Never use pitch delay 0.00000
0.1000 was my settings at Bpm for a rapid pitch slider response but this is maybe an extreme setting.
Default is 0.5 so anything between 0.2 to 0.5 is a safer value. 0.2000 seems good so far to balance between speed and stability.

I'm not sure why but with timecode CD (TVC) at the beginning of the song it takes off really quick the pitch goes up and down.

I also use Timecode CD and don't experience this, you sure your signal and settings are correct?

Same thing happens to me and I'm using the specs Rune posted......and VDJ says I have a nice clean signal.
 

Posted Tue 23 Sep 14 @ 12:02 pm
Yes

signal settings are correct

I'm not happy right now with VDJ (I'm just a dj not a computer programmer) All I know is that timecode should work.
I don't like Traktor because of all the setting it has. Now I feel the same way about VDJ. This is getting to be full time job
just to get the program to work right when do I get to mix and have fun with it.........

Try mixing with your controller instead of time codes and tell me if the problem remains the same. I have a feeling the reasons why the songs wont remain synced is because of incorrect beat grid or wrong BPM being reported by the software.

This pitch issue seems to be a time code vinyl issue because i have no such issue using CDs....

Does the problem still exist when you use your NuMark vinyl??

You should post a video of what you mean by the pitch is off and the pitch is all over the place to better help the Team to understand your issue. Or even try a fresh reinstall if you haven't done so already.

I have zero issues with my sl3 sound card and Turntables regarding pitch. I have no pitch fluctuations beside the occasional
0.1 flutter - but is not enough to throw off a mix.

Example in vdj a song may have a BPM value of : 80.20 - now this may fluctuate between:
80.17 to 80.23 - but this is normal for turntables..

Now if the BPM is 80.20 and it is fluctuating between 83.XX to 77.XX - then you have a problem

In serato for you don't even see the decimal portion of the BPM

These are some of my settings, compare with yours and adjust where necessary to see if you can eliminate the problem.

Also try cleaning your needles if you haven't done so already..

I done everthing you said already but still the problem ,And also i move My settings one by one but nothing change!!!!
 

Posted Sun 28 Sep 14 @ 2:29 am
I tried some scratching last night in 1973.813 and both in smart and relative mode on some points in various file formats the position leaped through the track (VDJ TC in good condition, perfect signals).
Also - pleeeeeeease enable switching on TC without having the playback skipping. Every version before 8 did it perfectly well, Serato does it when switchng back from internal mode, only v8 skips and I need to clean my needles a lot when I work with smokers.

What information can I provide to help solving this?

I only have 1 bug with VDJ8 and that's the wave form sometimes not loading properly when auto cue is on. Wave form doesn't correspond with position of track on some songs
 

Posted Sun 28 Sep 14 @ 8:32 am
same pitchpfluctuations for me, upto 0.5 on the 1st track I tried, had it b4 but was fixed in one of the last builds, guess it's back to haunt us a bit :D
 

Posted Sun 28 Sep 14 @ 8:34 am
I get between +/-.04 pitch fluctuation, this isn't enough to put off a mix but i'm using CDs where wow and flutter is basically non existent
