    That's called staggering, it's not a bad beatmix. Staggering gives the sound a more echoing effect by adding a slight delay rather than a flanging effect which is more tightly beatmatched with even less delay.
    You're not the only one who has mentioned that but there are more ways than one to make sound effects other than using the mixers effects or buttons on the software interface. That's the way we did it with vinyl and it still works with CD & MP3.

    I'm using two laptops. One for gigging and the other for practice and everything else. Google Toshiba Qosmio X305 Q708 and X305 Q705.
    My USB hub is a seven port powered hub. There is no lag or latency whatsoever. Just make sure it's powered and a high speed USB 2.0. The Serato unit should be plugged direct, everything else is OK in the hub.

    Hello Paul I'm a aspiring DJ, barely got my feet in the water, and I have to say thank you very much. Though I still need to some how acquire all this equipment, once I do I'll use what you just showed us a few years ago. I really enjoy your channel and have subscribed thank you very much!

    Virtual DJ 5.2.1 for Mac is extremely stable. I have many friends who use it with their Macs and run very successful shows using it.

    Using Virtual DJ with the CDJ-400s is exactly the same as using CDs or Vinyl. The music doesn't play through the laptop top, it plays through the CDJ-400s so that you can connect them to a mixer which is connected to your amp & speaker system. The laptop is only used to control the software and provide the music, it then passes through the CDJs like as if it were CDs...

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    I am not experiencing ANY latency issues at all. I set up my system at a gig and it's good to go everytime. What are the specs on your computer and are you using a legit or cracked version of VDJ? This makes a huge difference

    No, the signal processors are not needed at all for your RMX, or mixer or anything. I only use them to add reverbs and harmonies to vocals in karaoke. Your EQ processes the output sound frequencies, that way you can contour the spectrum of sound for the room you're plying in.
    I have a dbx DriveRack auto-EQ with a RTA mic that does this automatically.
    Don't worry about DSPs, they are superfluous and not needed for your application.

    Yes, as long as it is MIDI capable. Virtual DJ allows instant plug and play with any MIDI controller.
    DJ RuDe

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    Yes, they are still assigned through the "F" keys. Virtual DJ 6.++ is also fully Midi-mappable meaning you can assign any keyboard keys and buttons on your player to do what you want them to do.

    @RudeDog66 You are wrong, if you want to use Serato Scratch Live with the CDJ-400/850/900/2000 you will still need the Serato box but you will not need the time code disc. It doesn't control Serato via midi but though HID which is something that Pioneer created. You will still need the Serato box to make Serato active and to transfer the audio to your mixer.

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    Yes, they will work with any non-USB CD players or turntables, but you have to have a timecode interface box and timecode CDs. The Numark Virtual Vinyl package or Serato SL1 package is what you will need in order to use your CDJ-1000s. The Virtual Vinyl package comes with Virtual DJ (Cue, same thing) at no extra charge.

    hey bud great video, finally about to buy such setup,......................quick question whats the specs on your laptop to see if i have the right specs to run it on mine, also i realize you are running the cdj's through a USb hub??? how is that working for you?? is it flawless, no lag??? thanks again

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    Yes, it 'spretty pricey but the other one is what I use for gigging and it's a dual core and it's less than $1500 USD. You can find a laptop for running VDJ that's dual core 3 gigs of ram and has a decent video card for about $799 USD and probably less.
    I get no interference or any other problems running hard drives through my powered USB 2.0 hub and I have three externals connected among other things! I have 3.5 terabytes of hd space!

    I would get the DJM-700 of the 2 due to the effects and extra channels. The difference between the Serato SL1 and SL3 is is 24 bit sound over 16 bit, USB 2.0 over 1.1 and the ability to record or add a third deck as well as the SP-6 sample player.

