Topic: Can't broadcast or record using "master + mic" or "line in"

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

This just started happening since I upgraded to snow leopard today. I found I can't broadcast or record using "master + mic" or "line in" setting...it just sits at "waiting to start" (regardless of whether autostart is selected). Everything seems to work fine if I just use "master" only. I thought it was an issue with my mic since I have to use a usb mic (non pro macbook) when I'm not using my decks and mixer, but doesn't seem to matter.

Like I said, worked fine with Tiger. Also using 6.0.2. Anyone else have this problem or can confirm it on their rig?

Confirmed the problem exists in 10.6
 
Any chance this is going to be remedied for 6.0.3 or is this something that apple has to fix in Snow Leopard. If it's not me, this must be a serious flaw for anyone using a mac that broadcasts. Any suggestions in the mean time if I want to broadcast or record with my mic or line in?
 
Having exactly this problem, updated to 6.0.3 - no changes: I can hear the microphone, but as soon as I'd like to record it, recording stays at "Waiting to start"...please help very urgently, as I have to do a radio show this friday, 20th of november (on virtual dj radio)

The only thing I've been able to do to remedy this problem is to load up VDJ in winblows under bootcamp, which I don't like doing...I shouldn't be required to use a Windows version of an application to get the functions of a program that also has an OS X counterpart.

I really don't want to have to downgrade to Leopard. Its unfortunate that the product support response is non existent for a nearly $400 application. While this may be a Snow Leopard issue and not VDJ, some acknowledgment from Atomix that they're working on the problem would be comforting
 
any news on this issue?
 
Does anybody found a solution
 
I'm new.

So I bought a RMX, running the trial of VDJ Pro, and can not record. Has this issue been resolved or did I just waste a bunch of money on this setup?
 
What is the change in this set up because I tried it before & gave up without question?

Virtual DJ PRO - Record the microphone input in the mix

Before attempting to record the microphone, it is important to understand the
various modes available in regards to the DJ Console Rmx.

Talk Over: This mode is enabled when pressing button Mic On/Off. The signal of
the microphone is automatically sent to Output 1-2 of the Rmx, along with the main
mix. This is useful when you want to talk to the audience to over the music, which
level will be reduced according to amount selected in the control panel.
However, in this mode, the microphone input cannot be recorded as the software
doesn’t get the microphone signal.

Hardware Mix mode: This function in the control panel does essentially the thing
as the Talk Over function, but without the level attenuation. It can also be applied to
the Line In 1-2 input.
Again, this mode is not to be used as the software doesn’t get the microphone
signal.

In order to be recorded, in Virtual DJ (or other applications), your
microphone has to be configured as an External Source, in the
similar way you would use a CD player or a turntable.

NOTE: For this example, Virtual DJ Pro v6.07 (PC) will be used, but the
procedure is the same under OS X

1- Connect your microphone to the DJ Console Rmx the top or front microphone
input.

2- Launch Virtual DJ

3- Open the CONFIG menu. Under Sound Setup, select the DJ Console Rmx as
soundcard, then check the box Apply EQ on external inputs.
Click APPLY to confirm the configuration.

4- Open DJ Console Rmx control panel and set the MIC as sound source on Input
1-2.

Important: This must be done AFTER VirtualDJ is launched, since the software
sets the Line-In as default input on channel 1-2 on start up.

5- Load on deck B (right) the music track you want to play, and place the crossfader
in central position between deck A and deck B.

6- Turn On the external source by pushing the Source 1 button
on DJ Console Rmx. Using the microphone, you should hear your
voice in the mix.

7- First adjust the microphone level using the Mic Volume knob,
then, use the Gain knob if necessary.
You can also modify the equalisation using the deck’s Bass, Medium and Treble
controls.

8- Once you are happy with the configuration, go to the Record tab, and click on
the CONFIG button.

Select Record from Master, then OK.

When ready, press Start Recording.
Type the name for the file that will be created, and click on Save to start recording.
You can now record your voice on the microphone and music playing on Deck B.
When you are done, press Stop Recording.

9- Switch off the external source (Source 1 button, LED Off), when
you want to use Deck A for playing MP3s.

Remark: for a standard use: if your microphone output volume is too low when
used on DJ Console Rmx in Talk-Over mode, you can also use the same process
(steps 3 to 6) to get a louder output volume. In this way, you lose the talk-over
mode, but you get an additional software gain.

Unfortunate you lose deck 1 for mp3 mixing while using source input 1 for the mic but it works this way anyways.
