Hey all. I have virtual DJ LE on a macbook pro. I have a numark total control controller with a numark dj iO soundcard connected to my two amps. One amp is connected to a speaker stack and a sub, the other amp is attached to the other speaker stack and other sub (each amp is being run to my soundcard on outputs 1 and 2. For some reason my PFL buttons on my midi controller control which speaker the current song is playing comes out of, and not letting me hear the song on deck. Why would it do this? I have two RCA cables coming out of the soundcard (output 1, and output 2) into each separate amp. Please help me! Thank you for reading!

It's like, I got everything working. But my PH MIX is controlling how loud the current song being played is, and i everytime I try to hear the song on deck, i can only hear it while hearing both of them at the same time.

My current settings are -
Inputs: None
Outputs: Headphones (however the headphones don't let me listen to the song on deck via having them plugged into the computer???)
Soundcard(s): 4 Card Out
Driver 1: Numark USB Audio
Output channels: 1 & 2 Master chan, 3 & 4 headphones
 
Hi, first thing is your headphones get plugged into the "headphones" socket on your DJ IO soundcard, not into the headphone socket on your laptop.

Second thing is you would be best to use these things called ASIO drivers. These give better sound quality.

Download them from here...

http://www.numark.com/product/djio (downloads are on the right hand side of the page).

Then open virtual dj and go to sound setup and choose

Inputs: none
Output: Headphones
Soundcards: "ASIO driver" and then select Numark DJ IO from the list.


Hope that gets you started.
 
He's running a Mac - ASIO is only for PCs.

With the way it's been set up, it's no surprise that the cue output is coming from the speakers....

You're feeding the master into ch1+2 and headphones into 3+4.

If you then connect speakers to 3+4 you're going to hear the headphone output!

You should also be running each set of speakers/subs from one amp. Tops from one, subs from the other.
 
he could use a mixer to output to a crossover ......?

one amp should drive the tops (only) if it can ?

the other amp should drive the subs (only) if it can ?

without more specs , can't say if these items will work together .......


should be laptop to controller to mixer to crossover to amps to speakers

he has a 2 way system and needs a 2 way crossover

the crossover will filter (split) the mixer output into high and low.....

the highs feed the amp for the tops , the lows goto the amp for the subs

this assumes a match between the amps and speakers ........
 
Hey all, I appreciate the replies.

I don't have an equalizer, therefore I can't have one amp controlling both subs, and the other amp controlling both speakers. Although, this shouldn't be an issue regardless?

I'm going to buy two RCA cables, that split into four RCA cables. If this doesn't work, I'm going to by a mixer so it will do the crossover itself?

EDIT: my pictures won't show up, so here are the links-

You all will basically know how my setup is from here on out - connected to my computer and such. There's a plug from the other end of the souncard that goes directly into my computer, and my midi controller goes straight into my computer.

I do have a friend that plugs his headphones directly into his computer to hear the next song on deck, that's why I tried it. Because when I have my headphones plugged into the soundcard, what I said previously happens. I know there is a crossover issue somewhere...

Speaker stack model number: KSE 215
Sub model number: KSC18S

Thanks again!

Follow groovindj's setup. You can check the wiki for all setup, specifically the first section regarding internal software mixer.
http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/DJIO.html

You don't want to hook up output 2 to your amps. Your amps do have internal crossovers, while these are not as configurable as an external, it's better then nothing. You would want to use one RCA cable. A Y splitter on one end of the cable for each channel. Left (WHITE) from DJIO channel 1 - RCA cable - to Y splitter - to both channel one and two on one amp. Flip the full range switch. Hook the Sub to channel 2 and the tops to channel 1 on the amp outputs. Do the same thing for the right (RED) speaker setup. You should be good to go then.

EDIT: By full range switch, I mean the crossover switch just to the right of the amp inputs. And connect your headphones to the headphone jack of the DJIO
