[CLSOED] CDJ Freezing with "wait" displayed on displays?

Hi Guys,

I seem to be having an issue when using virtual DJ 7 with a pair of CDJ2000's, both acting as HID controllers and soundcards.

Both CDJ's are on firmware 4.11.

Just so its clear the units function fine during the whole of my set and dont freeze, its after finishing my set and the next dj gets ready to take over the issue occurs.

 

They insert a cd into either of the CDJ2000 (depending on which deck i finish my set on) and then try to switch from LINK mode to CD, thats when they get just a "waiting" message displayed on the CDJ and nothing happens, even trying to switch back to LINK mode fails!

The only way to recover the CDJ to work again is to either kill VDJ or restart the CDJ (this results in VDJ crashing), either way it will stop the music flat. Which you can imagine is not a good thing in a packed nightclub.

Also i have noticed when in cueing up a track it will drift quite a bit for no apparent reason too meaning that i have to adjust with the platter constantly. I have tried to set the sensitivity down for cueing, but it only just makes the response when using it slower doesnt resolve the issue.

 

Although i have read a couple of post on here that it could be down to vibration/feedback from loud music/bass to the CDJ's.

Which as you can imagine is not that easy to get around in a nightclub.

Any help on the 2 above issues would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Mel

I read something here that I wanted to post a link to for you that might of been of some help but cant locate it....

 

Anyways, it said something about how you unlink the CDJ properly. How are you switching to CD?  I think you need to un-link the CDJ.

 

Hope this helps you in some way until someone with that setup can comment too.
