Virtual DJ General FAQ
- Fame What Is it?
- Fame is an acronym for Fast Automated Mix Engine. This was developed by atomix and based off of the solid design of atomixmp3 a now distant cousin to VDJ. As you can see, those settings are adjustable, but first we will look at what those features are and how they can benefit you.
- Bpm Engine
-
The bpm engine uses two separate algorithms to calculate the bpm of a given track. There are two choices
- Tecno/Hip Hop
- Any Music
For most users the one called any music will work best. There is a new option in 2.1 to scan tracks via right click in the browser with either engine.
- Auto BPM
- The auto bpm gives us options on how vdj will react to a track loaded in either player that has not been scanned. those options are:
- Enabled - This option will scan all tracks loaded into the player it can slow down the track loading process in vdj if your ram is on the slow side.
- Disabled - This option will turn off scanning of a track when loaded into the player
- Smart - This option will enable vdj to chose the best option when loading a track to either option. For example if a track is already scaned, it will act as disabled. If a track is not scaned it will act as enabled.
- Auto Gain
- This option allows VDJ to control the gain of your tracks loaded into either player the options are
- Disabled - The track will load with no adjustments to the gain.
- Always Match - Track will all match the gain level of the first track loaded into the player.
- Always 0db - Vdj will make adjustments so that tracks will play at what vdj considers to be 0 DB in other words max volume.
- Auto Pitch & Auto Eq Rest
- Both of these basically do the same thing, rest
- when a new track is loaded into either player.
- Auto Cue
- The auto cue has three options
- Disabled - turns off the auto cue feature
- Enabled - This feature will set to cue #1 if
- available if no cue is set vdj acts as it were disabled.
- Always - VDJ will look for any cue to fast forward to
- Reguardless if its number one or not. Track will
- load and cue to the first available cue point
