Hercules RMX scratch f DJ Heartless using Virtual DJ 5.2

[steve702]

I noticed that the scratch button isn't on. how are you scratching with this feature turned off? Please respond thanks.

[bartiiiooo]

how you scratch if it isn't a touch sensitive jog wheel? because you first have to stop the wheel spinning and then the music stops

[chuckno9]

Have you guys checked out this faker yet?

[jhooks3000]

Dude what are you settings for scratching? Every time I try to scratch on virtual dj, the cross-fader latency is too apparent!

[djkavika]

@jhooks3000 I was using VirtualDJ 5.2 at the time. I don't know how good it works now with the newest version of VDJ and driver since I now longer own the unit, but at that time I had to manually midi map the hercules and disable the "native" mapping for it built into virtualdj. Otherwise it lagged bad. I had the latency set to 1 ms, which is like 8 ms compared to other high end audio cards.

[djkavika]

It was the default settings in 5.2, not any custom settings like in VDJ6.x I have no luck other than the default config on 6.x on any midi controller.

[bruninhofarias]

Scratch when I do, I'll jog to the next as he changes a crossfader automatically

someone knows how to solve?

[hcoprdice]

Hey DJ Kavika, that is some tight scratching. I also have the RMX and was wondering what you have your sensibility set at on the jogwheels. I have been looking for just the right setting to make it sound like real record scratching, and it seems that you nailed it. Please advise.

[weedlywah]

Hey how did you guys get the video to blink vinyl when you were scratching?

[djkavika]

@weedlywah When you move the fader it sends a signal(midi) to virtualdj to switch left / right audio and video.

[Jabylayk93]

Haha now got the RMX and scratching already dudes !

and funny vid with toilet paper dude!)

[MrDjblueboy]

hey can you tell me how did you get your video to another screen?

[hooniecheeb]

hahahahahahahaa

[mrvicvic02]

hey kavika wich controler do you recomend? hercules o M-audio xponent

[mrvicvic02]

hey bro can you tellme how to change the skin 4 vdj like yours

[mcpheat1]

@mrvicvic02 you need to upgrade to PRO before you can apply different skins.. and thats like an extra 200 quid.

[texasdjboy10]

that shit was nice man

[GbH2K9]

traktor........theres no comparison!

[NicholasKei]

RMX is my first deck.... but now i have numark ns7... is real better, much better!!

[Slugg329]

why do u think the NS7 is an extra $800?

[Jhonatan5]

i Agree, is the same, if says :"I have now CDJ 2000", is better. lol

[bestro770]

i need a good place 2 download misic video.somewhere safe.any help

[djgattuso21]

como haces para ver los videos en la tv??? como haces que solo aparezcan los videos en la pantalla

[cece948]

salut cool

[djfishing316316]

hercules rmx is not so good i have one the scrach is shi..ht en all time is freeze i wana buy numark NS7 the is 100% better vrs hercules rmx

[dj4monie]

Then re-install the drivers or get a more powerful laptop, I have no problems.... Go ahead and spend $1200 if you want though

[jwmtanner1]

i bought one a few months back (used to dj on cdj's) - its very nice to b able to take all ur music wit u wherever u are, good quality, easy to use but i'd recommend u get traktor for it. if ur just lookin for some decent, low priced system - fantastic piece of kit!

[dj4monie]

What's wrong with VDJ? Traktor is okay I mean if you wanna spend no money on software you can get Mixxx and use that. You have to configure all the buttons though as I wasn't able to find a default setup for it. But hey free is good (be sure to donate). Otherwise the Pro vDJ v6 is the Shhhh, net search is great. I wanna upgrade! :( Maybe next month

[skatesnowboy]

i have the one from the vid

i like the thing u did with the crossfader...

only i need some strait forward songs to with no singing to make som remixes... know any?? send me a message

[JSTDG88]

I definitely recommend it if your starting out. I bought as my first set up and it served me well.

[ForTheLoveOfBoxing]

yo im starting off would i only need this or what. do i need anything else just for practicing

[JSTDG88]

You need the Hercules RMX, a laptop with at least 500 mb of memory, a pair of speakers with stands, an amplifier, a good pair of Headphones, and lots of cables (1/4 inch, XLR, etc.) All of those and your good to go.

[djnc3000]

The RMX is just behind the vestax vci-300 as the best controller out there but if you are just starting out download the free virtual dj yeah you dont have a controller but its fun to start with (which I did) if you have a limited budget (as did I) because the vestax vci-300 is $900 and the RMX is $350 or if you want you could get the numark total control because it has the controller, soundcard, and software for $300 but at that price you should get the RMX because i have it and love it

[riotgear]

yo could you upload the first whistle sample u are using to scratch? would appreciate it

[djkavika]

Check out the scratch vid I posted on my "more from..". I tried reply to this post with the link, but it doesnt look like its posting.

