HELP!! Beginner

[colev]

I'm using Pioneer CDJ 800MK2 and the marks are off when trying to beat juggle. What could be the problem? Is it better to be in a certain mode? (absolute, relative, hybrid)

Also, my bpm in the MixVibe Cross are the same but the beats do not match. My pitch is set to (0) on the cdj turntables. ?????

Also, I'm experiencing audio dropout. This occurs sometimes within the mix and when I'm loading a song in one of the decks? How can I prevent this?

Does MixVibe Cross work better in Vista or Windows 7. I currently use Vista.

HELP!!!!

Do you mean mode on the CDJ or within the software? If you're referring to the CDJ, I believe you should be using relative mode.

Also, my bpm in the MixVibe Cross are the same but the beats do not match. My pitch is set to (0) on the cdj turntables. ?????

Are you matching your tracks with the sync button or doing it manually?

You can either increase your latency or turn off all your excess background processes/turn off wifi/etc.

It's the general consensus that everything works better in 7, but Vista will work for now.

Although phaded already answered I have some stuff for you:

The BPM calculation in Cross is very good, but not perfect i.e. if you take a track you produced on your own at 125BPM, load it into Cross and analyse it Cross says BPM is at 125.2. So there is a difference in handling two tracks with the same speed. If both are 125BPM but Cross analysed the first one with 125.2 and the second one with 124.9 and you try to auto match or sync this one through the software you will not get satisfied. I recommend to pitch on your own, that is more precise.

In your preferences of Cross there is a "audio cache (% RAM)" field. Set this one to zero and try loading tracks. This solved my drop outs when I configured Cross. Also here is a tutorial for setting up your computer for audio applications:

Although it is for Win XP there are a lot of things that also work for Vista and Win7.

I have tested both and I can tell you that vista is that bad...Win7 is the best OS imho. As fast as WinXP and up to date!
