Just tried recording an emergency hour of music, first problem:
i could hear all my cueing on the recording....I put this down to the fact that my mixer doesnt do anything to the mixer built into VDJ. so i stopped using my mixer and used the one built into VDJ....problem 2:
I cant cue anything, no way of hearing the next tune in my headphones.....i recorded an hour of mixing without being able to hear what I was bringing in (I used the loop function loads)
am i being daft, and missing something vital here, or is that the only way too do it?
will post my mix url on here just so you all can giggle.

there you go, just remember i couldnt cue anything, and did possibly have to rely on the loops
sorry if this is in the wrong place, just trying to prove the point

Did you use two soundcards with your system?
Are you mixing with external control, turntables, CD-Decks, mixer or just using VDJ straight?
The answer to those questions will solve your problem...

You can cue using your headphones for mixing. Just go into your config> sound setup > headphones > mono output > primary soundcard.
Now when you play one earpiece should hear most of the deck and the other deck for cueing. Of course, the better skins have a pgm /cue knob somewhere on the skin to dial it in for better mixing. Using an external mixer, you would have to record from the mixer to a recording source. If not, you would just use mouse movements for proper effects. You can still do everything nice but it will take some learning curve of a couple of minutes.

you can record your mix with all your cues in it then use a audio production tool like Wavepad to edit them out. before i had the luxury of a second computer to record on i used to record in two phases - the mix in/out, the song playing, the mix in/out
Song A: record - then stop recording when you want to bring Song B in (just after so you can edit them later).
Song A/B Mix - Cue. (without recording)
SongA/B Record - until you want to stop the mix and bring in Song B and leave Song A out.
Song B: Record. etc
It sounds long winded but can be effective when you practice with it.

Can't you take a cable from the "booth out" of the mixer and take it back to your internal soundcard of your laptop/PC and then use something like Audacity to record it, (if that is possible).
That way you will be only recording whats coming out of the mixer, so you won't he the cueing up, if you get what I'm saying, lol

Yeah, you could use audacity, but virtualdj has an option to record from line in. Just go into the recording part and look in the config section.
Or, if you can cope with only using the internal mixer in vdj, then you could change the sound setup in virtual dj. Just change it to "headphones" and then one channel of your mixer will be a headphone output and the other channel will be the main output.