[neger000001]

hey , im Dj Maok and i have work with hercules when i was 10! now i work with my technics turntables or my pioneer single cd players! So i think that hercules its good for learn if you dont use sync! but if you want to be a profesionel dj you dont use hercules! good bye!

[djkavika]

This is one of my MANY different mixers I use to DJ around here. I currently use a Korg Zero4, Xone3D, M-Audio Xponent and Hercules MKII. I use all of them to DJ for many clubs around here, so I consider them to be all professional gear- cheap plastic or 20 pounds of metal. Its not about what the tool you use, its about how you use it!

[kricotoy]

firts i know turnstables are better than mixing with mp3 and sync with hercules

but vinyls are too fucking xpensive to buy

i will say fuck vinyls and go hercules mp3!!! BYAWAY!

i was a pro with turntables

[djkavika]

I have CDJ-800's I use with the mixers. Sometimes I just don't feel like carrying all that crap with me, I just bring a controller with me. For the most part, people don't care if you scratch or not. They just want to hear music they like and can dance to. Of course there's always some peckerhead that like, "Oh where's all your stuff? I DJ with this and that." Then my reply is "Where do you work again?"

[djlos422]

@djkavika I'm a working dj'n N i get tired of carrying my stuff around but i would never consider buying one of these lil wanna be dj gadgets...its a square box with buttons takes the whole point out of dj'n..... i love my mk2's and serato never would go different.........

[DJcavitt]

@djkavika hahaha exactly!

[1nnovate]

@kricotoy You know you can use programs like serato, torq, traktor, and virtual dj with regular turntables? Look those up and become educated, my son.

[canna321]

@kricotoy If you were a pro with turntables than you never said "fuck vinlys and go hercules" Think before you say something....

[ducknzie]

@canna321 hhahaha u owned kricotoy... ;DDDDD I will never sell my technics mk2... =S

[ducknzie]

@kricotoy Thats why u can buy Traktor Scratch and turntables and u will mix on vinyls but that is mp3... Imo not mp3 , wave always.

[phunkedupvideo]

@kricotoy Yeah Vinyl is bank.... 10 to 15 a 12" 20 to 25 a LP 2x12.... Damn straight when you can get music for free.... Terabytes for free.... LOL

[djkavika]

Practice, practice, practice.

[giovannir8]

yea but do u need other equipment besides the mixer and virtual dj??

[giovannir8]

i neeeedd 2 learn how 2 spin wittha hercules rmx.. do u need any other plug ins or programs??.. or can u just scratch like that off the back??..

please help

G-O

[naturefreedom]

A yo his skills are ok but, check out DJ Dow Jones Scratching on this thing...Insane!!

[djwichoyankee]

What laptop are you using ?

[djkavika]

Dell XPS1330 w Windows 7

[djkavika]

Music is stored on the computer. It is just a sound card with some midi controls.

[grenadezeroone]

Man you rock. I've been trying to scratch on the RMX with VDJ6 and I'm having a hell of a time. The crossfader seems weird compared to the mixer I use with my vinyl decks. I tried all 3 settings on it... I dunno. Maybe I just need to practice with it more.

[petenicezz]

do you store you music on the console or on a portable harddrive. cause i have my music in my laptop and it tends to skip a little

[Thedjdan1]

I Will have mine this friday and i Will do Some oriental-electro mixes dj dan's!!

[blakie18]

when u bought the hercules rmx did it come with any rca cables or usb cord?

[christophur87]

thats pretty bad ass

[djkaneck1]

Nice technique with that RMX. Love the fact you didn't play weak ass Club music to showcase it's potenial. Love the scratching. So when you're slip cueing, does it hold the record like real turntables or does hold it for a sec like the MKII then continue to play?

[Robba079]

im having a bit of trouble with scratching, people scratch way different like me when i check out other videos. Okay, you load the track on deck A and B. u press play on the B deck, and you use the jogwheel on deck A and the crossfader to scratch? I wont get the same result as others..or did you load up the song on deck A and scratch on deck A?

[djkavika]

They are:

M-AUDIO BX 5 STUDIOPHILE powered speakers

[mrwalklate]

alright bruv what are them speakers?

[Artofacks1]

Hello Kavika, I got my RMX and been trying to use it with my Mac Book Pro for 2 days now. I installed drivers and vdj, i connect the usb to the macbook and i can control vdj with the RMX. However, I hear no sound. Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

[djkavika]

I dont know what to tell you maine. No Macs over here.

[babooningsten]

wen u download vdj make sure u download the mac version. thats all i can say lmao

[JSTDG88]

The PC version isn't that bad. lol. J/K your not lieing, I have a PC and it kinda fucks up a bit, but it has always done me a lot of justice.

