Im using a windows XP laptop with PCDJ red vrm ver 7.3 build 1001. I use this with a gigaport sound card into a 2 channel DJ mixer ( Citronic CDM 5.2k ) then into a power amp. The problem I have is with the Mic input. On my previous mixer ( A Sony DJM ) the mic started to break up and would sometimes not work at all so I bought the citronic, and the same thing is happening to this mixer too. Its not the mic as I have three and its the same on all of them. Whats got me asking is a friend of mine used pcdj through a Gigaport and external mixer for the first time last Saturday and he to

Its all down to the exchanger unit. On cheap machines they clog very quickly,hence the failure rate. I know they are expensive but go for Martin/Jem... Believe you me they last a long long time. Acme maybe cheap but its false economy in the long run.

My rates are fixed, except for Xmas and NYE. I charge £250 xmas and £400 NYE....... and I am always booked in advance !!

I would say neither, that realm still belongs to the radio !

I run the disco along with my wife ( You know what they say about working with Children and animals ?? They should also add the Mrs to that !! ) But seriously, in the band if I was ever stopped, I would say I have been practicing with fellow members and for the Disco, well its all in her indoors name, which means I am helping out a third party by transporting their gear ? On both occasions fully insured in my estate car on standard fully comp insurance.

For me its all now about portability. I used to run a huge goal post rig which used to take me an hour and a half to take down at the end of the night, much to the delight of the Peed off bar staff who wanted to go home too ! I use a Laptop, and since downsizing my rig, which also means I have done away with the van ( more money saving !) I can get it all stripped down and ready to load in just 15 minutes !!!!

Seriously, check out Samson Power Amps, we bi- amp two of them in the band and they are brilliant. Behringer ?? Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole !! ( Yes I'm talking from experience )

Thanks guys. Tried all of your suggestions but to no avail, The noise is there through headphones too, so I guess its probably the internal sound card ? Still... I intend to carry on as I have always done, but I guess in an emergency a pair of noisy speakers will be of little detail ? Once again thanks for the input.

Hi, Been using PCDJ Red since 2002, through a Gigaport AG , 2 channel DJ mixer , Yamaha Power Amp and RCF speakers. The sound is great with only a minuscule hiss when the power amp is turned up full. However on Sunday evening my mixer started to play up ( thankfully I managed to get through the gig ) I have bought a new mixer, but to have an extra safeguard I have decided to set up the lap top to use the built in mixer with PCDJ Red. I purchased all the necessary leads and a ground loop isolator from Maplins, but when the power amp is up full the speaker noise is horrendous. Tried al

Hello all,. Ive been a musician for 30 years and starting DJ`ing 11 years ago in Devon. Still do both but still play more than I DJ. Been using PCDJ Red since 2002 on a laptop which cost me an unbelievable £1200 quid back then !!! Still using it though ! Found this site by accident after searching for some info on PCDJ Red VRM.
