Hi Paulettecerra
I've got a NTC too ....Hope i don't have to pay you royalties for using that term :)
Do you use yours with the HDC Mk2 as the sound card?
If so just wondered how the whole earphone situation works, can you still Listen to Split & Mix as well as either Deck via the headphone sockets on the Mk2?
IF you don't use the MK2, apologies for wasting your time with questions you cant answer!
I do have the NTC (damn, another £10 in royalties) and the MK2, but due home improvement projects i'm not gonna get a chance to rig up and test for a while.
Cheers

I use my onboard card.. I've bean told that unless your scratching and such 24bit is good..
Sound card don’t have much volume to drive to signal to speaker or even headphones in a load room.... I use to have the same problem with mixer in my club days.. What I did to boost the signal to the headphones.. I bought a cheep set of pc speakers with a volume controlled to amplify the signal to the headset.. Take the speaker that has the controls and wires and rip it apart leaving the wire intact.. You will end up with a little circuit board with a 1/8th inch jack for you headphones,, a line in to go to the sound card and a power supply.. Plug in the headphones, set the volume on the controller half way,, turn on the sound and set the volume knob on the new headphone amp to an very high level without plowing you phones.. Take a piece of electrical tape and wrap the knob and any exposed part of the circuit board to keep it from shorting.. It works great and I purchased pc speakers for $9.99, I seen them online for $2.99.. Good luck. If you have any othe question please don’t hesitate to ask..

I don't have the NTC yet but I'm thinking that if you hooked up both units with the MK2 being the soundcard this would work.
input / none
headphone - speaker
sound cards / 4.1
sound card / hercules
controler / check box the NTC instead of the hercules

Ya but if you have a onboard card and your only mixing, playing tunes, then you would be just carrying around another unnecessary peace of equipment.. right???

Hi Fatkatzdj
Thanks for that, ive actually had a chance to test this morning, and you're spot on !!
If you select the sound card as the Mk2(rather than 4.1) it all goes wrong, the mk2 tries to be the controller too! ..and VDJ just hangs.
So you must select a general 4.1 as the soundcard and then 'Primary' (which i believe the Mk2 always becomes when connected?) from the dropdown menu.
Only problem is now that VDJ won't close until i disconnect the NTC, freezes on "Saving Database", not a major problem, but its much more reassuring when everything works as expected, still of elements of doubt over reliability
I need to do a real bruteforce test with this setup and see how reliable it is, have played with it for 15mins or so with out any problems, (other than the one above)

I just ordered my NTC... damm royalites.... I mean Numark Total Control. Should be here on Monday. It's been a long, long wait.
Can anyone tell me the primary and important differences between Numark Cue LE, and the full version of CUE/VDJ?
Just curious while I wait...

Well, since no one was able to answer my question about CUE LE not accepting new sound effect plugins when they are placed in the Plugins-SoundEffect folder, I will have to assume that Cue LE is just crippled on purpose.
I also found that you cannot resize the video screen in Cue LE...how useful.
I downloaded the full Cue version trial and it accepted the new plugs no problem, but there is no checkbox for NTC.
I think I wasted my money on this thing.

My review on the TC yeah thats my name for it,
um well i find it a decent product obviously i wouldn't mind having a headphone input and some stereo outputs on it but hey what they give is what you get, im still getting use to using looping mainly controling the loop in with my mac then the rest with the TC, the faders are good enough, same with the rest of the buttons on it, but i find that the scratching bit is a bit loose and just spins, but over all its a good object.
The software, i find that that the traktor software is sh!t, the cue software is better i reacon with the video aswell, the only thing is id say get the full version of the software as you aren't able to record your mixes, plus you dont have all the effects which i guess you get with the full version, and your own loops that you can make only stay on when your on there if you turn it of they wont be there to be used when you turn it on again.
was wondering if any users know if you can tighten the scratch wheel or not, because i just think it would work better if you could
thanks dj benzino

For those who want to do "backspins", they need those wheels to spin.
