hi there. i recently purchased a hercules 4mx and im having some problems with the sound. and i was wondering if you guys could help. when i play my music through virtual dj pro 7 i can hear almost like a compressor working really hard. its similiar to a bad youtube recording, the volume willl go and up and down depending on how much information is in the song.
i mix drum and bass and i can really notice this. its almost like the high and low frequencies wont play at the same time, high frequences dulled down considerably when low are trying to play and sometimes vice versa. besides my issues with sound the unit itself is very responsive eispecially with vdj7 and there are no problems with lag or anything like that.
im running on windows with a dual 1.73ghz proc. and 2gigs of ram. ive also re-installed hercules drivers and restored factory settings on vdj7. at present im getting better sound on my hercules mk4 which is a shame considering the price difference. any advice on how i could resolve the issue would be much appreciated. thx.

in addition, ive found out i cant seem to play the 4 mx in asio mode with vdj7. if vdj7 is closed and i set it to asio in hercules control panel, it jus changes to back wdm as soon as i open vdj7. if i try and change it from wdm to asio in vdj7 it just blocks. i dont know if this might have anything to do with it and the sound issues ive been getting.
do you get the same sort of "compression" effect if you are playing the files outside of vdj ( itunes, wmp), using the 4-mx as a soundcard ?
as for using asio in vdj, select an input source ( ex: mic or line in) in the audio configuration (even if you are not using one), and vdj will operate in asio:
- input : mic
- output(s): headphone
-soundcard: dj console 4 mx
