• AUDIO INTERFACE - Selects your soundcard/audio & driver. PC users: We
recommend using an ASIO driver, Deckadance installer includes the
ASIO4ALL.
• SAMPLE RATE - Select the play-back frequency of your audio interface.
44100 Hz (44.1 kHz) is most common although some interfacces use 48000
Hz (48 kHz).
• AUDIO LATENCY - This is a working buffer (breathing space) used by
Deckadance to avoid CPU overload. As the latency is increased the delay
between moving a MIDI/interface control and hearing/seeing the result is at
least equal to this setting (in ms). The ideal buffer is the smallest your
computer can manage without causing glitches. Notes:
- Generally - For most DJ work there is no need to set a latency below
512 samples (~11 ms @ 44.1 kHz).
- Elastique - When Elastique master tempo engine is active, a minimum
suggested latency is 128 samples. We also recommend multiples of
this latency in case longer latencies are required: 256, 512, 1024,
2048.
- DVS - For DVS 'scratching' we suggest that you disable the master
tempo engine and reduce the latency as low as possible around (88
samples for an average computer and soundcard with ASIO drivers).
• CONTROL PANEL - Opens the soundcard driver interface. PC users: If your
audio interface does not have native ASIO drivers we recommend using
ASIO4ALL ("Audio (ASIO4ALL) PC Only") soundcard driver. This allows you to
use more than one audio input/output device.
Hint: The audioendine can handle both audio inputs and outputs. Inputs are
used to accept control signals from vinyl/CDJs and from microphones for PA
(Public Address). Audio input are NOT not available in MAGIX Digital DJ, so all
input settings have no noticeable effect. To activate these functions, you must
upgrade (view page 9) your version to Deckadance Home or Club Edition.
• INPUTS - Select audio input configuration. Your ability to use the options
below will depend on the number of inputs your audio interface has:
- No inputs - Using only MAGIX Digital DJ internal audio sources.
- Mic - You are using a single microphone input. Must we listen to your
voice?
- One deck - You have a single deck, Vinyl or CDJ. Cheapskate!
- Two decks - You have two decks, Vinyl and or CDJ. You rock!
- Two decks and a mic - You have two decks, Vinyl and or CDJ plus a
mic. Playing with the big league now...
