i just got a 4mx and i used to have the mk4 so i uninstalled the drivers and installed the new hercules drivers. i plugged it all up and i got it working somewhat but not exactly.
in virtual dj i have the config set up like this
input laptop and mic
output headphones and speaker...master chan 1/2 and then chan 3/4
and soundcard 4mx
im running windows 7 and i have my headphones plugged into the jack at the top of the right side.
so when i am playing a track and i load up the next track i cant hear it when i play it unless i move the fader over (in the headphones). the only other way to hear it is to turn the mix cue knob over and then i can hear both tracks playing but i cant hear the upcoming track by itself playing at all. i spent 3 hours last night messing with the config to try to figure this out and now i am at a road block looking for help. any suggestions.
i plan on calling hercules later today if need be. i have a gig tomorrow night and i want to use my new controller rather than re install the mk4.
Hello Icefrogg,
1) Please check on DJ Console 4-Mx control panel > Advance tab, that the Headphones channel is set on 3-4.
2) You should complete your Hercules DJ Mix Room profile (My Space > My Profile) in adding informations as your DJ controller
and in "Describe your equipment" field, the complete description of your computer installation:
- Computer brand & model (Example: MacBook 5.1)
- Operating system: (example: Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1)
- DJ software: (example: VirtualDJ 7.0.5 Pro, or VirtualDJ 7.0.2 LE)
The headphone channel is set to 3-4 like you suggested. I filled in my information in my profile as well.
any other suggestions
Ok so I think I might have figured it out. I had both cue select buttons lit up. I think the mk4 only allowed one active at a time and the 4-mx allows both to be active which is throwing me off.
on a side note I notice there is a delay in the mic when I use it. I have it set up for input computer + mic. any way to get rid of the delay?
Hello Icefrogg,
You should reduce the ASIO buffer to reduce the latency on the microphone input.
