Setup Guide

9
The most common External Mixer configuration is using the ASIO driver (PC) or 4-out Card (Mac)
option.
In this configuration, the sound card of choice typically has multiple stereo out combinations. Most
common are 2 stereo (4 mono) outputs. In the following examples, we use the Hercules DeeJay Trim
4&6 sound card for the various external mixer combinations.
EXTERNAL MIXER – LEFT DECK AND RIGHT DECK ON SEPARATE OUTPUTS
With Inputs set to None, Outputs set to External Mixer, and Sound card set to ASIO Driver; this is the
most common configuration that will be used. For the Outputs the assignment is Left Deck: Chan
1&2 and Right Deck: Chan 3&4. In this configuration, connections from the 1&2 and 3&4 outputs of
the DeeJay Trim are connected to the appropriate Line level input channels on the mixer.
The left deck of VirtualDJ will play out the
channel 1&2 stereo output while the right
deck will play out the channel 3&4 stereo
output.
Just like with the Headphone setups, if
you get the connections backwards; use VirtualDJ to reverse the assignment by changing the output
drop-down to Left Deck: Chan 3&4 / Right Deck: 1&2.
3-CHANNEL EXTERNAL MIXER – LEFT AND RIGHT DECKS WITH SAMPLER
Similar to the standard 2 channel output, the
3-Lines Mixer option allows for the output of
the sampler and track preview deck to be
sent on a separate channel.
By default the options are Chan 1&2: Left
Deck / Chan 3&4: Right Deck / Chan 5&6:
Sampler/Preview. From the output drop-
down (shown at the right) there are several
different choices to select, should the
connections be incorrectly connected to the
mixer.
