Topic: Virtual Dj Stops Playing

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have virtual dj running on a MAC with a Virtual Numark Box , M audio Exponent (as a mixer) and 1 Pioneer Cdj 1000mk2 Using Single Timecode..

For some reason virtual stops playing.. It usually happens when I go to the search bar typing another song to load on a deck...I Always seem to have to go to config and click apply OVER and OVER, and sometimes when i do this, my computer will freeze up after a while and i would have to restart my whole computer to get Virtual Dj working again until it does the same thing AGAIN..

Below Is my Config-


Inputs-- Single Timecode
Outputs-- Single Outputs
Sound Care-- Numark Virtual Vinyl


If anyone knows what the problem is PLEASE let me know..

Thanks.

I am running the denon mc6000, with mac. I thought it was the RAM. I upgraded from 2 to 4gb. And seems to have made it worse. The CPU light builds up as soon as I type. DRIVES Me nuts. You hear anything on this?

What i would do is start with a fresh install, remove all old versions and re install. IMO.
Make sure all drives etc are up to date.

Really?? Yes it is also driving me nuts... And no i did not hear anything on this yet...

I Tried the fresh install and nothing. Im running mac so all the drivers are not necessary....Or are they????

Thanks.

Sounds silly, but are you sure that you have space bar doing nothing as a keystroke shortcut. Used to happen to mine when I thought I was in search area, but wasn't. I would start typing then space would pause the song.

Just something else to look at.

Just for your information, I'm having the same problem. I'm using Windows 7. Also using timecode vinyl and after about 2 hours is randomly freezes... and I have to hit apply to make it work again. Another 30 minutes passes.... freeze.

I updated my RAM and turned of my wifi on my MAC. Seems to have fixed it. recently, not sure what happened but in the in middle of a party it froze completely, cutting off the music.

The latest problem I have is when I search. when I type the second character/letter in the search box the music hesitates or skips. I am stil running the LE verison that came with the MC6000, I was told once I update to full version I can set the advance search critierias, and that would fix it. Any one else have the same issue?

I have the same issue.. running a registered copy of VDJ 7 (latest version).

Macbook (Dual Core, 2GB RAM)
M-Audio Connectiv
Timecode (2 1200s)
MC6000 as MIDI only

I've tried setting the Connective for inputs and MC6000 as the sound card in ADVANCED config, but it just freezes up VDJ.

I am having the same problem, I thought maybe it's time for a new Mac Pro. But it sounds like a software issue. I'm running the newest Virtual DJ 8 on a Mac, with the Denon MC6000. Once a night I will be loading a song then the spinning wheel of death. So I have to force quit the program and then reload it. After that it usually works fine, but that really sucks.
