Topic: Adjust BPM on Pitch Slider - Page: 2

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Really? Because I thought I heard a difference in sound quality when I had the pitch range set at 25% as opposed to 12%. 12% sounded crisper to me, or am I mistaken? I DJyed with records for over 10 years. Thanks.
 
a song playing at plus 4 pitch sounds no different when the range is 6 percent or 100 percent.
 
Indeed, the pitch range makes no difference to the sound quality.
6% is 6%, no matter the pitch range.

For beat-matching, songs will stay beat-matched as well if you move both songs with a certain %. (pitch +0.1% on both decks will keep the bpm the same if they were the same to start with)

That being said, as i already mentioned in the wishes forum, "pitch +0.05 bpm" works as well.
It does not make much sense to do this from a functional perspective (since you would get a lower precision on a low-bpm track compared to a high-bpm track), and for keeping songs synchronized it would also not work if one had double the bpm of the other, but I can understand that you prefer this from an OCD-perspective.
 
Thanks. That's solves my problem then. I'll just leave pitch range at 25%.

I have another question please. I just bought a new laptop and had to re-download Virtual DJ 8. For some reason, when I press the number pad on my laptop it doesn't correspond to the sampler. On my old laptop it did this automatically ( #1 played sample 1, #2 played sample 2, etc.). On my new laptop all numbers activate the loop function.

How do I map the sampler to correspond with my number pad?

Thanks.
 
sounds like you had a custom mapping on your old machine, easiest thing to do would copy your mapping from your old machine to your new machine.

but here is an example script for pad 1

sampler_play_stop 1
 
Great, so I reassigned the keys on my keyboard mapping. Here's what I did:

This worked to play the samples from the number pad, but when I press them again it doesn't stop the sample. It used to do this. Can you please tell me how to set up the sampler to both play and stop the sample from the number pad? Thanks.
 
See the example above, that shows play and stop on the same button.
 
Yep, got my setup back to the way I like it. Thank you so much.
 
cool, i'd advise you take a look into the vdj video about the sampler, things like sample groupings can really change the way you work with the sampler.
 
Thanks for your help, as far as the sampler videos, I have watched them and their very helpful. I have another question if you don't mind:

I record mixes live in Virtual DJ 8 using my Mixtrack pro 2 and then transport them to Audacity. After their Audacity I add microphone and samples to make a radio show. I have a question about recording my microphone in Virtual DJ 8. My settings are usually like this; . However, whenever I try to record my microphone from Virtual DJ 8, as a master recording, as a microphone recording, or an Audacity recording, the sound always sounds muffled and not very good. I have a decent SHURE microphone so I don't think it's the mic. Tell me, how do you record decent sounding microphone recordings using Virtual DJ 8? Thank you.
