Topic: Each deck is controlling the opposite deck - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

my left deck is controlling the right deck on virtual DJ and my right deck is controlling the left deck on virtual DJ lol. How can I get the left deck to control the left deck on virtual DJ and the right deck to control the right deck on virtual DJ?

You need to go to the mapping page (in config) and select the Deck: dropdown for each of your players.

I will try this. I am currently factory resetting the laptop because it was not performing right, I think I had some viruses on there.

By the way, the recording is great now with my old laptop. I am unsure why it was not working with my expensive laptop.

Thanks for all of the help... I really appreciate it :)
 
There could be something running on there that's clashing with the USB soundcard. You need to disable anything that's non essential.

There are sites that give details of how to configure a PC for audio use. What you can get rid of and so on.

That may be why it is not working. I'm not sure how to disable anything that's not essential. Do you know any websites that show how to configure a PC for audio use?
 
you could just switch deck assignments in audioconfig for your NDXs
 
In Settings, there’s an option “Crossfader Hamster” - check that is on - if it’s on, turn it off!

It's already turned off.
 
if its controlling (not audio only) opposite deck, changing audio routing wont do it.
Go to mappers in settings, and assign deck to the controllers (you have two Numark "cd players" if I remember right).

Look for the "DECK" assignment

I set it to 1 and 2 in the mapping section but it did not work. I also set it to left and right, that did work but then only one side of the mixer was working... one side of the mixer was controlling both of the decks on virtual DJ.
 
Sorry I thought you meant the decks.. (Aka Numark)
Do you mean the mixer channels?

Yes when I set it to left and right it worked the left controlled the left and the right controlled the right but then one channel of the mixer was controlling both of the decks and the other channel did nothing.
 
Do same for the mixer entry, Behringer in the mapper. Set it to automatic (can also select mixer order, but automatic should be fine)
Then in sound settings, make sure each Numark has it own sound entry. And deck 1 for one, and deck 2 for other.

(and each of the numarks then routed via audio cable to separate channels at the mixer).

There is no option for the Behringer mixer in the mapper settings.

Each numark does have it's own entry.

I have RCA cables going into each channel of the mixer.

Sorry I need a coffee lol
Its an analogue mixer, so it doesnt control VirtualDJ at all :)
Got confused when you said controlling one side of VirtualDJ,.. . you are not controlling anything, you mean the audio input.

So, in audio settings, the setup is wrong. Make sure each Numark has its own entry (its own sound card entry, should be 2 hopefully)
One Numark for deck 1
Other Numark for deck2

The soundcard for each CD player its usually indicated as 1 and 2 in the sound card drop down, one for each NDX (if not , you will have to just try each)
(CDJ 400 in example below but you get the idea )

What I meant was only one side of my mixer is being controlled. Now it's changed, the left cdj is controlling the left and the right cdj is controlling the right but now my mixer is working on opposite channels. The left side of my mixer is controlling the right and the right side of my mixer is controlling the left.

There is no option for my decks in the drop down. Here is an image of the dropdown
