Hercules Unveils DJUCED™ 40° 3.5 at 2017 NAMM Show |
Published in DJ Software |
| A brand-new version of the pro DJ software that lets users mix, create and have fun with their music in the most intuitive way possible Anaheim, California – January 19, 2017 – Spearheaded by Hercules, a leader in mobile and professional DJ equipment, the DJUCED™ teams are thrilled to announce the company’s new enhanced version of their pro DJ software DJUCED™ 40° 3.5 at NAMM 2017.  A big part of the teams’ strength lies in the importance they place on listening to their user community when it comes to making improvements in DJUCED™, as was the case with the Sample Editor, and responding to the new expectations that have emerged from the base of 500,000 licensed users. More precise than ever: A fully-scalable interface with 4K support, and high-resolution waveforms  One of the most important aspects for DJs – the ability to view the tracks that they’re working on as precisely as possible – has been taken into account in DJUCED™ 40° 3.5. To make things easier and more comfortable for DJs, the interface automatically adapts to all screen resolutions from 1024 x 600 right up to 4K displays. What’s more, thanks to the new high-resolution waveforms, DJs can use a high-level zoom – with single-sample accuracy – with 6 different vivid color schemes available to enhance viewing precision and speed, and for better interaction with the DJ. Beat Counter  Instantly view the beat alignment between “Master” and “Deck” for easier beatmatching with this new visual tool. Discover even more great improvements!  The “Smart Mix” Automix feature can be used directly from the DJUCED™ 40° 3.5 file explorer. This feature helps users find the best-matching tracks to be played, in terms of BPM and key. Vinyl Torque is an innovative new emulator that lets users feel the weight of real turntable platters, and use the “Brake effect”. And last but certainly not least, improvements to the Scratch feature in DJUCED™ 40° 3.5 now ensure optimized compatibility with the Hercules DJControl Jogvision controller! All of the following Hercules DJ controllers are compatible with DJUCED™ 40° 3.5: • New: Hercules DJControl Jogvision • Hercules DJControl Instinct P8 • Hercules P32 DJ • Hercules Universal DJ • Hercules DJ Control AIR+ S Series • Hercules DJ Control AIR+ • Hercules DJConsole RMX2 • Hercules DJControlWaveM3 • Hercules DJControlWave The new DJUCED™ 40° 3.5 update is be available for download since January 19, 2017 – in the Downloads section at djuced.com. |

Play a mix on a bluetooth speaker while previewing on wired headphones in Mac OS |
Published in DJConsole RMX2 |
| Wired headphones are generally recommended for DJing since wired headphones have no latency, while most bluetooth headphones have a latency which can disturb the DeeJay operations. Bluetooth speakers can be used in DJing to play the music for the audience : bluetooth latency is not disturbing for the audience. Here is a process on Mac OS to use - a bluetooth speaker for the audience, - and wired headphones for the DeeJay preview. 1) Connect the bluetooth speaker to the Mac Go in Preference > Bluetooth and pair the Bluetooth speaker  2) If your audio interface control panel has a menu to set the headphones on the channel 1-2, set the headphones channel on 1-2.  3) Go in Utilities and run Audio MIDI Setup  4) In the Audio MIDI Setup, go to Window Audio devices, and create an aggregate device in clicking on the + button on bottom left  5) In the Aggregate device, add - first, the Bluetooth speaker - second, your audio interface device.   6) Click on Configure Speakers (bottom right of the window) and set: - Aggregate Device as Multichannel: Quadriphonic - Front: channel 1 and 2 - Rear : channel 3 and 4  7) In your DJ software, in the sound setup, set: - Sound Card: Aggregate Device - Outputs Master: Channel 1&2 Headphones: Channel 3&4  You can now - play your mix on the bluetooth speaker for the audience - preview your mix in your headphones. Remark: you can 1) neither use the microphone connected to the audio interface, as the microphone input is not connected to the bluetooth speaker, 2) nor use the output 1-2 of your audio interface to play the mix on wired speakers: your master output is your bluetooth speaker, while the output 1-2 of your audio interface plays the preview. |
