like this:
Source> timecode 1> SoundCard> hercules rmx2(asio)> Channel> input 1&2 etc.
If you get glitches when playing audio, try increasing the asio buffer from the hercules control panel(always close vdj before changing asio settings).
Hope that helps

Hi Angelo, i see that you are sharing timecode and line inputs, i don't think this is the problem, but have you tried to disable some inputs/outputs, for example, try disabling some functionality on the hercules, such as jog wheels to see if there is a conflict between timecode and jog wheels on the same deck, then try to enable just one timecode and use just the master output, to see if minimizing the number of audio streams is better.
This is just for testing and for developers.

Laptops are equipped with the equivalent in a smaller factor which is called express card, for example my xite-1 is rack mountable and is connected to the pci express slot over a an adapter, so that it's possible to use it with a laptop too using the express card slot.
The express card slot can also be used to add a firewire port on a laptop and then use a firewire card and also can be used to add a dedicated usb port for better performance without sharing the usb bandwidth with other devices....

I am using and external mixer that why i have it on line input hercules is just the soundcard and i try it both ways .it work good when i just have the controller on but when i but it on timecode the scratching is not to good especially in the beginning of the track it start to fast.And it get me off beat to and it skips on some songs not all.But most of them when i scratch .
OK i just try disabling some functionality on the hercules, such as jog wheels to see if there is a conflict between timecode and jog wheels on the same deck .And i still having the same problem it has to be a software issue.but thanks

I don't know of any modern laptop that comes with an express card slot, mine doesn't have a express card slot, these are just work around and I just want it to work like on traktor when I plug my USB sound card in it just works

Express card is still used, you buy what you need, i have a laptop with both firewire and express card, it's not a matter of modernity, because usb is older than pci-e, it's just marketing.
I agree with you, vdj 8 vs timecode vs some usb devices need a fix.

it's for sure a software issue :)
Have you tried with the hercules on another computer and/or using windows 7?

Thanks for the tips but the problem is definitely with the software, what you are doing is applying band aid to a wound that needs stitching. No matter of changing latency or sample rate will stop the software from doing skips and jumps. I used the same settings in traktor and VDJ 7.4.1 and it worked flawlessly. The devs know their is a problem with the time code engine it's just a matter of when will they fix it. I'm using maya 44 sound card and looking to purchase another soundcard, any recommendations on affordable but reliable 4 in 4 out soundcards?

You should look the the audio 8, audio 10, SL2, SL3 - because they a proven track record among Dj's - and they sound great. There are deals on ebay all the time.

I just try out your setting i am still having the same problem in the beginning of the tracks when i scratch from the beginning it start to fast and on some tracks it skips from the beginning it has to be a software issue but past the beginning of the track it better on scratching but on some track the wave form drift a little on me when i scratch that cause it to skip sometime.
I am using for my soundcard is HERCULES RMX 2 SO I ACTUALLY can not but my latency to the 1 u posted LATENCY : automatic (11ms/441 in asio panel) but i try everything still the same problem.BUT thank on trying to help but believe me i been trying everything to see if i could fix the problem day and night nothing still come up with the same problem .So it is a most def a software issue.
