Fot those who own this software reply please.Im kinda having a problem with the audio part.I cant seem to figure out how to map the sound system,Im using a Behringer U- control 202 along with my laptop running from a mixer.The cue part is whats giving me a problem,I can cue the song playing,but cant cue the opposite deck while its playing as well.The 3.2 version was a little easier to mess with,I know its easier for some of you guys to get this right,please respond and Happy New year to all

I'm reasonably sober today, let's see what I can do... :sqlaugh:

I'm not exactly sure what ya mean by "curing the song playing, but can't cue the the opposite deck while playing as well."

Let's say you have a song playing out to mains in Deck A. I would make the assumption that you are using the 202 for the mains out, and have set them in Rockit's Audio Deck Props. In that case, in order to cue, you would need to use the laptops internal sound card to cue Deck B up.

So, in the Audio Deck Props, both decks would be set to the 202 (probably labeled USB Audio Codec) for the Mains Out, and both decks would be set to the internal card for Monitor Out.

Back to the example:

Deck A is playing to mains, you click the Monitor button on deck B, so it is outputting to the monitor out (your laptop sound card). Cue it up as normal, then switch the monitor off, and it's ready to go when you mix.

I use (2) 202s, so I don't use the monitor button on the software, as I cue off the hardware mixer, just like I had two CD decks or turntables.

Much less latency that way, as the software doesn't have to do any switching between outputs, and possibly losing a few samples in the output buffer along the way.

Let me know if you have any problems, and I can walk you through over the phone :)
