Im not at home.but ill have a look tonight and post a fix if I find 1. It basically sounds like the mic is being turned ontwice and that might be the cause for the distortion, I don't know though.

Hello
After battling for a while on how to connect a mic on VDJ7, I finally got it to work thanks to the video of HEARTBREAKER it was much easier to setup the whole thing.
I must admit that it does not make sense the way its done, but it also a bigger advantage when you can use many effects on the deck that you specify as MICROPHONE.
As you all know the VDJ7 can use multiple decks, i have tried to mix with 4 and sometimes gets a bit confusing and i'm not sure how many djs are actually going to use more than 3 or 4 decks, but i have choosen 3 decks, so therefore the MIC is on deck 3.
So created a key or a shortcut with ( deck 3 linein 'mic' ), choose also a skin with 4 decks or look up in the skin section for a 3 deck skin, and thats all you need to do.
I also have an HERCULES STEEL controller so for those who wants to use the controller for the mic what i did was to change a couple of keys and VOILA mic is working with volume control on my controller.
I used the MASTER VOL. for MIC VOLUME DECK 3 and SCRATCH for MIC ON of course that i did not forget the MASTER VOLUME so i made the BALANCE knob my MASTER VOLUME, it makes life so much easier having only the features you need on the bottons of the controller.
I hope that this small explanation can help others to connect the MICROPHONE on VDJ7 and also on the HERCULES controller.
Give it a try I'm sure it will work 100%

the normal VD 7 4 Decks 1280x1024 there you have the mic switch on top line if youre activation Adv. config. or Micro config over the ASIO Driver.
btw
Hi beatbreaker i saw a Script what you use and played around for the Micro Part on the other Post.
If i mapp this
deck 4 linein mic on & down ? deck 4 linein mic on : deck 4 linein mic off & mic
It works that the normal Mic Switch stays off when i release the mapped key (in my case X) but i dont get it how i can turn this Script
that the mic stays on when pressed once and goes off when pressed another time like " deck 4 linein 'mic' "

Try this..
deck 4 linein mic
or this..
deck 4 linein mic on ? deck 4 linein mic off : deck 4 linein mic on
They both should work.

I was about to really throw a tantrum because I tried the suggested methods and when I used the deck # linein "mic" or whatever the soundcard froze. When I did setup in the advanced config I realized that when I selected Microphone then clicked on the mic button on the skin it came out low and distorted. (Mind you I was using my mic on my primary soundcard realtek something) I have a torq conectiv soundcard and used these settings to give me control and a clean sounding mic. (I use a sm58 shure mic and torq conectiv) Thank you vdj because wow,using the effects are reallllllllllly cool and clean. Let me show you guys how set it. I also never tried 4 decks because I always believed you needed a special sound card. How wrong could I be.lol, I'm using 4 decks and the third deck is for the shure sm58 microphone. All I do is leave the button in the skin called "aux" on because I can easily control the volume of the microphone on the torq conectiv. I believe that the more professional mic and audio interface you have also affects your sound quality.
Torq Conectiv Soundcard (Audio Interface)
Shure sm58mic
Set it as advanced config
Set it as
Click the aux button and their you go.

I have used the fix too and it does work but i do get crackle. The biggest bug bear with me is I cant crossfade between tunes as the mic is one side and doesnt overide whereever the crossfader was as before. This means i cant preview songs without having to remember to put the crossfader back to centre - its a right faff and far from what i expected. I have purchased version 7 , but would be happy to retro to Ver 6 if possible. Can it stil be downloaded and will it work with my key?

You can contact support for an older version.
It's worth noting that you can tell configure a deck to be independent from the crossfader.

Dear SBDJ
Thank you for your reply. I would greatly appreciate some instructions on how to configuire the mic set up in ver 7 as you suggest.
I will try this 1st and hope it allows me not to request a downgrade to Ver 6
Many thanks

@DJLIVESTRONG:
Nice that it works in youre case but some still have the disortion when they shut off the mic on dec 4 the mic switch in the skin goes online.

Hmmm well esp. that is since October what ive heard now is this a bug with some soundcards ..... slowly it is annoying :S
I can just stream with winamp and the shoutcast plugin atm.
Honestly if the other big DJ Prog what is used for streaming (S..) would support .m4a files i would switch!
Nice Talkovers and Micro on Broadcasting with Loops n Jingles so easy to configure!!
:((

After over a week of trying to find a satisfactory solution to this issue, I've decided to look for a new platform. I've used VDJ for 3 years with my Hercules RMX but this mic debacle in VDJ7 is the last straw. As one of the earlier posters replied, "You shouldn't have to climb a mountain to get a mic to work".
I downloaded Traktor Pro 1.2.7 for the first time 2 days ago and was STUNNED at the GULF in quality compared to VDJ. The sound is crisper, dynamically sharper, more responsive, the effects are simple to implement (and these are quality professional plug-ins to), the GUI is 1000% easier to read than VDJ, full screen is one click, broadcast, record all simply located. It really is like comparing Windows 95 with Windows 7. I really have had my head in the sand believing in VDJ and the mediocre "progress" Atomix have made over the last few releases.
I consider myself a pretty competent person, have been behind the decks for many years but the configuration for VDJ now has got conflicting, complex and confusing.
Atomix, you really need to stand back and take a look at your competition as NI (on this comparison) are light years ahead.
