Topic: No split headphones - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Hi,

I use a Sweex 7.1 sound usb card to mix on VDJ 8, i have the headphones output on channel 3&4, since it's a stereo output when I try to enable the splitheadphone setting, it don't split.

Do I have to split it manually? Somehow like monosplit where channel 3 is for master output, and channel 4 is for headphones?

It should work with this stereo sound card, right?

Thank you in advance

I already tried that. But it still mix to both sides of headphones, it don't split the sound.
 
this might be a bug, i can't test right as my headphones are a bit broken

until someone can confirm this set up should sort you out
 
why are you trying to use a split headphone setup to mix when you have an external card?

do

internal card = master output
usb card = headphone output

there is no need to use a split setup when you have 2 soundcards.

internal card goes to your amp
external to your headphones

or vice versa depending on preference
 
He's probably talking about a cue/master split on the cue channel, not having cue and master on either side of a single output due to lack of channels.

Some DJs like to hear the cue in one ear and the master in the other so they can judge beat positions easier.

I only use the sweex sound card to output everything. I only want to split my stereo headphones.
 


positive split headphone setups are supposed to be run on mono chanels as above

That's what I need.

despite the soundcard being a 7ch, it wont actually allw you to select 7 channels when working with vdj, the usb cards dont seem to work that way. i recall from having mine i could only use it as a 2 ch stereo card when incorporating it with vdj.

mono split is probably the easiest way forward in this case.
 
It always used to be the case that VDJ did not offer split cue in the software mixer.

However, it does seem that now (with the splitHeadphones option) it should be possible.

But doing that it's only a manual setting not using the splitheadphone setting

Split cue will only be available via any external hardware (such as mixer or controller) that offers the split cue feature.


It's what I wanted to be sure about. But maybe someone from staff could garantee that.
 
ah i see,

would it not work as so

internal soundcard = main master
external soundcard = split mono - master/cue
 
I edited my earlier post...

Yes you are correct that the splitheadphone option is supposed to provide what you are looking for.

I just tried changing the setting here (using the Reloop Mixtour) and it does work. If it doesn't work for you then I would assume it's because of your sound card - it's not designed for pro use.

I only use an external sound card connected to an external mixer

It supposed to have all outputs in stereo. So it could split it with the setting. But I will try to investigate more about that.
 
what mixer
 
 
OK so it's not a DJ mixer. The Behringer will not have split cue on the hardware side.

What audio config are you using in VDJ to send to the Behringer?

If you're using "external mixer" mode, with each deck output going to its own channel of the Behringer then changing the split cue option in VDJ will do nothing - because you're not using the VDJ sofware mixer.
