Does VDJ SUPPORT RANE SL4 ????
 
Posted Fri 07 Nov 14 @ 2:40 pm
Yes.
 
I believe it does,,my sl3 works with no problem 👍
 
I'm trying to set it up but it doesnt work :-S, i can't calibrate timecode 2
 
Post up a screenshot of your timecode window.
 








I do not understand why the timecode 1 is ok but in Record: Mixvibes while it is a CD serato

and why it does not detect the timecode 2

I think I made ​​the connection correctly by following the guide VDJ page 99
 
hmm , shouldnt the Channel Thru be Off ? Can you also try with the other Input Channels as well ?

Btw, since we have you here, can you provide us the vid & pid values of the Rane SL4 ? You will find it in Applications->Utilities->System Information ->Hardware folder->USB sub-folder->Click on the Rane SL4 on the right side and post a screenshot if not sure which values we need.
 
Ok i have turn off all the THRU channel , and use this config :




but still got only one deck recognize :-/

i think is that you ask me dad :

 
The diagram shows that you should use Outputs 3,4 and 5,6 and Inputs 3,4 and 5,6 as well, so you probably need to use those in the Audio config.

PS. I have just pushed an update which includes a pre-define audio configuration for the Rane SL4 (available in builds ending at .862 or higher). It should provide a button in the Audio Config with decks 1,2 to Outputs 3,4/5,6 and timecodes to Inputs 3,4/5,6, according to the recommended connection diagram.
 
Also make sure you've set the dip switches on the soundcard correctly for CD/Phono for each channel.
 
Thx for all your good advice , after setting like this



the two timecode work well . You update will be welcome Dad, i waiting for it :-)

What do you think about this way to use the SL4, i have a djm 750 with cdj 2000 Nexus :
 
Is there a reason you don't want to use the CDJ's as controllers and sound cards and get rid of the Rane box?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against timecode. I use it with two of my CDjJ000's. But my CDJ400 I use as a controller.
 
I find that with the RANE SL4 sound quality is really better . I tested different configurations and there is a big difference .
 
If you prefer the sound on the Rane, have you tried using the CDJ's as a controller and the Rane output?
 
Yes i have. And with the rane (with timecode) the sound is really better. I scratch a little bit and when you scratch or doing a backspin you heard the difference.
I know it must be silly using cdj 2000 nexus and don't use it at 100% of its capacity ( as controler) but with this config i think i will be able to mix everywhere on every controler ( just need the rane) .
I have notice that video transition is better too in timecode don't ask me why :-)
