Quick update

I had a blast on VDJ

its good in some ways, different to the traktor map with fx hotkeys on the rubber buttons. But its a bit windows95. and the effects are shockingly bad.

But its good to have a blast on something else other than traktor for an afternoon.

Back to latency.

I jammed traktor for an hour on 512 buffer, seems pretty safe on the (massive) 20ms latency.

but back on any other 256 or 128 was bad

BUT .....

i tried the Task Manager setting priority for traktor.exe (cheers for that little tip

)

on 'highest' it was still a bit problematic but on 'realtime' it seemed to cope even on the lowest 5.4ms latency. (i only ran the test for 10 or 15 minutes)

so it might be good news

I need to re-establish trust in audio not dropping out, but for now it seems better with the TASK Manager setting to 'realtime' for traktor.exe

is 'realtime' a bad setting to have it on?

also Power supply........ I am promised a replacement, but i don't hold much hope for the robustness if i can break it getting it out the box a few times. When the power supply stops, the VCI400 looses all control in traktor, even after the power is back on. so it's really a bad thing to happen.

if the power for the vci400 has been interrupted, Is there a way of re-engaging the controller to control traktor, without having to close traktor and open it again?

Anyone use the VCI-400 real on PA in the club?
I try XRL output form VCI-400 on PA (RCF TT22-A + RCF TTS12-A) but master output is low. In the programs is an indicator of the red peak. Sound from my NI Audio 8 DJ has at 40% more than VCI400

Today released a new version of Serato DJ intro, but the VCI-400 is still not supported!

I'm interested in this too, does anyone have a volume comparison to other outputs from other decks or audio cards?

What i did was:

Ctrl+Alt+Del (Task manger.)
Find Traktor.exe
Right click - go to process
Right click process - set priority to 'realtime'

(initially for 10 minutes, it had a positive response to low latency without drop outs, but i need to run more stability tests)

This really helped me yesterday, but i ran out of time to do more than 10 minutes testing. So I need a bit more time to see if it actually is a fix.

Also this setting did not have to be set for any other gear (Reloop DJ2, Audio2DJ, Vestax VCi100mk2). So it is still a little odd that the more expensive unit needs this setting?

@Goomo - Did this not work for you?

Hey Goomo,

Sorry this took long. I am not sure this will help, but firstly, the Vestax people seem to be aware of a driver issue that occurs in versions up to 2.1.1. This particular problem is supposed to be gone in 2.1.2. Have you ever updated to 2.1.2?

Azu, I am sorry you had to let go of your 400... The 400 comes with a brand new sound card... perhaps the sound card wasn't quite ready yet...

Hi all,
just got the VCI 400 and I have a problem, the computer recognizes and installs fine but when I open traktor pro 2 recognizes the VCI 400 midi signals but do not send data or jogs, faders, buttons or knobs, nothing does nothing.
If you load a track and hit the play with the mouse, the music goes by the VCI 400 but nothing works, or volume or anything.
Please if you can help me, thanks.
My computer is Intel Core 2 duo, win xp, 2.26 ghz, 4 mb ram,
