Topic: Maximum record time VDJ8

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi there!

I searched in the manual but can not find an answer so I was hoping someone here could give it to me.

What is the maximum length of a recording in VDJ8? Is it limited?

Thanks in advance, Chris.

the only limit is the amount of free space you have to store the recording.

Aha great! I love to make long mixes and always could do that with vdj7 but didn't know how this was set in vdj8.
I bought a new mixer and it came with serato (record limit 3 hours) but I switched back to VDJ within a day :D

Thanks, now nothing stands in my way to buy a license and so I'm gonna do.

Mind you that recording to WAV file format has it's own limits (4GB Max which equals about 6.8 hours recording time in 44.1KHz@16bit)
Any other format (like flac or mp3) does not have any limit besides the free space on your drive

OK! Thanks for the extra info! I record mixes in 320kb/s mp3 so I can give it a spin!

If you are planning to, um, edit your mixes then of course FLAC would be better for recording and then you would encode to MP3 at the end of the process.

That way your editing would not affect sound quality due to repeated encoding and decoding.

Hi! I don't edit my mixes afterwards. I just mix and record, the oldschool way haha :-)

Thanks anyway!
