Hi all,
I have noticed a small issue when using VDJ8 with the Pioneer DJM900 soundcard.
Basically when I have it setup to 'External Mixer' and selected my 2 output channels it works fine, the only issue is the internal gain knobs on VDJ8 are disabled and I can't trim back the output manually if needed (some tracks are too high and cause distortion)
I have this setup the exact same way on the DJM5000 but when I manually move the internal gains the volume adjusts perfectly.
Is there something I am missing to fix this small issue?
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Eoghan

So....you've selected "external mixer" and you're surprised that the internal mixer knobs don't function?
That's the whole idea of using an external hardware mixer. The internal "virtual" mixer is not required. You've got a real one.

Ok, so what settings do I choose? This same configuration works with the DJM5000 and I can adjust the trim on the gain with the internal gains.
In the screen shot below, the mixer is not currently connected, but these are the settings from last night.

Settings? To do what?
If you choose "external mixer" then you adjust the audio with the external mixer. The DJM900 does have gain knobs.

Yes, I have it mapped to the mixer, the gain knobs on the DJM900 will physically move the on screen knobs but there is no change to the track level.
The issue is when you load a track that is pushing 100% level on the screen, it compresses the sound into the mixer and therefore the quality is awful.
Im sure it is an easy fix but I cant seem to figure it ...

OK I'll say it again. When using an external mixer, you do not need to map anything to the VDJ mixer. It's not being used!
You use your external mixer to adjust levels, EQ etc. You do not need the VDJ mixer, or any mapping.

Many external mixers are mapped though, but set the vdj volume as 'fake' so that it's just a visual representation but altering the sound is done by the mixer.
The advantage is that the screen faders match your mixer's, and that since vdj knows them it can use the position to know which deck is audible (for automatic video fader and security load warnings for example)
Anyway, if you have connected your amplifier or speakers ti your mixer and the gain knobs don't work, the error is at your mixer.
