Sujet VDJ8's Sync botton unxpectedly gets stuck & fails to work while beatmatcing ...!

Ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes.

I've been using VDJ for many years now, VDJ7 has hardly ever caused me any problems, I understand the fact that VDJ8 is a completely new software & has some issues to improve in order to reach the level of reliability & stability that VDJ7.4.1 has ...

But some problems that occur while using VDJ8 is how can put it, ridiculously serious ...!

Recently I've purchased the MIDI Controller Hercules RMX2 which is known for it's quality, reliability & it's compatibility with VDJ ... I've used it with VDJ7.4.1 & it worked perfectly ...!

At home while practicing for my next Gig, creating a new play list, using VDJ8 with the MIDI RMX2, the Sync button unexpectedly got stuck on the right deck & failed to work, so I couldn't continue to beat match & had to interrupt my program ... The Sync button failed to work whether I tried using it through the MIDI Controller or with the Mouse ...

The only solution was to close the software & re-open it, after that VDJ8 worked normally so I continued practicing ...

This problem has happened 4 times, 3 times on the Right deck & 1 on the Left deck !!! All of these times while using it at home, thankfully so far not at a Gig, if this problem did occur while playing live it would be a seriously unpleasant situation !!!

My MIDI controller is completely NEW, I'm using Windows 7 & my Lop top is New also & worked perfectly with VDJ7.4.1 ...!

Another friend of mine who is also a DJ & has the exact same equipment as I do has also experienced a few times the same problem ...!

Has anyone else noticed this ??? I hope this issue is resolved soon ...

Maybe you should consider improving your vocabulary & advancing your level in English ...

I honestly don't see anything wrong with his writing. I understand everything he wrote in his text and I'm French. I would help him out but I don't know the answer to his issue. But as far as language, spelling and vocabulary go... please complain in another forum. We don't need it here. More important issues at hand at this point!

Next time this happens u may want to check if the other deck is set master I experienced a similar behavior. Only way to get the reverse sync to work was to switch master off

Or learn to Dj without sync..

Maybe he knows how to DJ without sync... With the tools we have today its much faster to do things and go onto the next thing. Myself, I have been DJing for over 35 years and most mixing was done with a manual Pitch fader but today I enjoy the speed of syncing automatically in many instances. Please keep to his original question. I'm sure their are other forums on the net for smart asses!

There is no next thing to go on to. How about you take your wannabe-moderator- ass to another forum if you don't like what I am saying..

Bitchin aside either it's a 4 deck scenario and the selected deck is master, which is user error, Or the sync button on the hardware is playing up but it is most likely user error.

And the emboldening capitalising and underlining of OP is borderline juvenile, if you have a problem spit it out in plain text.

Thanks for your suggestion for a solution to this problem, I will check it out & see the results :-) ...!

Thanks for the support & understanding, I honestly don't understand why some people have the need to express their aggression & frustration through a Forum, I find some replies a bit offending, but that's life, what can you do, they live among us ...

If I wanted to DJ without using the Sync Button or other features that benefit the program, I wouldn't have spent so much money on the software & on a MIDI Controller, I would have chosen to play with CDs which is a much more cheaper solution ...

Since I have, I expect basic things to work, or if I'm doing something wrong, to find out what it is, if I know how to DJ with or without the help of the Sync button is really not the issue here ...

It's a Bug Report Forum, I found a problem & reported it ...

On previous posts I did write in plain text, someone else, who has more time & experience in this Forum suggested that I should write this way, I just followed his advice ...

Thanks for sharing this information with me :-)

The use of bold, underlining or italics should only be used to emphasise certain words or phrases, as you would do in normal speech.

However, if it's done at random every few words, then it leaves a negative impression.

SHIFT+SYNC was mapped as masterdeck, so there might be a chance that you have pressed that combination and turned masterdeck operation into manual mode, which means that you would only have to press that once more on the deck that the SYNC was not working.
Anyways, since the RMX2 is basically a 2 deck controller, and doesnt make much sense to have such an action , we have changed so that SHIFT+SYNC is now beat_tap.
The change has been applied a few controller versions back, so just make sure you run the latest one (builds ending at .752 or higher) and the "factory default" mapping is selected.

FYI, the masterdeck action didnt actually work with 2 deck skins in version 7, (so that is probably why you never had this issue with ver 7) but it works in version 8, as the skin doesnt actually limit the available decks (you can have a 2 deck skin with a 4 deck controller and still be able to use all 4 of them)

Thanks for the Tip & the advice, I'll apply them next time I write (Post) something in the Forum :-)

OK Thanks, I'll still continue to use VDJ8 on my next Gigs, I hope that the problem was caused from accidentally pressing a combination of buttons & nothing else, will find that out soon ...

Σε ευχαριστώ για την βοήθεια :-)

My sync button works but can't get it to unsync after I've beat match and want to get to da track to it's original bpm... I've tried shift sync but nothing happens ... I'm an amateur with a pioneer wego3 and virtual dj8... Please any suggestions on correcting this?
 

Posté Sun 27 Mar 16 @ 8:05 am
There is no "unsync". The sync button is not an on/off switch.

If you need to reset the pitch, use the pitch reset option.

P.S. please do not dig up old threads. Also, please do not repost something which you posted elsewhere five days ago (and got a reply).
