Hello,
I was wondering if I could potentially get some sort of walkthru/help in setting up my new products. I must admit I am new at DJ'ing and I am having a hard time trying to set up everything. I want to be able to use my 2 5500's separately just as I would 2 CD players and would like to be able to use my mixer externally with the controls being active in VDJ. Also I am having a hard time trying to set up the sound tab. Someone please help me. This would be greatly appreciated. I think I just need help all around. Once I get everything set up I will be fine:). Thank you.

Hi Hawk,
You've bought alot of gear for one so new to DJing and i'm not sure that you've targeted your spending properly. Both of your Denons are capable of playing 2 tracks at the same time which gives you 4 . So I suppose my point is that one denon 5500 is sufficient to do a gig. So what exactly are you trying to achieve. Plug a hdd into the back of one and connect its outputs to the channels 1 & 2 of mixer and off you go.
If you want to use virtual dj then connect your 2nd denon to your laptop.. put the denon in midi mode and connect the audio outs of the denon to channel 3 and 4 of the mixer. Under the sound tab select the external mixer option and select the Denon audio driver. You now have control of 4 decks on the External mixer ( i'd say that that would even be enough for Carl Cox)
Native support is now available for the 5500 in virtual dj5.2. .. so select the 5500 controller under the remote control panel instead of midi mapper.
I haven't used the dbm4000 but it doesn't look at all practical and I would expect its sound to be fairly harsh. Its a bit like buying a sports car and putting remould tyres on the wheels. A pioneer djm800 would suit if you really wanted midi functionality. All the denon mixers are fine too.
I think the Denon hc4500 would have been a more practical solution with virtual dj.
It sounds like the salesman was doing the shopping for you.
Best regards
Ferg.
