I have VDJ 3.0 and there is jarring/distortion and overlapping of music suddenly without doing anything. and this continues till the next song is loaded or till i adjust the volume, or nudge the track, or do something with the playback controls like pitch etc etc...
this is very annoying and it embarassed me in front of the whole crowd at a party at which i was playing. it didnt happen wit the older VDJ 2.xx i just upgraded two days back..and this problem exist eversince....
This problem keeps happening say every minute...
i read the FAQ and changed the reactivity to medium, i dunno if it has solved the problem.
Any thoughts please?
I even upgraded my video card drivers, i couldnt find any new drivers for my sound card, and my diretx version is a latest one, 9.0c.
My PC config:
PIV 1.6 gHz
512 mb RAM
Soundblaster PCI128
please be open to comments, as i know that my pc is low on config compared to the other vdj users.
HELP ME PLEASE!

Just by chance have these tracks been scanned in vdj yet?
Sometimes if you disable the auto bpm in the general settings it will go away.

You're right about about configuration: with my 1Ghz & 384 RAM it runs smoothly on FAST reactivity (no crackling sounds etc.). But I really don't know an answer to your problem.
By 'scanned' he means analized. The problem is not there, that would occour in previous version also.

Ok i found out that its a conflict between my soundcard and graphics card (Geforce FX 5200)
cos when the distortion (cracking) sound came again, i closed the video window and it was ok. but i keeps coming cos theres graphics on the waveform right...
anyone know how to solve this conflict... maybe change IRQ? or maybe lower the Hardware acceleration..i'll try..
thoughts are most welcome!

@djaditya: I also have a FX5200 and I have troubles with video in VDJ. At present I haven't found a solution ... except getting rid of that basical card. I expect to do it one day.

Maybe I'm wrong ...
It seems to be an IRQ conflict.
Did yu check your config (IRQ / DMA ...). If it's really a problem of IRQ it's not always easy to soluce.

Dude, downgrade to version 2.04 if it worked beautifully for you. If you are not using video, stay with that version until you get a new PC/decide to use video. I know it's not a perfect solution, but, in the end, all that matters is what's coming out of the speaker, and ain't sounding good at the moment.
Anyway, that's what I am doing because the new features of 3.0 are of no use to me right now. Contact e-service to get the download for 2.04.

Hi all. Just thought I would join the 'I got a crap geforce 5200fx video card' club as well. I haven't even started working with the video aspect as I am still having issues with the sound. Although the video aspect sounds cool, bottom line I would love a good sounding mixing program.
Could anyone let me know what features would be missed in between versions as I am contemplating a rollback for reliabilities sake.

well..
first of all version 3.0 is NOT all about video!
There are a complete new sound/audio engine for better stability!
Better CPU usage for smoother audio play
Bug fixes for audio scratch....
... and more :)
downgrading to earlier versions IS NOT a good idea.. Vdj3.0 is better and more stable for audio use

so what do i do dj-in-norway? i see that both my audio and video cards are on the same irq.
if i set the reactivity to medium, its better, but i still dont understand cos i rarely use video, and still theres cracking even without video.

you need to change the IRQ for one of the cards...
Soundcard and graphic card sharing IRQ can be a problem
go to device manager in Windows control panel, and choose "deactivate" the soundcard
Then "activate" it agan, and if you are lucky, the soundcard will be asigned to different IRQ
If that does not work, move soundcard to different PCI slot of the PC

Try this link:
http://www.virtualdj.com/forum/display.html?topic=1180&page=1
if even that won't help, try to do a clean installation of windowsXP.
When you are finished, make a ghost-image of your fresh-installed harddrive -> when your windowsXP is messed-up again, you can restore your pc in 5 minutes using the ghost-image.
