Topic: Echo Indigo DJ VDJ in Asio-mode: good idea?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm planning to buy an Echo Indigo DJ.
it's a 4channel soundcard on pcmcia.
it supports Asio 2.0 and many other formats.
signal to noise ratio 111db!

as fas as i could search, there is no other external soundcard whith these specs.

but before i buy if, i want to know it VDJ supports all 4 channels of it in Asio-mode.

can any1 confirm this?

any reply would be nice :) thanx guys

I just ordered the Indigo DJ, should get it in a day or two.

I'll let you know after I test it.

If I forget, mail me. lindseyp *at* gol.com
 
LOL i just did the same. echo indigo-dj has good specs : signal/noise ratio 111db :-P
 
I've heard good things about the Indigo series, and had been holding off buying one for some time, but now I downloaded VDJ there was no excuse! Now I can DJ out of a small laptop bag!

Hey, at least we'll have our own VDJ-Indigo user group... membership: 2


heheheh
 
as far as i can rember.. there are 2 more dudes on the forum with indigo DJ but i can't rember who they were.

VDJ-Indigo membercount :4 :-P
 
 
Well as you've probably found out by now, you CAN set up the Echo Indigo DJ in ASIO mode but there's not much point. as a 2x2 channel - 8 virtual channel soundcard it works just fine using 1 pair of outputs for the mixdesk and one pair for the headphones.

Using ASIO means you'd have to use the 'virtual mixer' of the Echo unit itself, which is IMHO a nasty solution.
 
i received my Echo indigoDJ yesterday. Installing drivers was a B*TCH. i had to do it all over 3 times, but it is working now.

i didn't have time to try it in ASIO-mode, but i will try it tonight
 
i got home early, i couldn't wait any longer ;)

i fired up my laptop.
started vdj and tried al kinds of settings.

lindseyp, VDJ is working just fine in ASIO-mode using the Indigo DJ. in all 4 channels!
you will have to choose advanced config and select asio soundcard 4 times (2 for the left desk and 2 for the right desk).


for the left desk:
choose left-channel 5/6
choose right-channel 6


for the right desk:
choose left-channel 7/8
choose right-channel 8

i ensure you: channels 7/8 and 8 are not mixed down to outputs 1 and 2.


i also use an external mixer connectet to a 2x200 watt (rms) amp the sound is incredible!
I have been struggling with many differend ASIO drivers to get VDJ to work in ASIO (for more than 9 months) I finally got it to work!

i recommand Echo - Indigo DJ to everybody who uses VDJ on a laptop!
 
i use it 2.....don't forget to mute the channels in the indigo mixer otherwise the sound bleeds through on VDJ.
 
I have one too, but havent been using it since I got my two xp10's

Havent figured out ASIO mode yet with the indigo DJ card

WHAT DOES THE ASIO mode do?
 
ASIO is another way of accessing the sound card hardware.

ASIO stands for (Audio Stream Input/Output) and was developed by Steinberg. It allows software to have access to the multi-channel capabilities

ASIO expands on the basic capabilities of a standard computer sound card, most of which can only provide stereo (two-channel) audio input and output. The ASIO specification defines the interface that manufacturers of professional audio sound cards must use to create an ASIO driver for their hardware. I havent figured out how to use ASIO mode with VDJ yet

on some sound cards, ASIO may have a lower latency than Direct sound. The lowest latency I have seen is with Kernel mode 2ms with a maya 44 using bpm studio.

Hey Wirelessdj,

i described how to configure vdj to use indigodj in asiomode above. it's not that hard. you can do it ;)

i had 2 gigs this weekend. I just want everybody to know that VDJ performed outstanding using ASIO drivers, providing crystal clear sound without ANY glitch.
