Hi There Guys
How we all doing?
Got my new Hercules Steel last night but having issues with the setup.
Currently running Virtual DJ Pro v7.0, on a desktop with an integrated sound card. Computer is quad core (2.2), and is running Windows 7.
Do I have to buy a separate USB sound card to run my headphones, and there is no input on the Hercules controller.? Or is there a way of configuring this in the options. I have now tinkered in the Config section for about 4 hours and have downloaded the ASIO4ALL to give me more options aswell.
I have seen how helpful this community has been with similar queries so I hope you can help. Oh, and please keep it as simple as possible as my head is hurting from all the possibilities
Many Thanks
Georgina

Unlike the DJ Console RMX, the Steel has no built-in sound card.
To be able to pre-listen to music using headphones, you will either need two sound cards or a sound card with multiple outputs, such as a 5.1 surround sound card or preferably a dedicated DJ sound card (E.g: Numark DJIO or Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ.)
With a laptop, you can add a USB stick sound card that will provide you with the additional output that you need.
Alternatively, you can use a single sound card and the mono split option in VirtualDJ's sound setup, however this will only give you MONO sound. You will need a splitter cable to split the left/right channels - Please search Google for: 3.5 jack splitter to mono
Once you have suitable sound card(s), you will then need to go into VirtualDJ CONFIG -> Sound Settings and choose Outputs: Headphones and select the appropriate sound card(s).

Hi There
Thank you so much for you prompt response. Appreciate the advice and will definately follow your suggestion. Next question:
How do a choose between Deck A and Deck B when pre-listening to tunes before I mix them? There doesn`t seem to be a switch on the Numark DJ iO audio interface to do this. Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

You make the selection on the controller itself, using the Cue Select button for each deck.
Then, using the Monitor knob, you can blend what you hear in the headphone between the Cue (selected deck only) and the main Mix.
