Re: Cross fading

One thing I initially liked about this is you can run the audio output

of the second player to the first player and then from the first player

to your mixer. This effectivly cuts the number of audio outputs to

your mixer in half.

If you make your own mixer, or modify one, you'll find that adding another input is generally as simple as adding a pair of RCA jacks and two resistors if it is a simple inverting amp with a summing node. This alleviates the inputs issue.

But.. I have discovered that when the players are in this mode the CDJ

cross fade doesn't work properly. As the manual states.. 'When you press

the play button on either unit, the operating player stops and the idle

player starts'. What happens is CDJ sends the signal to start the second

player to begin fading in the second song but this signal to start the

second player causes the first player to stop right away. In this mode

you arn't allowed to have both players play at the same time.

Question #1.. Anybody know a way around this ?

Don't buy master-controller players ;) Seriously, I don't own any master-control players, so I haven't had much chance to fool around with them. My experience has been that they think they are omnipotent and try to run the show.

Seperate topic... but related to Cross Fading...

Colby.. I have convinced myself that their is something amiss with your

graphical representation of the cross fader in CDJ. CDJ itself is working

as expected and issueing the proper fade down / up and overlap values.

But the graph representing those settings doesn't look right.

I fixed the graph. Basically, it was showing an overlap value twice as big as it actually was. I also increased the overlap limit to 60 sec to keep things the same.
