I installed as instructed. Set mode to ASIO. Ran Cubasis VST 5 and it all went horribly wrong. Songs would either play with major problems necessitating reset devices or not at all. My lap-top would not shut down and kept rebooting so I uninstalled both Cubasis and the new Hercules drivers and reinstalled Cubasis. It all seems to be working swimmingly although I've yet to install any Hercules drivers.

I installed the new drivers yesterday, they do not work with Virtual DJ. The controller is picked up fine by XP, and responds as a sound card and buttons are registered under game controller, but when it comes to VDJ, no response from the controller, and guess what... try to roll back the drivers... you can't the firmware will not roll back so now I have an unresponsive controller... thanks Hercules... guess I'm going to have to use my Final Scratch instead.

So word of warning DO NOT INSTALL THE NEW DRIVERS FROM HERCULES!!!

I've upgraded the drivers & I have no problems, I think even the scratching sounds a little better

Is it only me or does anyone else have also problems with the new ASIO mode of the latest Hercules drivers ?

ASIO problems. See my post regarding Cubasis VST 5.

I confirm the asio problems, at least i get them with VDJ when i set Hercules DJ console Asio as output, i don't hear anything coming out... well it's better than crashing my system i guess :)
Else, i do agree the fact that scratching sounds a bit better, but the thing i noticed the most is that the console is more responsive than before and also it seems more stable in long runs.

Ps: if you want to upgrade your drivers, just do like Hercules page says : follow up instructions appearing on screen carefully

In Asio mode i've got software problem: after that i closed the VirtualDJ program, and i try to restart it, WinXP said that ther are DirectX bugs (like a crush down), and i can't use Virtual DJ than.
Without the Asio mode enable, there aren't any problem.
A question for all party peoples: where can we download new effect for the Virtual Console (because from Virtual DJ must be registered)?

i have tryed the new drivers but when i close virtualDJ and re-open, the console not working well. I need to unplug the usb connector, close the DjConsoleMixer and plug again the console and start again the program.
I have try the ASIO mode with "Reason" and seem to work fine, although the jog wheel doesn't work fine.

I have resolved the problem. I have disabled the ASIO mode from the DJconsolemixer and now work fine :)
