This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Hi i have just purchased American Audio VMS5 Work station I have down loaded virtual DJ and the vms5 drivers and set up as advised

I have had several problems setting up but with looking at the forum have managed to sort out some issues
I have reloaded drivers and reset vdj a couple of times
I am now left with this problem
If i load a track onto A panel press play and slider controlling the sound is slider 3
When loading a track on panel B the slider controlling the sound is slider 1
Also the output sound is not at all loud

Please advise
Thank you
Kev

Can't have been giving it your full attention then as towards the end of the guide it tells you your ownly options are 1234 & 3124.

Also check your a/b side choice.

There are 2 different things here, that you need to take care and match order.

One is the MIDI part, so each time you move a fader on the VMS5, the corresponding Volume fader on GUI should move as well. following the same order. E.g. if you want to use the default 3-1-2-4 mixer order, moving far left fader on VMS5, should move far left (deck 3) on the GUI.
The "MIDI" mixer order can be changed from the Mixer Options -->Layout as the screenshot from Loco (or of course from the custom skin)

The other thing is the audio routing. You need to match the out-coming sound to match your mixer order. For this you need to change the assigned Channels order in VDJ Audio Setup

Also, make sure that..
- VMS5 is at 8out mode (front switch). If it's not, power off VMS5, switch to 8out mode and then power on again
- All 4 Midilogs (front switches) are set to USB

Thank you do much the decks are now in sync however the EQ are not effecting the output sound although they are in sync with the virtual DJ and the controller( each knob moves when turned)
The master volume works and also the balance

The other issue is the head phone que lights on vdj channel 1 & 2 are lighting up when the buttons have not been selected when the buttons are selected the vdj go out?

Regards
Kevin

For the Equalizer, please read this http://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/hardware/americanaudio/vms5/advanced/eqmode.html
The default operation requires..
- Pre EQ mode
- default mapping (or at least have the same ONINIT action as the default one)
- speakers connected to the VMS5

Don't quite follow the issue with the PFL/CUE buttons, but trust what you see on the unit and not the GUI
Tip : Disable the setting pflOnSelect in VDJ Options and avoid triggering PFL from GUI

In AUDIO tab of VirtualDJ Settings, press the AMERICAN AUDIO VMS5 button you see at the top-mid. It should auto-create the audio setup you see here..
http://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/hardware/americanaudio/vms5/installation.html
As far as i can see from your Account stats, you are using the default/built-in sound card of your computer instead of the VMS5 sound card.
If you still have issues, open the Windows Sound panel and select your computer's built-in sound card as default playback device instead of the VMS5.

Thank you for the advice I have eventually managed to get the unit working by changing the mixer chanel settings to 1234 and the ADJSIO to
1 1 2
2 3 4
3 5 6
4 7 8
Using the VMS5 sound card

Still not sure why this happend at the update of licence i was live at the time and not connected to wify suddenly it all reverted back to default mode
Because of this I was not able to continue the wedding reception using the laptop luckily I had stand by CDs but was not fully operational and a bit embarrassing

Best regards
Kevin

Hi folks, quick and easy one hopefully - how do I make a track skip back to the start or first que point and pause ready for me to hit play.
Thanks (without rewinding the platters or pressing rewind button constantly) I'm sure there is a quick way ??
