Tópico: Utilizing 4 decks with Hardware with vdj 7?????

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

Hey guys,

I currently have the mixdeck with vdj7. Love it, but.........

I've been trying to figure out how to utilize the 3rd and 4th deck, Since the mixeck only has a two channel (with mono 4 channel) mixer I can only hear decks 1&2. Sometimes when I mess with the settings I can get all four decks playing through one of the channels but I no longer have control over the eq (bass, treble, high) for individual tracks and it just messes with all four at the same time. I've since given up on trying how to figure out how utilize 4 channels with only the mixdeck so I purchased a 4 channel mixer, the numark m6 usb. I made the mistake in assuming that the usb functionality would mean that all 4 channels had usb capabilitites, but alas only one channel (channel 3) has usb access. I've tried to also just do with 3 channels temporarily by using the mix deck as channel 1 and 2, than the m6 usb as the 3rd channel, But virtual Dj freezes up when i'm attempting to under advanced configurations set up the three decks. It keeps stating soundcard error and stops working. I've spent alot of time researching different mixers, drawing up strategies of how to possibly just buy a mixtrack and use RCA splitters and TRS splitters, but that just seems a tad extreme, and I've also seen someone with a similar problem be told to, "go get a sound card". And not really delve into the details of what kind, how to set it up, how to control the eq's for decks 3 and 4. So ideally i would like to control all four decks with the midi controlled cdj's in the mixdeck, than use the mixdeck's onboard mixer for eq with channel 1&2, than route the master output of the mixdeck into the m6 usb, than have the eq controls for decks 3&4 through the m6's controls. And possibly get a TRS splitter for cueing up the songs. Or use the mixdecks cdj's as a midi controll for all four decks and directly connect all outputs of my laptop to the m6, so channels 1-4 would take up the channels 1-4 on the m6 mixer and cueing would be done simply with just the m6. I'm currently running a macbook 13.3 inch that has two usb's, a firewire 400, and the regular headphone jack. So I want to know if anyone has solved this issue, if USB to RCA adapters, a firewire to RCA adapter, and a 1/8 TRS to RCA converter will be able to work all at once on vdj7 and not freeze it up. I've looked at possibly selling my gear to get the vms4, but i'd prefer to stick with numark for the time being. So vdj masterminds and vdj gods.... HELP!!!
