Topic: RUN VST SYNTHESIZERS DIRECTLY TO THE MASTER OUTPUT AND NOT AS AN EFFECT.

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

HELLO I JUST HAVE A SUGESTION FOR FUTURE VERSION OF VIRTUAL DJ. AS

YOU KNOW YOU CAN RUN VST ON VIRTUAL DJ, BUT ONLY THE VST THAT HAVE

EFFECTS LIKE REVERB, ECHO, ECT... RUN GOOD. BUT TO RUN VST THAT ARE

SYNTHESIZERS (PIANOS, ECT.) YOU HAVE TO PLAY A TRACK TO USE IT AND

THATS NO GOOD. IF YOU CAN AD A NEW FEATURE THAT YOU CAN RUN VST THAT

ARE SYNTHESIZERS AND THAT ITS SOUND OUTPUT GO DIRECTLY TO THE MASTER

OUT PUT IN ORDER TO HAVE THE 2 DECK FREE TO PLAY TRACKS IT WILL BE

REALLY GOOD AND USEFUL. YOU CAN SEE THIS FEATURE IN OTHER PROGRAM

THAT IS THE RIVAL OF VIRTUAL DJ, ITS NAME IS DECKADANCE OF

IMAGE-LINE. DECKADANCE ITS COOL BUT NO MATCH FOR VIRTUAL DJ BUT THE

ONLY USEFUL FEATURE THAT IT HAS IS TO RUN VST SYNTHESIZERS DIRECTLY

TO THE MASTER OUTPUT. WELL THIS IS JUST AND IDEA TO HELP VIRTUAL DJ

SOFTWARE #1 :)

Please don't use all caps !
 
sorry about the caps :)
 
I have a midi controller that I use on my show and the idea is to add that extra touch to a mixed song or just play a beat template and play a melody or a bass sound with some effects with the synthesizer. I dont know if its a good idea or not but it just gives you a felling to improvice and I thick that it gives a new edge to live preformance. beacuse you dont have to be on your studio with some other program like fruityloops or abelton live to remix or create a song. It will be really cool to make and record a new song while you are djing.
 
You would need to have the full cue to use vst effects , and instruments if that was added in the future.
 
 
I have a lite (LE) version of abelton live but im not that good at it.
Also I use Numark DJ/IO sound card but i cannot use 2 programs at the same time both using the it. Hey it just occur to me that maybe if I use one output 1 for virtual dj and live to the output 2 to see if it works. but i supouse that running the 2 programs at the same time will make my cpu crazy.

anyone knows if there is a vst or a program that lets me use a vst synthesizer as a stand alone program?
 
thanks for the help: skyfxl and erxon

If both of the programs are running in 44.1 kHz / 16 bit mode, than you should have no problem
using them both at a time. In your case (having only two stereo ouputs) I would probably use
one for VDj and one for ableton or any other host for my favorite VST. Even better, if the VST
has a standalone application you could use that, than use the good midi controller to play and
automate any other parameter of the synth without a need to even look at it on the screen.

VDj is only cpu demanding while loading tracks in memory and when using advanced master tempo
algorithm, so if you have a fast clock or even dual core you should have no issues. Just set the
latency slightly higher so the soundcard can handle it.
