Topic: How do I completely mute the jogwheel / disable scratch / etc.?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I don't want there to be any noise when I touch the jog wheel, drag the readout, jog the track in any way, spin backwards or forwards, etc. I don't want to ever hear the scratch noise. I know the enabling "SmartScratch" will mute backspin noise, but I want to mute forward-spin noise as well. Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to do it without using plug-ins? I'm not able to download plug-ins, skins, etc.

Put the jogwheel into CD mode and it will pitch bend instead. Press the VINYL or SCRATCH button if the controller has one (If not, this may be on the skin instead.)

Make sure that keylock is also turned on (Depending on the version of VirtualDJ, this will avoid the audible pitch bend sound.)
 
I enabled CD mode in the preferences, but I didn't notice any difference - jogging forward still produces the same noise. I have KeyLock and SmartScratch enabled. I don't have a controller, just the Virtual DJ skin. I don't see a 'vinyl' or 'scratch' button. There's a scratch panel, along with a mixer panel, but there's nothing on there that seems to help.
 
Sorry, it's not possible to do this for jogwheels on the default skin.

The simplest option would be to use a custom skin that doesn't have jogwheels (You will need to be a registered licensed user who has purchased VirtualDJ to be able to download custom skins.)

Or you could edit the default skin to remove the joghweel's <scratch> zone.

Yes - don't touch the jog wheel!

I'm curious. You seem to want to be able to use the jog wheel, but not hear the sound of you doing it. Can I ask why? Seems a bit of a bizarre request, as that's the normal behaviour of a jog wheel.
 
I don't touch the jog wheel, but I want to be able to jog backwards and forwards without a loud screeching sound. I usually drag the readout thing. I'm trying to mix songs together. Jogging helps with this.
 
 
don't you have a volume slider or a crossfader?