  • @djgeeter
    @djgeeter 13 років тому

    I agree as a dj I have to use my own custom set-up, it's like riding someone else's skateboard in a contest, and the trucks are too loose, you're gonna skate like shit. same goes for mixing, I love my cdj 400's I LOVE EM

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому +1

    I'm not sure I understand your question. I mix using the controllers not with a keyboard and mouse. I'm an old vinyl user from the 80's so I actually know how to use turntables and CDJs. The software is a just a more convenient way to play these days. No crates of vinyl, not books of CDs, just hard drives.
    I still beatmatch using the sliders on the CDJs, not the Sync button, I scratch and do other tricks with the CDJs, so yes, I actually use the them, not the mouse & keyboard.

    @MarinBareta 15 років тому

    i had the older version of vdj and it didnt work with my players... after installing new vdj everything works fine..
    i wasnt asking about your beatmatching ;)
    are you satisfied with vdj and cdj 400? i think that latency is big and i use my cds and usb sticks...
    but it would be cool to come to a gig and just open up my laptop and i got everything ready to go :)
    cheers

  • @RudeDog66

    Rude, i have decided to go with the system finally, like i said upgrading from hercules rmx. I currently dj at two clubs weekly in my city,..............so need to get more professional system and use hercules for video mostly!
    I have one last question to ask though,............ On this setup is it still possible to trigger your samples from the F-Keys on your laptop??? i mean do they still when they are assigned to them?????

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  13 років тому

    @SingJiya Depends on your idea of heavy?! I personally love it and feel like a lot is missing when I'm using someone else's stuff. I custom built and designed it to my exact standards and desires.

  • @RudeDog66

    You will need to use a timecode solution such as a Serato box & time code CDs or virtual Vinyl since the C314 is not a USB MIDI controller.

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    What type of CDJs are they? If they are 800s or 1000s you will need a timecode soundcard and timecode CDs. A Serato SL1 or Numark Virtual Vinyl set up contains everything you need.
    DJ RuDe

  • @simonpridmore08
    @simonpridmore08 15 років тому

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    Yes, that's correct but you will need the timecode CDs as well as the interface box, such as a Serato SL1 or Numark Virtual Vinyl...
    DJ RuDe

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  13 років тому

    @Samsunglee93 No, you need a software controller like my CDJ-400s not a DJM-400 which is a mixer. You do not need an SSL box for VDJ when using CDJ-400, 350, 900 & 2000s...

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  13 років тому

    @MikeyBreaks We were not talking about Serato Scratch Live, this video is about Virtual DJ. Some people still don't understand that CDJ-400/350/900/2000s don't need a sound card with VDJ because these CDJs have their own sound card built in. However I did a video about using these CDJs with Serato Scratch Live and in the video I explain that you must have a Serato box like my SL3. That video is here on my channel if you look through my list of videos.
    DJ RuDe
    Keep Spinnin'!!

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    No, only CDJ-400s, 900s & 2000s will work because they are USB/MIDI/HID controllers. CDJ-800 & 1000s do not have USB control. You can however use a timecode solution to make it work

  • @RudeDog66
    @RudeDog66  15 років тому

    @ef6854 With CDJ-800s there is no USB so you will need a timecode solution such as Numark's Virtual Vinyl or a Serato SL-1, these have a USB interface that controls the software

    VDJ 6+ needs no assignments for CDJ-400s, it is automatically detected and is plug and play. Follow the soundcard settings I outlined in the PM to make sure your sound settings are correct and you are good to go!

    connected everything like you said
    however a small problem... virtualdj seems to read be reading the same sound card.. not seeing any difference or number in the different options for 2 soundcard (Pioneer 850) shown for both no difference so i assume it is the same.. sound comes only from on channel too... any ideas how i can get both soundcards to be picked up?

    With Virtual DJ you only need one hard drive for both CDJ-400s to share. Without software then you would need two because they don't link.

    If you want to play CDs you have to put your CDJ-400s in CD mode. If that doesn't work it's because you don't have your 400s connected to an external amp & speakers. CDs will not play through the computer!
