VCI-400 Problem
VCI-400 Problem Posted on: 20.11.2011 by Lise Kleinhaus Hello,i have a Problem with the Filterknobs on my VCI-400. I show this Problem in this Video: http://youtu.be/J-kWu1YmEyM If anyone have an answer let me know. | |
| robin loo 13.12.2011 | it is already released in europe.. |
| Andra Demin 13.12.2011 | and i have a small question =- the shop, in which i'm buying my vci 400, told me they got the new vci400 in second week of november, as a first part of euro release - i heard that the lunch is/was in december - is there a possibility they're selling me the test version of vci? they say it's new and packed and so on. how can i check it? |
| Andra Demin 13.12.2011 | i'm getting mine vci 400 in a week. i have a pc with vista 32bit sp2, p8400, core 2 duo 2,26 GHz, 4 GB ram. well, what can i say, i'll take the risk then. - they have to fix those problems with latency and i guess they will. the've been testing it on mac/pc right? does anybody have same problems like Azu and Goomo? If i'll have to wait for 2 months for a driver of firmware update - so be it. but if not? are there any chances they won't fix it? |
| Israel Sulka 13.12.2011 | Goomo: I have at home more than 1 year DDJ-T1 and MEP7000 + DJM5000, here wanted something smaller to backpack so VCI400 bought here, but with Traktor 2 under Windows it is useless (in other programs or Traktor Pro 1 VCI400 works well) |
| Kiera Swell 13.12.2011 | Traktor Pro 2.1.1 |
| Karena Jethwa 13.12.2011 | which version of traktor pro 2 are you running? |
| Kiera Swell 13.12.2011 | @Azu: Which one will you get instead? |
| Rolande Posso 13.12.2011 | I am glad I saw this thread on a windows machine was gona get one for xmas believe I will wait now ! |
| Israel Sulka 13.12.2011 | My VCI-400 back to the store tomorrow. Driver not compatible with Traktor 2 under Windows, low master output, Serato Intro is still not available, bye bye Vestax and go back to Pioneer |
| Kiera Swell 13.12.2011 | I`ve already read this community ... this PC is much older than my one. I`ve got an Intel DualCore 2,0GHz with 3GB Ram, which totally meet the minimu requirements. And there can`t be a problem with my system... other controllers and soundcards works great. Even the VCI-400 with my old external Yamaha recording card delivers 15ms of latency... So its definitly a vestax driver issue. |
| Mendy Yaws 13.12.2011 | @Goomo: Maybe it's just your unit and / or your system. This is a german post on the latency of the vci 400 on an old windows pc: http://www.deejaycommunity .de/36-dj-soft...nz#post6459125 |
| Kiera Swell 13.12.2011 | I`ve already done that... all the way from germany. In their answer they linked me up to the official german vestax community
... to a post of me, which includes the info that there is a driver update coming, which sets the CPU priority... So nothing new from them. I wrote back... and gave them a view tips, how they should handle their costumers and what not should happen, if you wanna sale a pro-controller for controllerists... I was a little bit angry... Got no feedback so far...mmhh |
| Kacy Wehrmeyer 13.12.2011 | cheers bud i emailed [email protected] today I'll see what comes of it |
| Karena Jethwa 13.12.2011 | i believe it could be an acpi power management thing with your windows machines. I had the same issues with my old windows laptop did a whole bunch of registry fixes to sort it out. |
| Kacy Wehrmeyer 13.12.2011 | I blasted aroud for about 1hr today at 512buffer 21ms latency, with no audio jumps. (But 512buffer is pretty lame) and it was jumping on 512 yesterday. one audio dropout is too many i've decided. 256 buffer was crackly and jumpy. with drop outs. I might try that CPU priority thing, can i change it back? I might ring vestax today, What is the UK support number or email? also Numark I used to DJ with 4xNumark Axis 9s. loved them lots but some gigs you would have to switch them on and off 30 times to get them to come back on during a set! so i treat Numark with a little bit of caution.

