hi,
i´m gonna buy hercules mk4 and have some doubts.
hope you can help me.
1 - i don´t know if the software which is incluyed permit you to record
and how long (minutes?).
2 - the microphone that you can connect will appear in the recording?
i want it to record a radio program and need the voice and the music.
thank you in advance for your time
Hello,
1) The DJ software included in DJ Console Mk4 is VirtualDJ 6 DJC. It includes the recording (with no time limitation), but not the broadcast over IP (this feature is only in VirtualDJ Pro), and the microphone input is not recorded in VirtualDJ (whatever the version of VirtualDJ, the microphone input is not recorded).
To record the microphone input in VirtualDJ 6 DJC, you must
- start VirtualDJ 6 DJC,
- open DJ Console Mk4 control panel and set the microphone as Source 1 instead of Line 1-2.
- then, click on Source 1 button to use the microphone as replacement of the left deck (instead of playing the microphone over the mix), so that
- you no longer use Mk4 Mic On/Off button, you just use the microphone as Source 1
- you cannot play at the same time the microphone and a music on left deck; the microphone replaces the left deck
- you set the volume of the microphone on microphone volume button, and the volume of the microphone in the mix is set with the volume fader, the position of the cross fader and possibly VirtualDJ gain button for left deck.
2) In my opinion, the solution for radio broadcasting is to connect the output 1-2 of the DJ Console Mk4 to the line input of your computer (via an audio cable), and to broadcast the line input over the internet.
Thank you very much.
I think I´m gonna buy it.