[kyrillfuhgawz]

Hi Arto, You must connect it whit an sound system whit your output 1-2 from you rmx

[JSTDG88]

Hey whats good bro, did you happen to get sound yet from your computer. If not check the settings on virtual dj. I had the same problem.

[djkavika]

Why dont you get off the toliet and post a video since your so cool.

[leon118247]

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah­hahahahahahha no ofence but this is ******* **** dude..... my 2 yr old bro can do berrer

[tunying21]

[tunying21]

yeah how to configure or what settings i need to do?

[vittovetton]

[JSEProduction]

I tought you couldnt scratch for shit in this.

[JesusJuarez15]

hey!! i got the same console if i wanna mix videos on a projector how do i make it to where they will only see the video not my desktop? do u jus connect the projector to my out put on my laptop?

[boket5u]

connect it to your VGA, Svideo, or HDMI output

[djGisberto]

G R E A T T T ! ! !

[motocross996]

what's the speaker you use ?

[southside1415]

hey how do u configure the RMX crossfader to b more sensitive so that you can cut easier when scratching?

[harrowrudeboy]

its in options

[InKiSiDoR18]

How much RAM...needs my computers for do all of that stuff!

[iguala05]

how do you connect this because ive been tryin to connect mines for 3 days n i alot of static comes out, i cant figure out how to hear one song in the headfones and the other out of my speakers

[djvarweezy]

Hey nice work. I just got a hercules rmx but i dont have the driver software so i cant use it. you think u can help me out?

thanks.

[MoAnthemzEnt]

good work my man...definitely the best scratch video for the hercules rmx.

[djkavika]

You have to switch it to midi mode

[noudo]

Do you have any problems with your fader in scratch mode. I've heard sometimes it won't cut fully.

[ehfucko666]

Nice technique put into your scratching man!!!

How did you manage to get the video effects to work on your Vdj? Im running 5.2 pro and it seems to not like to run.

[Jstyl3s]

does this mixer work with any other software?

[JonRmusic]

Yea, traktor, you just gotta config it. :) check out my channel! :)

[djkavika]

thats the one and only dj heartless for you. you can check out his myspace page. actually i think his myspace is still listed under dj klipse. but check it out, he has some remixes uploaded on there

[RuQQuS]

been usin this few times..keep havin volume issues when mixing..when usin the fader to mix, the volume seems to get lower as you get to the middle when both channels are mixin then it will get louder once you move the crossfader all the way to one side...you experience anything like this??

[IggidyO]

what program are you using?

[HannahK697]

That was worth listening too

made me giggle when you were getting into it though

how long you been djing for??

[Lenassatempler]

good job man!!! u'redoing great!!

[djkavika]

Using the pro version of VirtualDJ, plug in a 2nd monitor or TV to your computer.

[SergeantHi5]

That must be tricky, how did you get the video to play on the other monitor?

[djkavika]

the video is actually very easy, just set it up in the configuration. but you need to have version 4.1 or newer. the 5.1 seems to work the best for me. and dont forget to download all of the plugins for scratching and mixing

[DJABARTH]

VERY GOOD!

[mata456]

it looks like ur scratching yo yos. props to to you for scratching on that thing. i think its kooky to scratch on a cdj1000 (7 in platter) much less this thing.

RESPECT!!

[xxzeugxx]

OMG you are so good

[rissacher]

doesnt seem like the cross fader helps on mine

btw nice vid

[abbott912]

same with mine

[rissacher]

yeah i found that you have to set it a certain way to actually notice that it woks, i think. but you can check out my videos that have nothing to do with this if you want.

[harrowrudeboy]

did u set the x fader to scratch in vdj?

[rissacher]

i have no idea.i havent used it since i commented haha. i just cant get any of the music to sound good! any help on that?

[harrowrudeboy]

reset everything so all eq knobs are at 12 o clock. get a cd and rip it with the highest quality settings you can, how do they sound? if they are good then your other traks are just encoded badly. to set it to scratch, go to preferences and under the general settings click the crossfader button until it says scratch (will cycle through smooth, full, cut, scratch, off, etc.)

[rissacher]

ohh well when i use the music off of my laptop, or like anything, it sounds bad, like really skipping. but ill try using a cd.

[harrowrudeboy]

means either ur laptop cannot handle the music played or your laptop isnt configured to run as fast as it can. if its the latter then get someone to look at ur laptop and turn performance to max. if its the former then just means ur laptop cant keep up, only way out of that is upgrade or buy a new one! sorry for the bad news!

[rissacher]

oh great i just bought this laptop like 2 months ago. well maybe its because the music is coming out of an amp?

[PRODUCERMAT]

WOW ! nice one dude :)