There you go to the running processes and right click on the Traktor.exe. There should be an option available to change the priority... @Kolt: Every comment is helpful in this case. I`m really jeleous about your 6ms... thats practically 0. This was the latency I mentioned when I ordered this one. I really feel like I`ve payed 800 to be Vestax Beta-Tester... Makes me angry so I`ll definitly send my one to where it comes from. Next year the N4 will come up. A four deck controller you also could use as standalone and with timecode. And now there is the punch right into the face... It will cost around 400 |
| Mendy Yaws 13.12.2011 | Sorry, I know that that won't help you, but just for the record: Works great with 6ms on my 2007 MacBook Pro. No drop outs, no hustle... |

13.12.2011 | I'd guess it's because we're on v1 of the drivers. I can only get 20ms out of mine without problems whereas I can get 16ms on ASIO4ALL on my internal soundcard. Send an email to Vestax support telling them about it and wait a bit for an updated driver. |
| Kacy Wehrmeyer 12.12.2011 | I had a vci100mk2 before it never dropped out New vci400 results "set the latency" to setting 2, buffer size 128 latency 5,4 = drop out every few seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQwI5...ature=youtu.be setting 4, buffer size 256 latency 10,6 setting 8, buffer size 512 latency 21,4 = drops out about every 15 minutes setting 16,buffer size 1024 latency 42,6 setting 32 buffer size 2048 latency 85,4 I tried turning mutli thread on off no difference also my CPU is on about 33% when it drops out? surely it would peak if that was the cause? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xR_u...ature=youtu.be also PSU - after 3 hours use (road ready....good luck for the gig) seriously though i feel i should expect absolutely no drop out during a live performance? The vci100mk2 never did anything like this? Why is it 48 only rather than 41? why can't we switch the sample rate to 44100 hz |

| Dionne Bullock 11.12.2011 | Azu, Goomo, I don't know how to say this, but I am fairly sure that there has to be something wrong with your configurations. I am sorry to be vague, but I can't help but believe so because the VCI did everything it promises on my mac (96 kHz out put, latency fine at the lowest setting, etc..) while I know that the in-house testers at Vestax are mostly windows users. I wish I could help further but I don't have a windows laptop to test the VCI, which I would have to borrow from Vestax again anyway. Too bad the units are not sold in the US yet because surely you will get a lot more feedback once the US DJs start getting their VCI's. Please be patient as I am still playing catch ball with the Vestax guys here in Japan, hopefully I will return with more info. |
| Kiera Swell 11.12.2011 | I have a mapping problem: Theres a shift button on the VCI, which is in hold-mode. I mapped them "new" to trigger the shift function on/off... So far no prob... but now I want to map the led of this button to give a feedback. it should light up when the shift-button turns the modifier 1 to 1 and don |
| Israel Sulka 10.12.2011 | This is my mapping a configuration file for Traktor Pro 1.2.8, this Traktor version work too fine with 8ms |
| Israel Sulka 10.12.2011 | if have test vci400 on deckadance, here in attachment is my litle mapping file for deckadace 1.93 |
| Israel Sulka 10.12.2011 | DJQA: VCI-400 ASIO can not be used simultaneously in multiple applications. Now i try other software Deckadance, Virtual DJ LE, MixVibes Cross and in all software controller work perfect latency 4ms, only in Traktor not work. In Traktor check and uncheck multiple processors, in task manager try priority high, set only selected processors and not work correctly. |
| Kiera Swell 10.12.2011 | Yeah... in my case thats possible. I use Traktor with VCI-400 and at the same time another application with my external soundcard (with ASIO4ALL). But if I use Traktor with ASIO4ALL its not possible to run another application with the external device. I don |

| Israel Sulka 10.12.2011 | VCI400 driver only ASIO, Driver not as WDM, WASPAI, Direct Sound and other. Frequency only 48000, ony set latency I try VirtualDJ LE inc. wit controller, here works sound perfect latency 8 ms, but this software not for profesional use same a Serato DJ Intro, this sfotware for beginners. |

| Kiera Swell 10.12.2011 | Done. There is no differnce (that I hear or feel) between multicore en-/disabled. And for both its only the 48.000Hz available... |
