Forum: VirtualDJ Technical Support

Also try to scan the song again on both builds to check if there is a difference of gain in the bpm calculation.

The audio screenshot I need with the card connected so that it doesn't say error at the end.
Preferably with mouse over the card so that it shows the additional information

Thanks, I do indeed see some distortion in your 3572 recording.
This distortion does not show up in my own recordings however, and so far I haven't been able to find what could have caused that between these 2 builds.

As another test, can you try to do the same test, but record from within virtualdj instead of through the outputs and see if the distortion is still there in these recordings?

Edit: Also, was there any controller connected while doing the test? If so, was the pitch at the center position?

That's interesting. I have checked my settings and the sample rate is set to 48000 instead of 44100. I thought I had mine set to 44100 originally so maybe one of the recent builds has changed that back.

Not sure if it makes a difference to the sound output to my controller on WASAPI but I will check later.

I believe I have also been experiencing this problem. I played at my weekend function last night using 2 XDJ 700's in HID mode, and using a Pioneer DJM 900NXS mixer as the soundcard. I did notice that the sound (midrange and treble especially) appeared to be a lot louder and not as refined as it usually is and I had to reduce the mid & high via the mixer. When I arrived home I checked the settings and I noticed that the sample rate was set to 'Automatic 48000' and I'm sure I had this set to 44100. I fired up my desktop pc which I use with my Numark NS6, checked the sample rate on VDJ, and it was set at 44100.
I'm playing at the same venue again tonight so I will change the sample rate back to 44100 and see how it sounds.

I'm not really sure where to set my sample rate. I use mostly vobs (about 80%) which are 48000, but some of my music is 44100. My Mixdeck Quad only handles 44100 so I don't really know what setting to use in vdj. I seems to sound OK whichever setting I use but there may be odd songs that don't when you are the other side of the speakers.

@diamond video disco pretty sure i never seen atomix say they support surround sound ... this seems to be way off topic for this thread since it has nothing to do with vob files or surrounds sound

have they checked (if using windows) that the "full range" of sound is being sent to the main speakers?

I have a hunch that the "four" is on the LFE surround sound sub-woofer channel.

I've tested using a special wav file that has a spoken sequence of 8 numbers (1 through 8) (uses 8 channels for surround sound) - I ran it through different media players. I've noticed differences... VLC fails to pick out "four", Windows Media Player, the "four" is barely audible, Virtual DJ failed to sound "four", Media Player Classic (MPC-HC) worked OK. Try playing your vob files through the MPC-HC (this gets installed with the K-Lite codec packs). I have a hunch that the "four" is on the LFE surround sound sub-woofer channel. Has the user tried to create different types of video file (rather than "vob"), perhaps mp4 would be more appropriate? I purchase commercially available videos and they always seem to be mp4 and are very good quality in virtual DJ.
