bridge 0 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm not planning to nip out to the late shop and let virtual DJ do the work :joe: but I would like to be able to have a rest during the buffet and let Virtual DJ trawl through an easy listening playlist, while the guests digest their quiche and garlic bread. Has anyone managed to do this successfully? Setting fade time to zero sounds horrible, as track A completely fades before track B starts. With fade time set at 0.2, Virtual DJ appears to fade track A earlier, but chops the beginning of track B off!. I can't disengage the crossfader - tried various settings in the config menu. Also, and this sounds horrendous, it occasionally tries to Automix the two decks together with no accounting for taste. I've looked on the Virtual DJ help forum, it seems other have had similar problems but I can't see any work arounds. I'm hoping a working DJ has found the solution. In the meantime, I'll use Winamp during the buffet. Steve Kenyon Mobile Discos throughout Staffordshire, Cheshire and the West Midlands. Link to post Share on other sites

UKHero 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 OtsDJ is perfect for seging tracks together nothing else on the market comes close unless you go in to radio broadcast software like Myriad or Enco.... The other way round it is to record about 40 mins and save as one file that you can call up.. Problem with that is you cant select the tracks for each individual gig... Most software and all HDC units can not seg songs correctly except for OtsDJ... but it is quite expensive now I got mine when it was only £67 and have never looked back.....

NiM 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) The old PCDJ red (5.2/3) fades tracks ok. I often use that for background music (when feeling lazy). Never got it to work correctly with Virtual DJ.. Edited May 22, 2007 by NiM NiM Link to post Share on other sites

digitaldistortion 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 PCDJ FX VRM will certainly 'autoplay'. I use it to supply music before the 'off'....just point at a folder/list and engage shuffle. The auto xfade works fine. Works brilliantly during trough time the food as well! tongue out icon Cheers!

Little John 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 PCDJ will do shuffle play or list autoplay right IF you set the configuration settings right, are there similar settings on VDJ? Link to post Share on other sites
D.X 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Ots, have left it unattended for over 24 hours. That sounds like one hell of a disco tongue out icon What can OTS DJ do that other software can't ? Link to post Share on other sites
digitaldistortion 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 That sounds like one hell of a disco tongue out icon What can OTS DJ do that other software can't ? I can't quite figure out if the above comment is meant seriously or not! If you give a piece of software like OTS or PCDJ a big enough playground then (in theory) it will play unattended until you stop it from doing so!!!!

dj.silver 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I don't know if you already have Virtual dj yet, if you have then this post is a complete waste of time! http://planetsmilies.net/grinning-smiley-9522.gif With Traktor you can set up a playlist at home, edit, trim, beat match, whatever for any length of time you want from two to two thousand tracks (hell of a buffet break!). Then at the gig select the playlist and put it into 'autoplay' and it will play deck A, deck B, deck A, deck B for the whole length of the playlist. The longest I've done was about an hour and forty minutes for the New years eve after midnight bit. Started with the countdown, Big Ben, all the old knees up malarky and loads of silly stuff, worked a treat. Of course you can always stop it whenever. I use the autoplay just about every gig I do for 'pit stops' a couple of tracks loaded and off I skip to the loo. http://planetsmilies.net/cool-smiley-8933.gif Have a look .................... http://www.native-instruments.com/index.ph...mp;backPID=4101 I once read about the evils of heavy drinking ................ so I've stopped reading COPYWIGHT: Elmer Fudd 1956, All wights wesewved.

I was just curious what OTS has that other programs or something like the HD2500 doesn't ? Link to post Share on other sites

startrax 0 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi I'm having the same problem with virtual dj v5. Its a really good package as it plays karaoke files and music videos but I cant get it to mix from deck to deck(auto) is beyond me. I'm currently using bpm studio which is superb for mixing and auto cross fading but doesnt let you play video's or cdg!! I need help and probably medical.... stu Howay the lads Startrax www.toon-talk.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites

Then you missed out, because I've been using it for 2 years and it's been magnificent. I'm yet to find anyone who's bought it complain about its performance. Link to post Share on other sites
Robster 0 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have used software called virtual dj studio which is nothing to do with atomix product where you build a playlist and it auto fades good enough for my purposes it does get caught out occasionally with certain tracks but on the whole is ok Rob Star EntertainmentsFacebook pagelandline 0161 265 3421Mobile: 0777 99 777 26 Link to post Share on other sites
