Hi Chaps,
Took delivery of the new rmx console today , however having a few teething probs with the sound.
Everytime a button is pressed or a knob tweaked I keep getting a "pop" . Is there a recommended performances setup for the rmx that will elliminate this issue ?
Cheers

Nice mate, I thought there would be teething problems.
You might have to have a play around with the settings as this is a whole new console, and it could be anything. I think you will have to experiment with it.
BTW, other than your little problem, how is the RMX

Try different latency settings, also experiment with safe mode and overclock and such. Your the first posted as having it..now we get to run to you for advice...not the other way around...lol...have fun with it. |

I'ts looking good jimmy , a little overpriced though for something which I how now found to be essentially a Behringer BCD3000 but with full compatability with VDJ.
Had nightmare getting VDJ to recognise it initially , had to uninstall 5.07 , installl the bundled vdj LE console edition then reinstall 5.07.
Just need to sort out the sound issues but like you say I will just have to experiment with different settings, sure I'll eventually find a cure.
Cheers

Cool mate, I'll be getting one soon, when everybody has sussed it out...hehe
My advice with the pops is try playing around with the Latency of the unit. Might need to increase it to get rid if them.

I am not sure what driver's shipped with the unit. But, Hercules just release new drivers last week [2008-03-21] for their entire console collection. So, the drivers that shipped with the RMX may not be the latest. -- http://ts.hercules.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=2&fid=28&pid=215&cid=1
Also, in the performance tab I would suggest always use Auto for the Latency drop-down. Do not check the Safemode or Overclock.
Let us know how things go... |

I have found a stable setting , which sounds good through preview and home speakers also, will know more Saturday when I use it on one of the rigs.
Here are the settings :
In "performance Settings"
Set the Fastest to Best Quality bar to one notch below Best Quality
Set Latency to auto
Leave both Safe Mode and Overclock unchecked
Set Scratch to Optimise for Latency, check Enhanced Algorithm and Filter Smooth
Low Pass Filter should be checked
Leave Filter Smooth unchecked
Master Tempo is set to Advanced however I left complexity and Spacialisation both to zero
In "remix control panel" (found in windows taskbar)
I set the Audio to AISO mode at 44100Hz sample rate,16-bit Sample Size and 960 (21 ms) Buffer Size.
I downloaded the latest drivers for hercules, but had to also install the bundled LE version of VDJ over the top of 5.07 pro to get the software to recognise the controller.
Hope this is of some use guys, will keep you updated if I come across anything else
Cheers

I have just discovered that when playing karaoke files the pops and crackles re-appear , the way to eliminate this is in the performances setup check the overclock option and set the slider to "fastest" then all should be good. All other settings are the same as i previously posted. |

Now all is sorted , I have to say that the rmx really is the daddy of all controllers, it's the "muts nuts" , it takes VDJ to the next level !, my advice to anyone thinking of gettting one is ....................STOP THINKING AND JUST BUY ONE !!!!

When you change the slider in the Performance tab - please make sure you re-adjust the Latency drop-down to AUTO |

Mine's on order, due tomorrow. Cant wait to try it out now.
However I've a question for any of the teamers out there, I'm currently using a BCD3000 (with moramax's superb mapper) and have bought the RMX to plug both units in and use with a multi instance skin for 4 decks. Any anticipated problems with this, and what would be the best multi instance skin to use? I'm on a laptop so 1280x800 is as high as I can go resolution wise.

Frank
Out of interest, when you uninstalled VDJ to install the LE version, and then reinstalled 5.0.7 over the top, did you have to backup your database or did the installs etc leave it intact?
