    Virtual DJ Performances setup right to have good sound with console setted in "Use Jogs for scratch" mode


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Internal mixer mode (Standard use with Headphone connected to the Console)


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    External mixer mode (With Headphone connected to an external mixer)

    Step 1


    Step 2
    Go in option and select Crossfader > Disabled
    Now if crossfader is linked to video you can use only to crossfade the video but no audio.

    Step 3 (Set "Use External mixer" in english)


    Ps. Any restart of Virtual DJ require a new External mixer selection into the Hercules MK2 panel.

    sorry but 2007_CMK2_2 isn't for win xp!
    i had tested new drivers 1.cmk2.2007 & 2.cmk2.2007 in windows xp with my hercules mk2
    end i had the same problems!
    with jog, headphones, end general....

    with old drivers 2006 the mk2 work rightly!

    after upgrade to drivers 2007, the firmware is 13.6.
    with drivers 2006 the firmware is 12.6

    in website of hercules, says 13.7!

    why??

    with drivers 2007, the jog without "overlock" not work normaly
    but with drivers 2006 work, with "overlock" end without "overclock"!

    why?

    (sorry for my bad english)

    You can't download DJcel mapper because is only for Professional user (3 stars), if you want to be PRO http://www.virtualdj.com/purchase/discount.html ;)

    for some odd reason on my hercules console. I cant hear anything when i switch between deck a and deck b. I can only hear when i put it on mix and when its on split only the right side plays.

    heya,,,just a quick question.. i think my mk2 is starting to malfunction as a soundcard.. As a hardware it still werk greats but as i use it as a a main controller n mixer , whenever i hear tru the headphone input..it sound really bad. very distorted n noisy.. ( this applies to deck a, deck b, mix n split mode).. This really pissed me off. I had this MK2 for a year plus n not really sure how to sent it for repair. This started recently after i download the 2007 drivers, which later i decided to switch back to the 2006 drivers. So any ideas?
