YES auto sync is there...and its a tool...to be used when you need to...not as a necessity. 2nd, you should probably find out what the club already has in there...the size of the DJ booth to know if u can even fit your vci-400 into the booth...and if not find work arounds...like 1" cell foam u can put on top of the turntables or CDJS or whatever is already in the club. Im assuming youll have like 2cdj1000s and a djm800 already @ the club...so in that case all you need is to plug your vci400 into 1 channel of the mixer, using RCA cables...have a few of these in your DJ bag...they are cheap and i usually keep about 2 pairs in my bag and have another 4 at home...and make sure they are under 6' as sound quaility can degrade on RCA longer than 6. Gigging: This is where knowing how to beatmatch is important because unless you are the first one playing...you will need to be able to beatmatch into the person playing before you. I see so many novice DJs that go out to clubs and believe they are an awesome DJ...yet they sound horrible...they do not know how to mix and just mush songs into each other...and i also see a ton of DJs who just do Intro to Outro mixing. THIS IS NOT DJING!!! espicially if you are using something like Traktor with autosync. This is why a lot of people hate on controllers. Sorry about the rant...and it is not directed at you. |

| Sebastian Schimmer 30.03.2012 | Jay2 - Are you still happy with your decision switching from S4 to the VCI EGE? If so, what do you like about the VCI, that you didn't on the S4? I'm looking at both closely to upgrade from S2. Thanks!

| Margy Sith 16.04.2012 | @Gapout - Thank you for your response and i'm not trippin off your "rant" either. Background: I've been a bedroom dj for a about three years. Originally, I started with 2 1200s and vestax pmc06 and yes, lol, i can beat match. Before I bought the vci400 EGE, I was using my friend's vci100. I thought I might have needed a soundcard, but there's one built into the vci 400, so that's taken care of. Thanks again. |

| Margy Sith 16.04.2012 | Hello Everyone....i'm a first time poster, so i apologize if this has been repeated Recently got a VCI 400 SE. I've been strictly a bedroom DJ, but have got my first gig coming up. This being my first gig ever, I have no idea what my set up should look like and/or what i need in the club. I'd like to not look like a fool (before i even start playing music) and am hoping someone could give me a rundown. Here is what I have: Mac book pro running Traktor Pro 2 VCI 400se I don't plan on using any other devices, but i may be missing some key items. I really hope someone can help me with this!! Let me know what other things I need or should request the club to provide. Thank you in advance. -SC |

I checked out the mapping description and see its using beatslicer and cuepoints.. Would love to see a vid with traktor screen and the ege controller to see whats going on during the slicer and perf mode |

| Cliff Lohman 19.03.2012 | Cant believe theres no vids yet showing off traktor slicer mode.. Im dying to see how well they integrated that via the firmware.. |
| Emanuel Kepics 18.03.2012 | ... nearly 200 posts on a single thread covering dozens of different topics already. VCI-400 topic needs it's own subcommunity . |

| Jeniffer Lupardus 18.03.2012 | Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the fader on the VCI 400 to the Vestax CF-X2 as you can with the VCI 300 and 380? |
| Emanuel Kepics 18.03.2012 | Still can't power mine up due to missing power supply adapter but meanwhile, I have a question. Is it possible to access the VCI-400's soundcard from mutiple programs (Traktor/ Maschine/ Live etc) at once? |
| Charmain Liesegang 17.03.2012 | Agreed, control of the platter needs to be tighter. This is the only thing really lacking and seems like it should be able to be fixed. |

| Ruiz dB 17.03.2012 | How are the jog wheels on the EGE? I'm really struggling with my VCI-400 (standard) because I was expecting better responsiveness... Meaning, I was expecting to pull off the same scratches as I could with my S4, expecially since this is Vestax's flagship controller. I've owned a VCI-300 and loved the integration with ITCH... But if I can't get a similar response with the VCI-400, I may return it. DJTT did a firmware upgrade to the VCI-100 to improve this... Did they incorporate this into the EGE? I know most people on here are EDM DJ's or controllerists... but turntablists need love too! |

| Ruthe Picarello 14.03.2012 | Thanks for help Its 5 in the morning her now. But now i can look forward to mixing tomorrow |
| Charmain Liesegang 14.03.2012 | Pitch control issues. Goes up and down but not allowing me to have smaller % ranges. DOes not read right on TP2. SOrry, I know we don't have VCi-400 community . |
| Johnetta Olewine 14.03.2012 | y'all need to set up your output to the VCi headphone out. And turn up the monitor out in traktor |
| Charmain Liesegang 14.03.2012 | I too am not getting ANY audio from the headphones. Am I not setting something in preferences? |

| Ruthe Picarello 14.03.2012 | I got the VCI-400 ean golden edition today. Was really looking forward to use it on work toevening . But offcourse somethings went wrong :-/ I have some issues with the pitch control. Cant seem to pitch the songs to go faster, just slower. If the pitch control is at max speed the song is playing the original tempo. If the pitch control is at neutral (normally 0,0% pitch) the song goes slower then the original tempo. So the whole range of the pitch control makes the song goes slower. And i cant get any sound whatsoever out of the headphones connected to the VCI-400. In the audio setup in traktor i can use Vestax VCI-400 (ASIO) or Vestax VCI-400 (WASAPI (Shared Mode)). The only difference with these settings is that i have to manually choose the output routing if im in (WASAPI (Shared Mode)). Audio-Setup.jpg When installing the VestaxASIO_v152 driver i dont seem to get i right? Checking the device recognition in device manager. Under the sound video and game controllers: I only got a driver called Vestax VCI-400 Audio. In the install guide its says USB Multi-Interface Driver Vestax DFU: I dont get it at all. Vestax DJ Controller: This is the only of these 3 steps that seems to be in order. Device-Manager.jpg I have tried to install/uninstall several times. With the driver from the cd and from westax home page. Rebooting my computer after each step. Its the same story every time. Anybody who knows how i fix this? |
| Charmain Liesegang 14.03.2012 | Ok, restart got it goin. now to tinker! |
| Charmain Liesegang 14.03.2012 | Got things somewhat working, cant get VCI to show up in the Audio/ midi screen |
| Charmain Liesegang 14.03.2012 | I seem to be having issues. I turned on the VCI, some lights came on but, nothing great. I expected it to at least light up the lights in a quick lil display or something likethe DDJ-T1. Anyway, I did the firmware, tsi file and everything. I cannot even get the controller to show up in the Audio/Midi setup. and I am not getting any action from traktor at all. I'm sure it is simple. help. |
| Kiyoko Hansey 14.03.2012 | I haven't spent much time on the EGE, right now I'm running into an issue where my Mac has a weird problem with my 27" monitor. Keeps displaying the screen slightly off when I used the display port, adjust it, then returns again off center. A few minor things, I'm kinda of surprised that the bottom of the controller is all plastic (or appears to be plastic?). Also the browser dial feels weak compared to the other knobs. I was expecting something like the 05-ProII, just got to be careful with this controller. |
