Last night, I hooked my laptop up using my maya ex USB soundcard to the clubs external mixer. In order for me to hear the song through the headphones using the external mixer, I had to make sure that the crossfade on VDJ was not all the way to the deck side where the song playing to the club was. If it was all the way, I would get nothing. If I slid it over just a bit, it worked. Is this normal, or should I have been able to cue up the next song with the crossfade slid completely in the other direction? Not sure, first time I have used the set up this way.

Thats normal operation. Leave the software crossfader in the center when using an external mixer.

One more question? While one deck is playing to the club, how would I preview a song through the headphones when I right click on an mp3 in the libarary? This is of course with the same set up as in the above message.

you'll need a three channel mixer assign the output in the advanced config use that ouput to go to the input on the dj mixer and use the cue bus on it
or
get a headphone amp and use another output on the maya.

What is a headphone amp? Where would I get one. If I go this way, would I have to go into advanced config for set up, or could I still use the regular config I use for the standard soundcard to external mixer set up?

The ability to split the audio output is NOT available in the trial version. To do this you must buy the full version.

You need the headphone amp to hear line levels you can get them at most music stores that offer recording gear. Yes you would need to use the advanced config only. By far the simplest way is the way you aleardy had it but to make use of the case player you'd need to continually switch to a channel not in use. A or B and use the cue bus on your real dj mixer. I still don't understand why you would want that functionality I've never needed a third player in 6 plus years of djing.

Hi all (first post-er; love VDJ already:))-
Simple question- I'm trying to get my headphones to work. I plugged them in to the back of my pc where the headphone hole is and I get nothing. I'm just testing this with a pair of headphones that came off of a walkman cd player. Where do I start to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance

BTW- This is so freakin' cool! I wish I knew software like this existed 4 years ago.
