Forum: Old versions

l am debating the same issue. I would rather have the DDJ SX but if I dont like serato (which I never have used it) I dont want to be stuck with a controller that costs a grand that doesn't function the way that it should. I like Virtual DJ so at first I was heavily considering the MC 6000. Now that the Pioneer is natively supported, I want to know which is the better option to go with? Pioneer or Denon? I am also waiting on VDJ 8 to come out...It looks awesome which is another reason that I don't want to be forced to switch to serato because of the controller that I chose. Any suggestions from Atomix would be awesome as to which controller will preform to a higher standard with VDJ would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

The native mapping in v7.4 was designed for 4 deck use. If you are using it with 2 decks, then you will need to download and install the updated mapper that takes this into account (To avoid VirtualDJ 'wrapping' decks 3&4 back to 1&2): http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/15822/Pioneer_DDJ-SX_(Native).html

Ideally for best results, you should use it with a 4 deck skin as intended by the manufacturer.

The only other issue that we are aware of is lag if you scratch on both decks simultaneously, but this is not something that most DJ's would be doing in a live performance. It's appears to be caused by the slicer section, which due to not currently being a native function in VirtualDJ is implemented using some very complex VDJscript. If you need to be able to scratch on both decks simultaneously, try deleting the slicer mappings and map them to something else (E.g: Triggering effects, etc.) This may be something that can be improved in a future version of VirtualDJ if slicer becomes a native function.

NOTE: The DDJ-SX should be used in the default Serato mode, otherwise the platter LED's will not work well.

DO NOT GO WITH THE DDJ-SX. VIRTUAL DJ RUNS LIKE **** WITH THIS CONTROLLER. 10 MONTHS AFTER RELEASE AND VDJ STILL CANNOT FIX THIS.

Mine is perfect!! I,m playing video, karaoke and MP3, no problems at all with Macbook Pro w/OSX 10.8.5 and PC w/ Windows 7. Both computers got quad core prosessor and 8GB RAM/1600mhz :-)

So, your telling the rest of us that YOU, and only YOU and devs have a fully functional ddj-sx controller with vdj.. WOW. So, your able to scratch from BOTH platters?
