I’ve been sitting for a long time with this issue… Me and my friend always DJ with 2. We have been doing this on 1 laptop but the problem is if one of is prelistening/cueing up his song, the other one can hear this too. So we can’t prelisten/cue up at the same moment, we have to wait untill the other one has finished.
I’ve bought a litte adapter that splits the headphone jack in 2, so that we don’t have to share our headphone. Now we both got our own headphone but we keep hearing the sound from the other one…
My question is there a solution to split the prelisten/cueing? We’ve got each our own hercules RMX + 1 hercules MK2 (so that makes 3 soundcards at our disposal). Is there a way so that I (DJ 1) can hear for example deck A&B through my headphone and that my friend (DJ 2) can hear deck C&D trough his headphone.
I thought i could fix this problem easily by using 2 laptops, each using 1 soundcard (RMX) and by syncing the 2 laptops by midi. This hasn’t been very succesfull…
I was expecting that somebody would say this. I know that it is possible to route the decks separately to different soundcards… I know that some people know how to do it, so why not do it that way…
Believe me, the hours you’ll spend on this forum looking for an answer on how you two can press the sync button and match both sounds together is much better spent learning to beatmatch.
It’s genuinely a skill that at some point in your DJing career, you will need.
Hmm have been googeling a lot around midi.. The problem is that neither the hercules RMX or the MK2 has midi connections… So i was looking to send the midi signals via internet/wifi but without succes…
I’ve managed to combine the 2 soundcards in traktor via Asio4all.
Now my question is, do I have to selected Internal or External mixing mode in output routing?
So we’ve got 2 hercules RMX and 1 hercules MK2. How do I assign this so that we can route our output of the RMX’ to the MK2 and use this one as a mixer…
I’ve been tryin to figure this out for a little bit…im guessing by not having the units infront of me…go from the rmxs master rcas in on the MK2.
Leave traktor in internal mixer and map all of the funtions but the crossfader that you want to control…Your unit A and B would have vol, eg, gain, play, pause, all basic funtions except the crossfader, and have your friend mapped to the same things on decks C and D…then i would just use my volume faders for mixing and when friend wants to come in…move crossfader on the MK2 and mix into it. then your friend can take over and continue to mix using the volume faders on his RMX.
God that sounds confusing reading it back, hope it helps.
The problem is when i leave traktor to internal mixing mode I can only 1 soundcard to use as monitor/cue/prelisten, I want to know if it is possible to use the 2 soundcards to prelisten and use the mk2 as mixer to combine the 2 RMX… thanks…
yes…or mix from the same computer, let them know a song in advance there coming in next and pass of the headphones as soon as you have you song cued and ready to mix. That way he has some time to look for a song and can see what your doing before you go into it. Mixed like this for a while till i could afford my own rig.
