I wouldn't use the 2nd output (card) from the DMP since I never ever found myself using the card and CD at the same time.

If I'm using it as a controller, it can't be used as a CD deck anyhow so no worries there.

But if I am using the DMP to control DJS through the external mixer mode doesn't the CD/Card feature on the DMP have to control the A and B sides of the softwear screen separately? Thus using two inputs on the DJM-500 and a third input would be the list feature on DJS.

The outputs on the DMP are not even being used in this setup. They are connected via usb. The second DMP I would have the output coming out of the audio out and right into the DJM. The problem is that the DMJ has really only four inputs other that the phono's and mic's. CH-1 would count as two put you would have to switch between CD 1/Line and Line.

Sorry, I wasn't sure what the heck you were trying to get at.

The problem you'll have is that the DJM500 is designed for sharing with phono and there's no preamp-bypass. If you're using DJS with 3 outputs (A,B,List), you can't have 2 other line-level devices connected (CDJs).

Consider getting a different mixer or physically bypassing the phono preamps inside the 500.

Your setup should be:

CH1 - A
CH2 - B
CH3 - List

If you wanted to add a CDJ, unfortunately the only available line level input is on CH1, as you mentionned.

Enforcer, I think I found the problem with this MP3 - it's encoded with LAME v3.92, a very buggy version of the encoder.



Follow up - I sent a copy to Japan and they said that although v3.92 is buggy, the problem with your perticular MP3 was that it had some null data in the header. (Tech-talk, I know, but the long and short of it means that it couldn't import.)

The next version of the software will be able to import these troublesome MP3s.

I know this for a different forum by could I just take the mixer apart and change the configuration so I could use channel 4 and bypass the pre amp?

Although I still Have my 1200's if I ever hooked them up at home I would just use the my DJM-300 into the 500 through that same line.

Let me know where to get directions on how to bypass the amp.

In future, let's try to keep off-topics to another thread pls.

You could install a switch to bypass it but I'm not an eletrical engineer so I'm not about to tell you how to do that or where inside (nor will we allow anyone else to post that information), sorry.

Does this thing not beat sync stuff? Because the sync button isnt working worth a damn. All it does is change the bpm to match the other track. How does the beat corrector thing work? You hit it and it does nothing. Help Pulse!



WannaB, just so we're on the same page, there's a difference between beat-sync and auto-mix. (We'll ignore auto-mix because that's a lot more involved.)

First you have to ensure that the DJS does in fact have the correct BPM. Sometimes you'll have to tap it in just to be sure, but most of the time it's fairly bang-on.

That little beat corrector thing works ONLY to detect the DOWNbeat. You press the big circle ONCE when it's on the 1 count (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2...). You can do this for each track, setting the beat. The purpose of the indicator is to show you when there's a downbeat.

Start a track playing and set its beat with the indicator / corrector.

Start another track playing and set its beat with the indicator / corrector, then hit the SYNC button. Press the cue button and when the other track is on a downbeat, press the play button. It should now be in sync and the indicators should match.

If they start to slide, chances are the measured BPM is slightly off.



OK I want it to sync the beats of the songs when I start it playing. Just like with other software programs that sync the beats of the songs to each other. This one just wont do it. And I know the BPM's are correct on the songs. Any suggestions? Hitting the beat corrector doesnt do a darn thing but flash the light on it.

It doesn't QUANTIZE the beats (that's what you're asking for). All this does is sync the tempo. It's YOUR job to beatmatch the tracks.

I sound stupid for asking this...but how would I go about "beatmatching" the tracks. I know its easy when you have a visual display but the display on this waveform is crap and you really cant seen aynthing even when you do zoom in.

well fellow dj's of the demo forum... farewell. I have succesfully installed the full version of DJS and it is F-in AWESOME!!!!

So far I haven't had any problems making the transition and alot of the little bugs seem to not be in the full version. Stop playing around with the demo. This will be the best money you spent since you became a DJ.

P.S.
you will not loose your imported data.

When posting, please state:

- DJS version (found under Help > Version)

1.001

- processor and speed, hyperthreading on / off?

Pentium M 1.4

- memory size

1 gig

- HD size / free space

60 gigs, 3 free

- number of MP3s currently in DJS, their bitrates, VBR or CBR

about 300 most 192k+

- soundcard(s), driver configuration (within DJS - ASIO / DirectX)

onboard dell sound card in DX

- mixer configuration (internal / external)

Internal

- detailed description of the problem you're experiencing

Problem:

1. Still have errors during import of media. Specifially some files during import cause the program to crash totally (IE to the desktop.)



2. Even with the new version I also receive NG files (I thought this was fixed from reading the forums.)



Suggestion:

1. Give us some speed control over using the <- -> arrow keys to control the cross fader. It moves entirely too slow!



2. Give us more precise control over the jog wheel while using the keyboard (IE the 1,2 keys and 7,8 keys.) It moves too much when in cue mode. or make it work that tapping the key moves it slightly, while holding the key makes the jog move faster or some sort of progressive feature like that.



3. Give us the ability to see the 2 waveforms imaged over eachother... like the BPM window does in VirtualDJ, MixVibes, et cetera. I am an old DJ and my ears aren't so great... being able to visualize a little helps.





Love the program... but I am not buying it until 1: you make a cheap controller for it and 2: you fix these bugs (and the god aweful amount of time it takes to import tracks.) It shows a lot of potential though.

I downloaded and installed the Demo version 1.000. I really like it. Everything seems to work great. I am running a 1 GHZ AMD Duron, 512 ram, 128 GB hardrive Desktop running Win XP. I need to know though how do you perform the pitch bend functions? I held the mouse over the wheel and try to move it or use my keyboard but they don't move. Everything works great. I may get the full version. I wonder if Pioneer will come out with a hardware controller.

To pitch bend, you need to rotate the jogdial or use the bend keys... you can map them yourself in the options.

Ok, but how do you rotate it? I moved the mouse over it and held the mouse button and tried to drag it but it did not move.

Just a courious question. When I purchase and install the full version do I have to uninstall the trial version or does the full version just overwrite it. And will I have to import the tracks again? Thank you.
