Topic: Laptop output with the Rane One MKII
When practicing I set the master output to headphones to which I have two office like speakers with subwoofer. With the MKII, I am unable to perform a full eq kill like with the original Rane One and that includes the "gain/level' knobs which have no effect at all. The software post fader effect function does work although the settings is correct. I thought that those would still work when not using the MKII outputs. Any advice would be appreciated

Rane One MKI used a "software" mixer. Software was doing all the mixing and outputting the sound of the "master" channel back to the console, and/or any other sound interface.

Rane One MKII uses a "hardware" mixer. Software sends the audio of each deck to the console and it's own hardware (firmware) does the mixing. Thus VirtualDJ in this case does not produce a "master channel" audio signal that can send to another audio interface.
Even when you enable a "master" output on the audio setup, the software mixing from the hardware mixing will be different, and the hardware effects of Rane One MKII will not work.


What you can do:
1) Connect your speakers directly to Rane One MKII
2) Connect the "MASTER 2" (unbalanced) output of Rane One MKII to your computer's built in sound interface and then allow the audio from "line in" to be heard on your computer's primary output.
3) Create a custom audio setup that includes a master output, but also create a custom mapper that removes the fake actions from <ONINIT> key. In this case the mixer section will start working properly, BUT the built-in hardware effects will not!
