Recording & Broadcasting
The device offers the ability to record the Master Output along with the Microphone Inputs and USB/SD playback sources, directly from VirtualDJ record button (in the MASTER center panel). The dedicated Recording input channel is already pre-configured, so no further adjustments need to be done.
MICROPHONE INPUTS
The Omnis Dup offers 2 Microphone Inputs and Level controls from the top panel. The audio signals from both these inputs are directly routed to the Master Output of the device.
The Microphone inputs are not part of the USB Audio interface, so these cannot be added in VirtualDJ Audio setup and will not control the software Microphone section in the MASTER panel of VirtualDJ GUI and vice versa.
However, as mentioned in the Recording section, both Microphone Inputs can be recorded via the REC button of VirtualDJ via the dedicated recording input channel of the Audio interface.
Hardware Effects can be applied to both Microphone inputs when the MIC source is selected from the FX panel on the Omnis Duo screen.
OUTPUT FROM COMPUTER SPEAKERS
The Omnis Duo is a hardware mixer (applies its own Equalizer, Color FX, Effects, volumes etc), so your speakers need to be connected to the rear Master output sockets.
If external speakers are not available, you could use your laptop's internal speakers by adding an additional output auxout, along with an additional input auxin, as shown in the following image.
