I ran into a 2nd issue, trying to get the mic to work with the timecodes while recording. Is there a config for it? The one I used for VDJ7 was perfect, but gives me such a echo or delay for #8

Hi, What i can say for my side , after a few updates VDJ8 is ROCK SOLID for me !! :)
working with an SL1 box 2x Pioneer CDJ 1000 mk2 , DDM 4000 Behringer, SURE SM 58 as MIC. (serato/VDJ timecode CDs "same")
I record mic input .. scratch my voice ,record videos... everything perfect...my latency is (automatic 256), scratch filter quality : 8 (i think that's what i changed and it works fine!)

Auto-headphones vs Timecode users.
If you are a timecode user, most likely you like to keep things simple.
Take my advice and change the Auto Headphone setting to "On Load".
With this setting, the auto change is not disabled, but it only change when you load a new song to a deck, so this deck become the selected deck.
With a 2 deck skin, the selected deck is also the PFL deck, so you never have to press a button, you are listening the working deck (next song),
And most important, it does not change depending on what platter you touch or scratch or anything like that.
Simple solution and effective.
As you can see, Timecode setup is almost plug and play now, not much setting you can adjust. It calibrates the input signal automatically
For a more natural scratch sound Pitch Quality should be set to 1. This is the most important setting.
Disabling Master Tempo also helps for a closer to vinyl scratch sound.
We will look at this issue.

About the auto Headphones
Nothing is really changed in version 8 about that. The only change we have is in the skin, which offers now PFL buttons in the mixer instead of SELECT (we had in version 7)
How does it work...
If you are using the PFL buttons on the skin, then bye-bye Auto Headphones. You simply override the auto-selection and you will hear in your headphones whatever deck you select with the PFL buttons.
If instead of the PFL button you use the Select A and B buttons on the top edges, then all good. The auto Headphones will work (if of course enabled from settigns)
How to get back autoHeadphones if PFL is used.... Simply make sure that only the PFL of the selected deck is ON and from that moment the autoheadphones will work if of course you use the select A and B buttons
The reason we replaced the PFL buttons on the skin with pfl actions instead of select, is that we had many users (especially with LE versions and controllers) who would want to have a manual way to select the pre-listened deck, and of course have both decks on headphones if needed.
Hope that this makes sense.

Well... maybe we're talking about different things.
What I mean is this:
When I moved a vinyl in 7.4 and earlier, the corresponding wave automatically came to foreground and the deck did whatever the ACTIVE deck was supposed to do (i.e. jump to a hotcue, as in "goto_cue 1"). This is what I miss in 8.
autoHeadphones "always" works for me as "onload" - deck-select-wise. I don't know about actual Headphones, because I use a common timecode setting (just timecodes and decks in my audio settings), but the vinyl movement does NOT have any influence on which deck is set to active.
When I first installed 8, I never fumbled with any PFL settings, but it did not work the way I was used to - which is why I came across this issue in the first place.
Also - still nothing about the end-of-timecode-stop-problem.
Should I contact support directly about this? Is it only me?

YAAAAY! Thanks Atomics! =)
From my watch, there are some things to go in order to have the smart mode as convenient as I liked it in the former versions:
- Playback should continue when the VDJ vinyl runs out.
- After switching TC off in order to clean a needle, the track should not skip when TC is turned on, again.
- Tracks should start at the beginning, regardless of the needle position.
Oh, and one more question: Sometimes tracks are loaded in a weird way, as it seems also influenced by the timecode - does anyone else get this am I doing something wrong?
Same file, different parts shown:

the fragment is probably just busy pc, and vdj waits to fill up to the pc is more ready for it.. It fills up eventually right?
Timecode running out in smart mode and not having that stop the song, should be fixed in the latest update.

- Nope, just stays that way (at the event the pic shows even when loading another track and then reloading the fragmented one - had to restart VDJ, or at least did not find another solution for that). If you look closely, it's the last part of the file copied to the front with a big gap in between.

- That'd be great, that was THE major issue for me.

Mac mid 2012, i5, 4gb Mavericks..
Using a maya 44..
The timecode is super laggy.. Embarrassingly laggy.. I can move the record and it responds 3 seconds later.
I also have an sl1 but I think this is not compatible with vdj 8 on the Mac side...

anybody know how to adjust the lead time so when u scratch from the beginning of the track the timecode, ensure that the start of your MP3 matches a position on your timecode from the start. In vdj 8 don't know how to do it .HELP

Basically the volume is too low which makes vd8 timecodes super laggy.
I tested in vdj 7 and had much better responsiveness because their is adjustable controls such as gain knob in the timecode settings..
As is, with this huge timecode flaw, vdj8 is not ready for final release..

The same carts as you..
But like I said, I also tested on the same machine with vdj 7 and it works better than in vdj8..
I may post a vid here when I get sometime..
