Upon opening the application, an interface menu is displayed. Interfaces called "skins" feature different configurations, layouts and functionality of the software. Let's begin by selecting "Internal mixer interface" to become familiar with the most important features of the software. [. . . ] Auto-Cross Length ­ Use this slider to specify the duration of the fade during automatic mixing. If this is set to 0 (left side), the tracks will play from start to finish. AutoLoad Playlists ­ See page 15 ­ "Playlist Setup" AutoSave Unplayed ­ See page 19 ­ "AutoSave Unplayed" 32 PERFORMANCE SETTINGS VirtualDJ provides a simple, yet complex; interface for optimizing performance to the capabilities of the computer based on its specifications. Depending on the system's resources, some settings will work better than others. It is recommended that you take time to adjust these settings to find the optimum setting for your system. NOTE: When new components (controllers, soundcards, external drive, and software) are added to the system, performance options may require changing to achieve a new best possible performance based on the additions or changes to the system. Presets Use this slider to select different preset configurations for the parameters below. Shift the "Presets" slider to the right for "Best Quality" of sound, or shift the slider to the left for "Fastest" performance. NOTE: Not all systems are able to handle the HIGHEST setting for "Best Quality". It is highly recommended to start at the "Fastest" preset and work towards the "Best Quality" setting testing each setting. Soundcard Latency ­ the amount of time it takes for a device to respond to a command. Latency makes a significant difference when using timecoded vinyl, CDs, MIDI or external control devices. The lower the latency setting the more instantly the software will respond, but the more likely you will hear glitches and pops if your computer is not fast enough to process the audio. NOTE: in ASIO mode, some soundcard drivers don't work well with a latency forced by the software. In such case, use the "Auto" value (as pictured), and set the latency in the soundcard's control panel. Safe Mode ­ When using a DirectX mode setting (like Simple, Dual, Mono or 4. 1), VirtualDJ is less likely to produce glitches and pops if your CPU is momentarily busy. The performance trade off is scratching and pitch adjustments will use more CPU, especially with advanced algorithms. So, if using advanced Master Tempo this will probably need to be disabled, unless the computer is very fast. NOTE: this option has no effect on ASIO or Low-Latency modes 33 PERFORMANCE SETTINGS Overclock ­ This setting can make your computer run faster (especially on laptops) and therefore be compatible with lower latencies. Scratch ­ Allows for adjustment to how VirtualDJ reacts to scratch motions Optimize for: Quality ­ VirtualDJ will more accurately represent how a scratch sounds when moving the virtual record back and forth Latency ­ VirtualDJ reacts as quickly as possible but might result in a somewhat more metallic sound. Scratch algorithm: Simple Algorithm ­ adds no computational overhead, and will use a simple interpolation algorithm to compute the scratch sound Enhanced Algorithm ­ uses an advanced algorithm that mimics the movement of the needle on the grooves, to obtain the best scratch sound possible. A filter size of 11 gives the best quality/CPU ratio, producing a very good quality while keeping a low computational overhead. 48kHz <-> 44kHz Describes how VirtualDJ will interpolate between the 48kHz and 44. 1kHz sample rates.
