Topic: Left Deck Freezing with Hercules RMX

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

It all start last week, I play on a club from 9pm to 3am, around 2am the left deck freezes and wont\' let me play anything , I can load a track on the left deck but it won\'t play, it moves very slow or skips, it only happens to the left deck.

My system is below.

Hercules RMX with the latest Firmware.

MAC OS snow Leopard.
2.4Ghz
3GB ram

320GB Hard drive.

I use to have this isue with my Dell using Vista but never with my MAC.

Help please.

Sounds like a hardware/firmware issue I would try uninstalling the hercules driver and reinstalling it with the latest update. If that fails remove VDJ install and reload that in a new directory that does not utilize any of your old configurations.

i have a similar problem with the audio 'dropping out' but on both decks. all the other controls work (x-fade, eq knobs etc) but the audio wont play. to work around it i go into system settings >sound setup and then reselect the hercules rmx in the sound card drop down box.

its far from ideal as it can happen mid-mix (i.e no sound until you reselect the rmx in the drop down).

Hercules just released a new driver on their tech support site. I had this same problem with my windows vista laptop - I'm hoping this helps!

http://ts.hercules.com

It would happen when I loaded a song after playing continuous for over an hour. I had to turn off my external hard drive and close and restart VDJ and then I was able to play non-stop for an hour again. I don't want to have to do that.

Hello,

1) You should describe which release of VirtualDJ you use, otherwhise one cannot reproduce the issue and help you.
Is it with VDJ Pro 6.0.2, 6.0.3 or a 5.2.x version?

2) How to know what freezes, DJ Console Rmx left deck or VirtualDJ left deck?
- if, when you load the music on the deck with your mouse, and click on the play button with your mouse, the playback works while it doesn't work when you click on DJ Console Rmx Play button, then DJ Console Rmx is freezing.
- if, when you load the music on the deck with your mouse, and click on the play button with your mouse, the playback doesn't work, then the freezing is in VirtualDJ.
