Cueing issue

I just bought the Vestax VCI-100 and the Numark DJ iO.

See attachments for my Audio Setup & external soundcard setup.

When I’m playing two tracks on deck A and B and press cue on deck B no sound comes through my headphones.

Looking at my setup you might be able to see what I’m doing wrong.
I hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

The setup is correct, I would recommend getting the latest drivers at DJ|iO | Numark also remember to cue you actually have push the cue button on traktor, not the cue for cuepoint, but rather the buttons in the middle of the screen that have headphones on them and correspond to each deck.

Additional information:
The soundcard is attached directly to my subwoofer - I don’t know if this can have anything to do with it.

Also remember that you need to have the Cue Mix not set all the way to the right, but instead toward the middle to hear it. Also reference your Cue volume and your channel volume on the DJ I/O.

Thanks for the reply mpetersen3.

My driver is up to date and the cue button in Traktor is enabled.

:confused:

Even though the Cue Mix is in the middle and the cue enabled on deck B, all sound (A & B) is comming through my speakers.

Did you turn down the line faders or move the cross fader away from the deck you are running? That would cause it to come out of your speakers. (if this wasn’t the case though you would hear it from both maybe).

I tried everything.. It doesn’t work. :disappointed:

Just to clarify: As you can see in my attached photo of my soundcard only the “OUTPUT 1” is connected to my speakers. “OUTPUT 2” is not connected to anything - does it need to be, and if not, what are they for?

output 2 would be so you could use the soundcard with an external dj mixer then not plug anything into the headphone jack on the card and use the cue on the mixer.

you’re setup looks right from what i can tell, best of luck

Have you tried switchin the outputs around in Traktor i.e. putting monitor as output 1+2 and master as 3+4? It’s just that a mate who owns an Xponent always has the same problem when he hooks up to my setup, it seems to route backwards through the soundcard and switching the outputs fixes it.

11

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I do that it’s reversed problem. No sound through speakers, only headphones :S

Okay, I read something about that you can change the config for your soundcard to 4;1. In the “Numark USB Audio Device” setup, the only thing I can change is Audio Latency Settings.

Any suggestions?

News:

I tried to use another dj software: Virtual DJ

And it worked!

It seems that the settings are more advanced in VDJ than Traktor. I could chose specific settings that made it all work first time. But the other functions are not as good as in Traktor. I hope someone can still help me figure out how to solve the Traktor problem.

Cheers

Problem fixed.

All I needed to do was play around with the monitor select and monitor volume.

Walkman fixes djio cuing problem!

Walkman I followed your thread about cueing problem with djio and traktor.
can you explain in detail what you did? i’m having the same problem
please…help the newbie… me dj:sunglasses:

As I mentioned, the problem was that I had’nt turned up the moniter level and set the monitor selec properly. Play around with those knobs up in the right corner of your controller and you will see what I mean.
