Had another thread going, but it's fallen off the grid a bit. Made this video to demonstrate the issue. Tried everything from the previous thread here http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/177068/General_Discussion/DDJSX_PLATTER_LATENCY_PROB.html. Thought the issue was with the 2 deck xml mapper file, but it wasn't. I've run dpc and my system is green all day long. Tried platter settings, fresh install, registry tool default latency settings, tried different sound card settings, touch sensor settings on the ddjsx, hardware works perfect with serato dj. I'm at a total loss of what to do now. Everyone here has been extremely supportive in trying to get this thing working. Hoping this video might point out some obvious issue.

Side note: My ns7 works perfect with vdj on this setup.

watched your video..

In VDJ performance tab, try turn OFF master tempo (pure scratch on.)
And if you do need master tempo (most dont), use the "advanced streching")

On skin setting (same tab), turn on FAST resizing if you resize or maximise the skin.

Also, in the latency you have it set to auto (this might often be best), but try override it to 512ms.

Does that work better sound wise?
 
Tried with every tempo setting, set sound card to 512 and in the performance tab also, and did the skin resizing option too.

Didn't change anything. Weird huh?
 
Just turned the latency all the way up and it's exactly the same, minus the platters reacting slower.
 


yeah dont set latency too high, will just make things sluggish.
512 should be a fine setting or auto even more so.

I just cant see why you get it working great on ns7 and not the SX.

Try this:
- set latency to auto in vdj
- open the Pioneer sound control panel - set latency there to 512/11 ms ish.

Also, one thing i couldnt see in the video, make sure you are running pioneer ASIO drivers


Other than that, I cant think of why ns7 would be fine, and not SX.

Could also check on Pioneer site, if they have updated asio drivers. If there is a problem with the sound, it might be.

Tried the above and I'm running the latest drivers from pioneer. Their version 1.0 and that's all that's available from them. I've seen crap computers do this with controllers before they've been optimized to run audio, but this is a Rain Livebook V2 its a beast, and it's optimized. It also pretty much rules out the computer to some extent being that the resource hog Ns7 runs like a dream on it. I've been messing with this for quiet awhile and I'm completely at a loss as to why its doing this. First gig with it is less then a month away, and I'm starting to feel like I'll never get this resolved.

It runs great on serato, so can't be hardware.

Computer runs great so it can't be the computer.

Must be some setting somewhere that's causing the issue. Maybe in VDJ or in windows.

I'm going to bring my Ns7 home tonight just to make sure it's still running right on this computer, if it isn't then I might reformat and start over from scratch. If it is then what's left to do?
 


Test with the ns7 .... that would be a good indicator.
If the NS7 still works good, sounds good .. I'm baffled too..

The Pioneer probably does come with 2 drivers. . windows media driver, and asio.
You are running the asio ones right? probably.. (just wanted to make sure, cause its essential for the scratch sound)
 
Just a thought, and I don't think it should, but could the ns7 drivers interfere with pioneers? On the road to tonights gig, so ill have to check when I get home.
 
no, if there was a conflict, there would be error message, and no sound at all.
So the driver should be fine...
 
The good news is my ns7 still works flawlessly on my laptop. Sounds absolutely perfect no matter what I throw at it.

The bad news is my ddjsx still doesn't work right. There has to be some conflict with something or a setting that can be tweaked or changed.

Would love to see somebody elses settings with the ddjsx and see if I'm doing something wrong. Pulling my hair out over this.
 
Tried a few more things.

Tried switching the deck to other software and back.

Tried all the USB ports and tried with nothing else plugged in.

Disabled my WiFi adapter which was the only thing I leave on for downloading reasons.

Tried using non asio sound set up.

Tried different skin resolutions.

Tried changing the computers sound set up around.

Nothing I have tried has made even a little bit of a difference. Think I'm about done for the night. Have to drive to Buffalo tomorrow and need some sleep. Going to try and disable all the other sound devices on the computer and see if that changes anything.

Can I offer a reward for the first person who solves my problem?
 


got a few ideas..
1) the mapper is made too complex (jogwheel entry has tons of actions not needed)
2) the buffer (latency) is set too low (after all sound breaks up when using 2 decks not 1)

Check the pioneer soundcard panel yet again - make sure its set to 512(11ms) or more.
And then set it to Auto in vdj. This is the most likely issue.
Sounds like there is no audio data in the buffer (hence the break up of sound). Aka you need a higher buffer (latency)

For 1) try this for the JOG entries in the mapper (dont worry you can revert back after)
JOG_TOUCH set action : touchwheel_touch
JOG_CDJ set action : touchwheel
JOG_VINYL set action : touchwheel

(this just to see if the action's with the variables currently are lagging).


But will try to reproduce it on my controllers, see if I can make it happen by adjusting parameters, and find the bottleneck.
 
Tried the latency maxed out too, and it still falls apart. I can usually take the ns7 down to 64 without any drops or pops, so I'm pretty sure it's not that. Tried those mapper settings and the touch wheels were horrible, and it still broke up.





I will send via paypal $100 to anyone who can get to the bottom of this.
 
Re-installed the drivers and firmware. Its almost like its on beat lock now that I think of it. Its not, but could there be something similar in the native mapper?
 
On the video you see the video updates collapsing.

maybe very obvious questions but:

* Are you using a native resolution skin, or is it stretched?
* What video card/hardware are you using?
