Topic: DDJ-SX and Virtualdj Pro

Questo argomento è obsoleto e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here although I did sign up some time a go, and I hope everyone is well.
I have a quick question, I recently bought a Pioneer DDJ-SX, I love the build quality and think its a great machine, however, I soon discovered a few flaws with serato, and doing some investigation I soon found that not only do these problems exist for PC users, (what I use) but also mac too. Very frustrating as people often say buy a mac and all your troubles will go away, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Now, a few years ago when I came back to dj'ing and going digital, the only equipment I had was an old laptop XP windows, and believe it or not I did quite a few gigs with the virtualdj home free version, and not once had an issue, and using loops and stuff I did a pretty good job with it. So now I hear you can map virtualdj pro with the SX, and as I was having a few problems on this site I can't find what specs a PC windows 7 or maybe 8, (I have both) needs. Could anyone put me in the right direction?
Also, is there anyone here that has a SX and use vdj pro, and does all the features work just like the serato?

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated, like I said, I'm virtually new here and don't know my way around yet. Thanks, Pauly..

Welcome, and you can start here. You can have a look here.
 
Hey,

the SX is natively mapped in virtualdj pro. :-)

there was a time that you had to run the SX in "Non-Serato" mode, but this is now solved.. i think in both the VDJ pro, and the newest firmware.. i know this as i purchased my SX 4 weeks ago, with newest firmware, and srtraight outta the box.. it worked.. :-).. and runs flawlessly,

i just need to make some changes to it for me, to make it "Personal" to my way :-)

hope that helps..

Oh.. i run a 7 year old HP laptop, with 2G ram, and windows 7.. No problem at all

Cheers

Macky
 
it runs flawlessly... no. It works well with virtual dj, YES.
 
There are a few things that virtual dj cannot do well with the ddj-sx, samples are one. I still use vdj with my ddj-sx because 90% of the time I run video, but I prefer serato dj because of the enabled features that vdj does not do well.
 
@burnyabad..

i hear ya.. and some of your issues early on were some of the reasons i held off buying mine until i did.. i was none the wiser as to it running outta the box.. still under the impression that i wold have had to run it in non-sd mode..

flawlessly?.. for me yes.. i have no issues with it.. it works for me, doing what i want / need it to do.. :-)
 
Please people:
Hardware is JUST hardware. A set of buttons, knobs, leds, e.t.c.
Hardware CAN'T change the way software works...

So, please separate your "issues" if they come from software side or hardware side:

DDJ-SX works flawlessly with VirtualDj:
All buttons work, all leds turn on, all knobs work, the jog ring display works, e.t.c.

Whether or not some functions of another program (Serato) can or cannot be emulated/duplicated by Virtualdj is irrelevant to whether the hardware works or not.
The hardware works 100% out of the box. Just install Pioneer ASIO drivers and you are ready.

The software ALSO works with it's own functions/logic. Hardware does not limit the software, nor software limits the hardware.
Does the "unit" behaves the same by using both programs ? Of course not. They are different programs!!! Differences exist and pretty much they will always exist.

Just remember: A controller is just a CONTROLLER. It CONTROLS the software. Nothing more, nothing less. ;)
 
Hey, I believe you.
