This is not much help, but I can sympathize with you. I have a BCD2000 and the headphone and microphone ports do not work when I use it as a controller only. I think it works if I use it as a sound card, but I do not know. I would love to use my sound card for the main sound and BCD2000 as my controller and use the headphone and microphone connections perfectly. That would be a dream for an upcoming event I am playing at. I need to cue up the upcoming songs and right now I blindly go into each song. Right now I am deciding on whether on using Virtual DJ or other programs since I really need that to work before the next event. Actually, that is one of the reasons I stopped using Virtual DJ for months and I now started posting back in the forums.

If anyone can help us, that would be great.
 
I wish Xylio or Behringer was nice enough to give out the details of the BCD2000 because in FutureDecks Pro my BCD2000 has the headphone, microphone inputs, analog inputs and master out work fine. Too bad the program is not that good other than that. The scratching does not feel right, no crossfader control, etc. I could go on forever. I am in love with Virtual DJ.
 
 
With that xml fire the headphone cue will work? What does it change from the default settings?
 
In sound setup in the second combo you have to select headphones and speaker, in the last,bcd3000 asio driver.
 
It works that way? I thought it did not work doing it that way either. Thanks, I will try it soon.
 
Yes, that's the only way to listen in headphones.
 
I tried the Traktor 3.2.2 Demo. They said in the trailer that it is fully compatible with the BCD2000, yet I tried it and nothing happens when I use the buttons. No preset is even in the default folder for the BCD2000. They need to make it easier to use. I used preset files from the Internet but it tells me to run another program and load MIDI rules, etc. It does not work right with just the preset file. No video scratching either.

All this work for a fully compatibile product?

No, thank you. I will stick to Virtual DJ, the only program I actually felt worthy enough to buy even after testing the full version. I will have to wait until Virtual DJ gets fixed or a new fully compatible All-In-One controller is released.
 
Well, I guess that's something tanzi needs to know hehe.

"In sound setup in the second combo you have to select headphones and speaker, in the last,bcd3000 asio driver."

Im confused, can you please explain?
 
@djxtortion

  1. Open up the "Settings" window by clicking on "CONFIG".
  2. Go to the "Sound Setup" tab.
  3. Under "Outputs :", select "HEADPHONES".
  4. Under "Sound card(s) :", select "ASIO DRIVER".
  5. Under "ASIO driver :", select "BCD 2000 ASIO"
  6. Leave the "Output channels :" selection as it is.

Oh wait, if you want to assign the "on air" button to it's designated feature you might open yourself a good bottle of wine in the meantime. Or maybe -> buy a winery, because it might take very much longer than you thougth ;))


Yeah, the microphone will not work whatever I try so far. I can hook up the microphone to my sound card and manually mute and unmute through the Windows sound volume window. The BCD2000 2.1 Mapper assigns the "On Air" button to something else. I love the default settings of the mapper so I see no need to change it as of right now.

Come on guys, dont tell me 45min are too long for a PC-DJ to set up his Software like he want's to use it.
What do you do if you buy a new car or something else? Dont you ever read a manual?


I have been spending these last two days (At least 10 hours each day) setting up VirtualDJ for my next event.

I always read manuals. One of my habits is to fully read a manual after testing the product to see if it was worth the purchase. Why read a full manual if the product stinks at first?

Also, I feel like I was lied to by the Traktor team for advertising the BCD2000 as compatible. At least in VirtualDJ, it works pretty well with no intervention from the user other than enabling it.
 
@djxtortion

yes, if you plan to use the headphones with the console you have to set your configuration that way.
 
@Staff

Please dont misunderstand my compare to other software. the reason is that some here keep on telling that all problems are caused by behringers hardware. so im just reminding that this cant be true if it works with your competitors.

Sorry to disagree with you, but you promised FULL support for the BCD before it was even in stock. (At this time V3.2 if i remember)

As of now, there are more important issues to address that concerns all users. Working on Asio mic is a bit down the priority list, sorry.

Thats what you are saying now for at least 1 1/2 years. Don't you think yourself that this rings a little hollow to the BCD users who bought your Soft, the BCD (or maybe both) because of the first promises. If your promise to FULL & NATIVE support for the BCD was a little overhasty, i think you should not shift the responsibility on to someone else.

Some time ago you wrote that there is a way to use the Win-Mic an route it through the BCD. I asked meny times for a exact explanation to this but unfortunately got no answer. Maybe this is the right time now?

Hope that you understand the annoyance of some of the BCD owners and we did not have to wait for ASIO-IN support another 1 1/2 years.


Kind regards,

Thanks for your adult response, and we totally understand your frustrations.

Asio Mic is not ruled out of course, and reason it hasn’t been added yet, is first of all a matter of priority.
And during the period you describe, the priority was to make a mac version, fix a few very urgent bugs, make Numark versions, and PCDJ VJ versions etc. I hope you understand that its been very hard work, and very hectic period of development.

As of the matter of the word native support, we mean by that, that the controller will work as a controller for VirtualDJ, without the need to use 3rd party mappers etc. We did post that this would not include the mic asio input, and you can do a forum search to find it.

If we have been unclear about the mic part, we apologize. And its possible it will be added soon.

The Windows mic route, it will possibly not work, as Windows also need to add mic asio support, and that might not be present.
But you can always ask Behringer to update the drivers, so that Windows can use the mic (and by that VirtualDJ too)

 
You did not talk about specially about the mic, thats right. But you might understand that "Full support" sounds to us like support to all features a controller has.
I'm also understanding that there have been a lot of important development in the past time. Hopefully we will not have to wait another 1 1/2 years 'till full ASIO support for VDJ is at the top of the list ;)

BTW Windows recognises the BCD's mic-in if you go to systems-tab an do an input configuration. Too sad that its unable to route it back trough VDJ's soundengine.

At least i'm pleased to meet someone here who is open for a clear word, even if it is displeasing.

Kind regards
Tanzi
 
 
Hi,guys!There is one more problem with vdj5 and bcd 3000 headphones...when I did everything as you said,everything was good for 20seconds and then both players stops playing!What's that?Can anybody help?!
 
conflicts with behringer's chipset and your motherboard or graphic card, they are usually the main problems with bcd2000/3000.
