Hey folks, after a couple of months using the free version of Virtual DJ, I've got pretty good at mixing/beat-matching etc, but when it comes to
blending EQ's I'm having difficulty because of simply not being able to do 2 things at once. For instance, I'd like to be able to move the
crossfader, and turn up/down the low/mid/high ranges at the same time, but it seems like the only key commands I can use are the
PgUp/PgDn (or Ctrl PgUp/PgDn) crossfader options. That helps a little, but it acts like a nudge rather than a smooth transition from left to right
etc. Is there any way to have use of the crossfader via the keyboard that has a fluid motion like using the mouse.....OR.....alternatively, is
there a way of having key commands for the low/mid/high knobs, so I'm free to use the mouse for everything else? (Also, I thought the
Automix commands might help with my problem, but they seemingly did nothing when I tried it - not sure what I did wrong there) Thanks a
lot for any help ya'll can give me - Jamez

This is why people use controllers with VDJ, or send the outputs to an external mixer.
It needn't cost very much to buy yourself a controller which includes an LE version of VDJ - and you can then use the LE version to get a discount on upgrading to the full Pro version.

The problem is not in VDJ, its how the KEYBOARD behaves. If your pressing to many KEYS at once, some of those keys will not register. The Keyboard encoder has this limitation (Ghosting Effect).
Here is a good read about how keyboard works.

Keys on a keyboard will also repeat at a set interval, so if you map an action such as crossfader or EQ knob movement to a key, it will move in steps at the keyboard's repeat rate. You can map it to move in smaller increments (E.g: crossfader -0.01% ) , but it will then move at a much slower rate.
The best solution that will also allow you to perform multiple actions at once more easily is to upgrade to a MIDI controller with real knobs and sliders.

Thanks for the help and advice everyone - just in case anyone else needs the same thing, you're going to want to do the following: Hit "Config", then "Mappers", then scroll down the bottom where you can make a "New" key command. Then for the eq, you'll want to write "deck 1 eq_low +5%" (or however fast/slow you want the eq to be changed), and then assign a key not already in use, then "deck 1 eq_low -5%" to crank it the opposite way. For the opposite deck, its the same command except it's "deck 2", (not leftdeck/rightdeck like I previously thought). For the crossfader, see the above post. I'll certainly be getting a controller in the future, but for the moment, this definitely helps a lot. There's also a big list of other "verbs" (actions) not already assigned to keys at http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript_verbs.html . Hope this helps anyone that had the same problem that I had.
