Hi,

i am trying to use 4 decks with VDj 7 but have come accross afew problems.

channel 1 - sound only comes out of the right speaker

Channel 2 sound only comes out of the left speaker

when channel 2 is at 0 & I what to listen when headphones, the sound can be heard live, when it should only be in my headphones.

channel 3 & 4 are pefect.

i have posted in VDJ but have not been able to resolve, I spoke with the Dj store I bought the product from & they think it is do with the mapping, while other user on VDj think it may be the VMS 4.

I was wondering if anyone able to advise what mapping changes I should make.

When advising please tell me in simpliest of terms,as I dont really understand medi mapping yet.

Thanks
Graham

You'll want to make sure of several things, Graham:

1: Set your VMS4 to 8 out on the front panel.

2: Set VirtualDJ to the advanced mode for soundcard channel selection.

3: Once you've done that, you'll have options to set "decks" to pairs of channels. Do so:

1 - 1/2
2 - 3/4
3 - 5/6
4 - 7/8

Note that at this point, it should work. However, you have a decision to make with the crossfading.

Personally, I just turn the crossfader off. I like fading each channel in and out individually.

However, if you choose to crossfade, remember two things:

1: The knobs on the front to select what channels are being faded are still in play.

2: Channels not selected by the knobs are on throughput.

Have fun! I'll try to make things clearer if I'm not being clear enough already. I'm not in front of my DJing system at the moment so I may have got some naming wrong.
You'll need to somehow map the selections for the active deck on each side as well. I was lazy and just stacked them on the cue mappings, which works but has a few quirks. However, I intend to remap the pitch bend buttons to them this week, maybe.

That mapping, however, would not cause 1 to come out your left speakers and 2 to come out your right. That's exceptionally odd. Did your system do this when it was in 2-deck mode?
The correct settings to use all of the 4 decks in vms4 for VDJ7 Pro: (try it) 1st: Set the skin to 4deck 2nd: Go to mapper, type in at the action learn tab CH1_PFL deck 3 select, CH2_PFL deck 1 select, CH3_PFL deck 2 select, CH4_PFL deck 4 select. 3rd and last: Advanced Configurations deck1-asiodriver-output 3&4, deck2-asiodriver-output 5&6, deck3-asiodriver-output 1&2, deck4-asiodriver-output 7&8.
