I have a copy of VDJ Home 5.2 that I purchased a year or so ago from this site.
From the beginning, I was not able to figure a way to feed my VDJ Home an external microphone or line input.
As a result, I run VDJ as a music play source into a 10-channel mixer whose output is fed to a PC that encodes the audio using the latest version of Edcast.
The advantage to the setup is that I can add Skype calls with ultimate audio quality ("Virtual patch cables" create quality problems that far outweigh any tyechnical solution that they may offer) and use the pre-fader Aux Buss as a cue channel/Mix Minus system.
The disadvantages to this setup is the fact that metadata does not make it to Edcast because the audio jumps from the digital world to the analog world (via the mixer) then back to the digital world. Also, Edcast is not the most reliable encoder...
The ultimate solution, for me, is to be able to feed Virtual DJ the output of my audio mixer and use VDJ's built-in encoder as a replacement for Edcast. This allows metadata to pass to the encoded stream and the ability to do all the magical things that the audio mixer is set up to do!
Unfortunately, I can't make heads or tails of the features and benefits of the various VDJ products! Is there a VDJ product that takes an external audio source (hopefully line level) and combine/mix it with the playing audio files then send it to an internal Shoutcast-compatible encoder?
If so, I would LOVE to buy a license!
