So I just bought this its my first controller Im trying to map my deck to a program and Traktor 2 is just being a bitch. I have virtual DJ and it auto maps but does not get all the knobs and buttons automatically. Did you get Serato or are you still useing a different program. If you want friend me on facebook Devin C. Grobbel I would really appriciate some input and advice. In the Detroit area iv found a lot of cool people willing to help but you have the same controller I do.
does the numark even come with a power cord, and sorry hha im not good with dj stuff im just now starting but what does the other cords i saw you had go to? and does it work just as well with an ipod as it does with a computer or ipad?
@parkster08 yes it comes with a power cord, those cords where usb, power cord, & speaker cords, and no worries thats why im making these videos for people who are beggining to get into this ....no the ipod plug in only lets you play the songs and does not let you mix directly from the ipod it just works as a dock and recorder .....
after all this i still think torq is the joint hands down, I 've never used serato but i've used all the rest & they are a waist. The only thing I think is cool now is Djay on the mac with the lil hercules controller that's dope
@prayzmanone yea i think torq has the BEST bpm reader 95% of the time there alwaus correct lol.... been thinking about getting that and serato so i could be flexible with all softwares ..... yea that hercules control is wicked ....
@prayzmanone thought i replied guess i ditn lol. but yes hands down torq is a good software has the most ACCURATE bpm counter 98% of the time its right on point , but yea that hercules control is wicked sick .
Quick question to MusicFi3nD02487, How can you record a mix on Virtual Dj + Nuamrk Mixdeck with out hearing the next deck Cuing up on the mix? I tried using wav format and MP3 Format and luck.
@Rayluquin you cant record thru vdj to your computer because the mixer on the mixdeck is analog and not midi therefor it doesnt send data back to the comp. the easiest way is to have an ipod and plug it to your mixdeck and record to that , second way is by going thru the record out into your computer if its set to record like that or have an external recording device ..... hope that helps
@threeonone you could use them thru traktor but not the mixdeck because the hardware in the mixdeck isnt set for traktor ..... im sure you could map it tho but im not to fond with how to do that yet, ill try to see and if i do ill letchu know
I am a noob here. I just bought the mixdeck. Wondering I have the latest version of VDJ LE. I know how to cue up a song, but I cannot seem to hear it in my headphones. I only get the song playing out in both ear pieces. Any help?
@RocketDescends so you are getting no sound out your headphones mix ?? are you turning the cue headphones knob up ?? and the cue source needs to be to ch 1/2 if you dont want the crowd to hear what your loading up to sync next, and master if you want to hear exactly whats coming from your speakers .... if any questions send me a message with more detail if poss.
@MusicFi3nD02487 OMG *facepalm* I feel like an idiot. I had the channel set to master instead of 1/2 like you said. Everything is working fine now lol :D
thx for the info man, that works for me. I think i'm still addicted to Torq though. Traktor kinda has a lot of unnecessary stuff on it but it's still better than Virtual Dj in some ways
@prayzmanone yea i agree m-audio does an excellent job at finding the CORRECT BPM unlike both traktor and vdj , traktor bpms good to an extent, vdj doent really at all lol, and torq ive never used for mixing just to get the correct bpm and its GOOD for that lol but im still yet to buy the software
@ticklekitten sorry for the late reply, if your answer hasnt beem answered yet ill answer it ill answer it tomorrow im not home lol, but as far as i know yes the hot cues should work on flashdrives and hard drives cause the numark is compatible with accepting a mass hard drive .....
@alewis1210 yea it seems that way but practice makes perfect, i use traktor pro & vdj , soon to get into serato, but i prefer traktor because the beat grid lines are far more accurate than the blocks on vdj and the blocks on vdj dont even cue up on the first kick or a snare hit which means you have to mix by ear matching the tempo by ear but its not impossible thats how dj-ing started out with NO SCREEN to see what your beatgriding , ive learned to mix that way when i was stuck with vdj lol ...
@alewis1210 my bad on the late reply been busy ..... ummm yea to my knowledge they dont and i havent updated my numark since the last update couple months back so yea it could be there finally fixing some ISSUES that needed fixing lol.....
@prayzmanone yea traktor scratch pro or pro 2 require turntables and a mixer that you have to own or buy and then you have to buy traktors audio interface and vinyl records they sell, then with the traktor SCRATCH pro 2 software you control whatever digital mp3 trakcs your mixing with the REAL VINYL TURNTABLES giving you the real FEEL and sound of scratching and mixing traks on a vinyl records without having to lug around or buy vinyl after vinyl , lol i hope i made sense
@prayzmanone traktor pro is exactly the opposite of traktor scratch lol you dont need there interface or vinyl records or turntables , if you dont like to scratch when doing mixes or being a scratch dj and just prefer mixing the tracks together without all of that then traktor pro is made specifically for that, having the digital platters and scratching on those is not the same as scratching on Vinyls
Thx for all the info man, I work too much sometimes to figure all this crap out but u the man. And talking to your dog on video is GANGSTA !!! haha DJ Eazy Baton Rouge, La
@prayzmanone lol ur welcome, yea i know how that can be havent been able to videos cause ive been busy lately my self lol gotta make that money, lol ha had to get the rottie in there lol ......
Storing CUE points doesnt work for me. If using normal 700mb R-CDs on witch i burned the mp3s, playing and everything works fine. I can set CUE points but storing doesnt work. If i push the button nothing happens. (Pushing it for 3 seconds is also useless). Do you have any idea on whats the problem or do I have to go to the store?
Hehe learning something new on the go. Anyways i bough Numark mixdeck and am disapointed (kind off) reason is its's not MIDI supported so basically you cant crossfade with a program on a computer (whole mixer,middle part doesnt work). Now my question is can you use crossfader/mixer w/o computer just with speakers.?
@DJDonyk what program are you using , and you could still crossfade with the program just make sure your using the numark mixdecks sounddriver for output routing and you wont see the faders move visually on the computer UI but its fading, yes you could use the mixer w/out computer and just speakers, im going to be posting more videos subscribe if you want, hope that helped and anything else just ask away lol
@MusicFi3nD02487 yeh am using Virtual DJ, and if you can somehow show or give a link to Screenshot or video on your setup for crossfading options, because i'm getting nowhere with it lol. Thx in advance!
