Topic: Analog Vinyl with VDJ and Hercules MK4

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello,

I have Virtual DJ LE running on the Mac, as well as 2 Technics 1200's plugged into my MK4. Audio comes from VDJ through the MK4 just fine but i can not mix in the vinyl tables at the same time. Is there any way to have the VDJ mp3 music PLUS my 2 turntables all enabled in my setup?

When i was mucking with with the MK4 driver i did get the sound to come through from one of the vinyl turntables, but the fader had no effect, it almost was like the MK4 wasnt controlling it.

Any ideas?

You would need VDJ Pro to have multiple decks at once ( 2 external sources and 2 MP3).

Since VDJ LE allow only 2 decks, you can either:

- play 2 externals or 2 internal (MP3)

- 1 external + 1 Internal

As for the configurationfor extermal sources, be sure that in the MK4 control panel, in the Advanced tab, Hardware Mixing is set to USB 1/2 (Default)

Then when in VDJ , you can switch between external and Internal by pressing the Source Button on the console.
 

Cool, thanks. For some odd reason i had to use input 3/4 instead of 1/2 and now it seems to be working.

So with VDJ Pro 7 i can have 2 MP3 + 2 Vinyl Analog and switch between them using source ?

It doesnt look like the MK4 Control Panel supports this setup which is why I ask.

Thanks

Let me be more precise, as this configuration is done by VDJ and not the control Panel:

- VDJ 7 Pro Full allow you to use up to 99 decks, so you could have 4 decks going at the same time without having to switch between internal and external, as if you had 4 sources connected to a mixer, and assign them to a side of the crossfader.

For example, Deck A & B would be playing MP3, while Deck C & D would be used for the turntables connected to the inputs.

Obviously, you would need to modify the controller mapping to be able to use the MK4 to control multiple decks.

- With VDJ LE being limited to 2 deck, you need to use the Source buttons to alternate between internal and external.
