Sujet: Can you play "Normal Vinyl" with VDJ.

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

Hi all,

Just a little question for you,

It might sound silly, but i will be buying some TCV's this week and setting my 1210's up, and I would like to know if you can play "normal" vinyl whilst playing TVC's with VDJ

yes you can, just use the Bypass mode.
Pretty simple... the sound will go in trough your soundcard, and back out to your mixer... no latency...
 
Cool,

But can you play say a track on Time coded vinyl, then mix into a normal vinyl track or a normal vinyl track into a time coded track.

Yes you can, bypass is independent on each deck.
More good news...:
You can even use all virtual mixer's controls (faders, eq's...) on the vinyl / cd bypassed audio.
 
thats fully possible... but you wont see the BPM or the wave in VDJ.
I have done that alot of times...
 

Very cool, Got a shit load of 90's and early 00's house music I want to use.

I'm lovin VDJ it gets better and better,

I thought the bypass mode had a bug in and it was taken out from version 4.3. Is it back in VDJ 5.0?

Yes its fixed and improved in 5.x
 
where's the button for it then. i've never noticed it.
 
you have to make a keyboard shortcut
 
so it is cheers. i have my cables split anyway :D
 
I tried the bypass function yesterday - and it worked fine. Just one thing, sound quality of real vinyl wasn't great. I admit the vinyl's i tried were quite old - and maybe its due to that. I'll try with newer vinyls when i get a chance.

But i just wanted to know - is there supposed to be a reduction in sound quality if you use the 'bypass' option rather than using splitter cables?

Cheers
 
That could be up for debate tiger1, it never worked good in the past but since the new sound engine it improved greatly. The question is does it work as good as using Y splits? I couldn't personally say since i have not done much testng with the bypass yet, most of my vinyl is in storage but not for long.
 
Hey DJFS,
you mentioned that you have splitter cables. Have you noticed a difference in sound quality when listening to real vinyl using the bypass more or when using the splitter cables?
 
i haven't tried the by-pass yet. will check it out tonight and let you know.
 
Thanks,

I can then decide whether I need to get myself to the shops for some splitter cables.
 
i suppose one advantage of spitter cables is if the computer crashes you can still get sound.
 
Did you get a chance to see if there is a difference in quality between bypass mode or splitter option?

Thanks
 
hi sorry for the delay. i went into keyboard shortcuts, but could get it to work .
 
No worries. I had a go yesterday and the bypass button worked well. And the sound good quality semed pretty good. I played one song (real vinyl) using the bypass button. Then played the same song, but not through VDJ - straight from turntable to mixer. And both sounded pretty similar. Unfortuntaley the vinyl i had available was old and on an absolute basis sound quality wasn't great. But the test proves it was the vinyl which had the issue and not VDj.
