Hello xD
I was wondering if anyone out there uses voicemeeter potato with their VDJ and has mic crackling issues. Or, has experienced the crackling and was able to make adjustments to fix the issue. I have seen the youtube vids explaining vm potatoe set up etc....I was just wondering in anyone else that uses vdj has experienced the same issue as me and was able to make adjustment to fix it. Thanks..xD

There are so many ways to use voicemeeter potato .. so many possible VDJ configs.... and so many audio system and drivers... More info is needed to get help
I personally use voicemeeter potato only on a test configs in a really foolish way with no other issue but a buffer problem after some hours up.. as with any other ASIO
vdj main headphone preview and booth --> voicemeeter potato as a 7.1 demultiplexer & mixer & effect insert & VBAN & multiplexer --> Realtek 7.1 , one audio element per channel with asio4all
getting 4 different outputs controllable from within Voicemeeter:
front : headphones
lfe/center : main
rear : booth
side : preview
there are some issues depending on ASIO port in use and VDJ platform
I use Voicemeeter AUX Virtual ASIO because of problems with Voicemeeter VAIO & VAIO3 and Voicemeeter Insert does not allow demultiplexing with access to sliders
I also get a computer where Voicemeeter used to run for years but one day a VDJ 2018 update started to crashed at start
VDJ is unusable with Voicemeeter there anymore -- can run in 32bit, can run in 64 bit, but needs 2 different configs and VDJ crashes if the unused other one stays in settings
A simple WASAPI config is working great
Most of the time, Voicemeeter is not needed at all in a VDJ Config,
if VBAN is wanted better is to use it from a recording device out of VDJ

Wow!!..thanks!...i went back to the banana version and changed the settings to match the controller (DDJ-SB3) which is the 4-16-44100....and im still getting crackling at times....I really only use the VM for the mic and the background music..I tried getting rid of the background music and the crackling still happens at times... the youtube vids seem to suggest that its buffer issues like you speak of that causes the crackling...sooo frustrating ..i wanna use the VM cause i like the way it makes the mic sound and to play the background music when i speak into my stream...thats pretty much all i use it for....I wonder if there is another program that i can use in lue of vm...but i have not found any..and focusrite for the 212 scarlet that i use doesn't offer it...I hate i have a nice road broadcaster mic with an audio interface and get crackling....im really bummed

I don't see why you're involving another piece of software at all.
VDJ has a mic input, and nowadays it has full three band EQ. VDJ can also of course play "background music" on any of its (up to 99) decks or even the sampler.

ive used the sampler before, its great for bk music..but not the eq for the mic..i will look for it....i have no idea where it is....if i can make the mic sound like it does via vm...that would be fantastic...vm is a pita..lol...but i wanted something for the mic and vm is what i found....thanks for responding!..xD

I'm not aware of any skins that have implemented EQ on the mic yet, but you can of course make use of custom knobs.

I made my own skin with the skin maker...so if i can figure out how to access the eq for the mic and it works ....and ....I can incorporate it in to the skin...thats what i will do..I would rather do that than mess with vm anymore...thanks for your help.

I added the mic EQ controls to the old default skin a while ago.
It's also possible to add a mic effect section if you wanted to use a compressor, reverb etc.

A gate would be nice..that sure did come in handy so folks didn't hear my dog when she barked!...im adding the eq to the skin now...thanks for the pic...but which ones are for the mic eq?...are those the 4 knobs in the middle that appear to be custom?..I added the eq nobs..it does sound better...not as good as vm did..but at least i dont have to deal with vm anymore.

instead of using 3 band eq, use the 10 band plugin.
as for a gate, should be possible with something like this
repeat_start 'homeMadeGate' 30ms & param_smaller "get_level 'mic'" 0.4 ? mic_volume 1.0 & repeat_start 'micDip' 2000ms 1 & mic_volume 0.0 : nothing
0.4 [40%] is the threshold, 2000ms is the hold.
I haven't tested [no mic here] and it will depend on your HW mic routing, but it should work, or use a vst
