Fellow Dj's,
I seem to having a bit of trouble with the setup of VDJ - Hercules MK2 - EXT Mixer. I have read numerous threads / blogs and still i am running into trouble. I have managed to hook the MK2 console up with my Stanton M-304 mixer(as said in various threads and blogs - 1/2 - 3/4 output of MK2 to input line's of mixer, set Ext mixer mode etc..)everything seems to work until i mix tracks 1-2, and then select track 3 and drag it to deck A then both decks stop playing. Also when deck A is playin and is the active deck, when i click the tab button (or try to shift decks) i get big irregularities with the sound. I know i must have something wrong with the setup but cant figure out what.......a desperate dj needs help!!!
Thanks in advance

Hi there, to my understanding, herc mk2 came with djc edition that only werk with the console n cant use that external mixer option.. N timecoded permitted is abt 5 minutes only. SO if u did own the pro version do register it here

or r u using the latest trial v4.2?

thanks for the reply spinnaj
yes...i am using the djc edition of VDJ but why does it have the ext mixer option in the hercules control panel if it doesnt support it??? All i want is to use the hercules dj console as an ext sound card with or without any functions. Is this not possible without the pro version??

sorry as stated only pro can output to an external mixer
when you bought the mk2 you bought the unit not the software which was a gift to get you started
but you can upgrade at a
discount becuase you own the mk2

We do have that choice in V3.4 so I cant see why it would not work as long as the MK is plugged in.

Having some trouble today. Just hooked up 2 brand new pioneer cdj-800mk2s to the inputs of the hercules mk2 dj console. No timecode signal found? Cannot control virtual dj with the pioneers. Any ideas, this is driving me crazy. Please help.

You may have to lower the signal for the timecodes. I made a tool to do this available here:

Hehe, that's what being unemployed during the summer months with no money or passport does to you. I'm supposed to be going on holiday in three weeks, I hope the postal strike doesn't delay my application otherwise I would have spent my entire summer living on here lol.

Right guys...now i have a new problem. Im using the 4.3 demo version and have set it up with the external mixer. I have tried both the new and old drivers of the MK2 and still im getting the same issue. The settings i am using are: Input - None / Output - Ext Mixer / Sound card - Hercules MK2 and Channel settings are 1/2 Right 3/4 Left. The problem i am now facing are the headphones. When i plug them either in the MK2 console or the Ext Mixer i can only pre listen to deck b whilst mixing (and throught ext mixer the volume is very low). This is a problem because as you all know, you cant mix live without using headphone's.......
