18/30 – User Manual
5.3.4. Audio tab (not available on PC)
In the Audio t
ab (on Mac only), you can change the sample size from the default value (16-bit) to
24-bit. The best audio setting for VirtualDJ is the default setting of 16-bit/44.1kHz, which provides
the best response time. For software where response time is not as important, you can play music
in 24-bit mode (44.1KHz or 48 KHz) in Mac OS (Core Audio).
5.3.5. Advanced tab
- This tab allows you to set the MIDI
channel for controls (1-2, by default), in the event that there
is some conflict between your DJ Console 4-Mx and another MIDI device. If you have more
than one Hercules device installed on your system, the MIDI channel numbers are assigned in
pairs by order of connection, i.e. incrementally (1-2, 3-4 and so on, up until 16).
- You can adjust the cro
ss fader settings according to your preference (BeatMix Curve by
default). The different settings that are available affect the way that the cross fader functions as
you move it from side to side, in relation to the central position: depending on how you will be
mixing, you may wish for the cross fader’s action to be applied much more sharply when it is
moved from the central position (meaning that if you move the cross fader even a little bit to the
left, for example, the effect will be as though it had been moved all the way to the left; and the
same when moving it to the right), or less sharply. You can experiment with the different curves
