MIXVIBES Dj Community old forum

Hello fellow DJ's!

after many months of playing with virtual DJ I decided to buy me some real equipment, so i went to a store and got me mixvibes (DVS LE s/w), 2 vynil deks ( dj-tech vynil usb 20) and a mixer (dj-tech mx 2ch DJ mixer).

that was yesterday afternoon, and i spend the following 6 hours trying to set everything up; but for some reason i just can/t get the mixer to work properly.

here's the problem:

I connected everything the wa it is supossed to be, i can play mp3's on the turntables and scratch them, and i can also play real vinyls, but for some reason the sound is only on one of the channels!
when i move the crossfader to the left, i can hear the music both vinyls are playing, when i move it to the right all i hear is silence.

when i play real vinyls the crossfader etc. is working properly, its just the thing with the mp3's


the my lcd's are set to output one and two, the sound options are set to multi channel, "device" is set to "usb audio" (this is my external soundcard, a Zalmann 5.1 usb soundcard)
on the vilyl tab i can see both decks running.

regarding the wiring i set both turntables to "line" and are connected to the line input of the mixer. the phono inputs are connected to the two soundcards.

ANY help would be highly appreciated as i really tried everything i could think of and don't have any idea how to get it working properly!

Sam

just check your skin. You have the possibility to change the sound channel.
Now I think your right deck is set to 1
& also your left deck.

Click on the 1 of your right deck, it is now set to 2 & you have sound on channel one & two on your mixer.

as uncle Vibes said just check the skin

i did what you guys told me, they were both set to "1"
now the second one is set to "2" and doens/t make any music anymore, not even on the old channel! so i can hear only one turntable now. looks like one of the channels does not work?


ps: i tried installing on my friends computer with windows vista, but i can't even start the programm, it says "turntables not connected"

You haven't connected 2 output in the vinyl options, your setup is done only for one output channel.
Publish now a config report.

I don't remember the look of your options? can you publish a snapshot of your DVS LE sound options please.

here are two screenshots of the options:




hope his helps!

edit: the vinyl show as active usually, i just had to take them off the PC in oder to go online...

Have you try'ed multi audio or ASIO..???

multi audio mode looks like the proper audio mode to handle both USB decks. Try switching to that mode.

I might be mistaken, but I don't think the DJ tech is designed to support ASIO.
