POST-FADER SOFTWARE EFFECTS


Hardware Effects applied from the DJM-900NXS2 are always Post-fader. For VirtualDJ Effects (applied from skin or other MIDI device), you will need to have the following settings.
  • fxprocessing setting to Post-Fader (from VirtualDJ Settings->OPTIONS tab


  • In VirtualDJ AUDIO tab, deckfxreturn and deckfxsend are already assigned to the same Channels as in Pioneer Settings Utility.




RECORD & BROADCAST


Recording your mix with a mixer applying it's own audio mixing, Equalizer and Effects, requires a dedicated Recording Input. By default VirtualDJ is using Inputs 9,10 and the special record input is included in the pre-defined Audio setup of VirtualDJ
Just make sure your Audio setup and Pioneer Settings Utility have the same Channels.





RECORDING LEVEL


By default when you are recording with a dedicated Record input, VirtualDJ has no control over the sound levels of the recordings. The Pioneer Settings Utility offers some options over the sound level that it sends back to VirtualDJ for recording. The default value is -15db which provides enough headroom for your recordings so that they won't clip. You can change that value from Pioneer Setting Utility according to your needs.



TIMECODE - DVS


By default up to 4 Timecode inputs can offer DVS control to 4 VirtualDJ Decks, using CH Inputs 1 to 4. Read further information for Timecode Inputs at VirtualDJ Manual

  • Depending on the DVS/Timecode device type (Turntable-Vinyl or CD), connect your Timecode device to the LINE or PHONO inputs at the rear panel of the DJM-900NXS2
