MIXVIBES Dj Community old forum

I purchased the iDJ3 yesterday and am having an issue with getting it set up. The customer support at Numark is closed on the weekend and I was hoping to get this figured out so that I could start messing with it.

I installed the iDJ3 driver first, then MixVibes, however the controller is not being recognized. The iDJ3 lights up, but the only thing that really works on it is the iPod. I can play a track on the iPod and adjust the iPod volume and hear it through my speakers and in my headphones.

Also, I have a separate issue - when I drag a track to MixVibes and try to play it, it just skips (slowly). It 'trys' to play the track, but I can just hear a 'tick' through the speakers every time it hits a beat as it slowly skips along. I had read that this could potientally be due to low RAM, but I am running 2GB of Ram on a 3Ghz, Pentium 4 machine running Vista (32bit).

In the MixVibes software have the audio preferences set to 'iDJ3 ASIO Driver". However if I change it to play out of my soundcard either 'direct sound' or 'ASIO' the program itself works flawlessly and there is no skipping of songs and I can manually fad and do everything with my mouse. None of these settings allow control of MixVibes with the iDJ3 controller, however. Even though the controller is being recognized. [If i go to iDJ3 ASIO Driver in the audio settings and click control panel - it says 'connected' and gives me the option to change the Audio Latency Setting.]

Someone with the iDJ3 - please help me solve these issues...

The issue is between the computer and the controler thru the usb connection.
The iPod is direct hardware wired so it will always work.

Your computer don't free enough resources for this real time audio task.

Asio will give you the best latency, if your setup work in direct sound but not in asio, then chance are that it is not optimized for audio performances.

Even if the soundcard is seen, this does mean that the controller half is ok.
In fact there are 2 devices : the controller that send/receive MIDI commands (buttonss & lights) and the soundcard (the one that need the drivers).
The controller side doesn't need drivers because it is hold by Windows as an 'usb audio device'.
