How can I delete the Cue points in Hercules Mobile DJ Mix? |
|
| Mobile DJ Mix automatically places cue points in the music tracks, so if you want to play your music from the start, without cue points, your must change this setting. There is a simple way of having no cue points with Hercules Mobile DJ Mix: 1) You need Mobile DJ Mix 1.04 or 1.05 (downloadable on Hercules website), since Mobile DJ Mix 1.03 doesn't provide this function. 2) Before analyzing the tracks for which you want no cue points, you must click on Cfg button, and in General menu, enable the option "Disable Automatic Cueing". If you have already analyzed your music tracks while the AutoCue function was on, the Cue points have already been set, so to delete the existing cue points for a music track which has already been analyzed and cue points saved: 3) You need Mobile DJ Mix 1.04 or 1.05 (downloadable on our website), since Mobile DJ Mix 1.03 doesn't provide this function. 4) When Mobile DJ Mix software is off, move in the directory C:Documents and SettingsUsernameHerculesMobileDJMix DataStripes, and delete the file of the music track name with extension fst (for example, if the music track name is "I_Wanna_Be.MP3", the information file to delete is "I_Wanna_Be.fst") 5) You can then start Mobile DJ Mix software, click on Cfg button, and in General menu, enable the option "Disable Automatic Cueing". 6) Then when you load your music track whose .fst file was deleted, this Cue points have disappeared. |

Can Mobile DJ interfere with WLAN networks? |
|
| Mobile DJ communicates with its USB dongle in a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol: it uses neither WIFI nor Bluetooth. Mobile DJ proprietary protocol operates at a base frequency of 2.407GHz, and when it detects noise in its frequency, it moves by steps of 250KHz to the next noise free frequency channel. The dynamic frequency adjustment lets Mobile DJ adjust to 2.4 GHz wireless networks (WIFI, Bluetooth) so that - Mobile DJ doesn't interfere with wireless networks, - and the wireless network doesn't interfere with Mobile DJ. You should place Mobile DJ USB dongle at 2 feet or more from any other 2.4 GHz transmitter (WIFI, Bluetooth or audio/video proprietary transmitter) to get a good transmission range, since if they are closer, both systems will continuously jump from 1 frequency to another to avoid each other disturbance, and such continuous channel changes reduce the transmission range. For the same reason, you should place a WLAN device at least 2 feet away from another 2.4 GHz device (Bluetooth, audio/video transmitter..) to optimize the range of your WLAN network. |

Is Mobile DJ MP3 compatible with rechargeable batteries? |
|
| You can power Mobile DJ MP3 - either with 2 pre-charged batteries (C type / LR14) (Alkaline or zinc carbon batteries) - or with 2 rechargeable batteries (C type / LR14) (Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel-Cadmium (NICAD or NiCd)) The only difference is the operation time, which is longer for alkaline batteries. It is not recommended to power Mobile DJ MP3 with 1 rechargeable battery + 1 pre-charged battery since their operation times are different and their voltage are different (1.5v for the pre-charged battery versus 1.2v for a rechargeable battery). |

How long can I mix with Mobile DJ with the same 2 batteries? |
|
| Battery lifetime depends on your battery model - alkaline batteries capacity is the highest (up to 7500 mAh) - carbon zinc batteries capacity is lower than alkaline - rechargeable batteries have the smallest capacity (up to 3000/4000 mAH per charge, but you can recharge them). Mobile DJ consumes over 300mA with LCD backlight on, but not much as soon as the LCD switches off. Mobile DJ should provide continuous mixing for - 15 to 25 hours with 2 fresh rechargeable batteries (akkus) - 30 to 50 hours with 2 good alkaline batteries. It may be shorter with old batteries and longer with excellent batteries. |
