Six years ago we set out to provide a unique service to the DJ community—we believe we succeeded in providing something truly revolutionary that was well received by all of you. Due to a combination of market circumstances and financial constraints, we must re-organize our current structure if we are to successfully serve you in the future. After exhaustively searching for alternatives, we have made the extremely hard decision to shut down our operations. We realize this news comes incredibly fast and we are truly sorry for the inconveniences this may cause. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts for the support you’ve shown Pulselocker and our deepest apologies for the speed and inconvenience of this announcement. We will continue to search for ways to bring the service back to you in a bigger and better way. We are proud of the community that rallied behind our technology and thank you for your support and patronage. Sincerely, The Pulselocker Team So Pulselocker streaming service is no longer active in Serato DJ or in VirtualDJ, since Pulselocker streaming service is closed. |

Optimize your Windows computer for DJing |
Published in Tech Tips |
| If you feel your computer in Windows is slow for DJing, you should check the following settings. 1) Switch off the Wifi, Bluetooth, and any other network connection on your computer before a DJ performance. Network connections consume CPU ressources and may cause crackles in the music. Letting the Wifi receiver switched on is the most dangerous setting for DJing on a computer, since each time the Wifi receiver of the computer detects another Wifi source, the CPU ressources of the computer will drop of 50%: if someone in the street has a smartphone with Wifi on, your computer detects this Wifi source, scans it, and this Wifi identification process takes up to 50% of the computer CPU ressources, possibly causing crackling. 2) Disable Windows preset made to save energy on the USB. This preset is set on by default, and it may cause crackling in the sound, and even disconnect the DJ controller on the computer.
Real time operations as Djing or video capture require to as much CPU ressources as possible, so you should close any other background software during a DJ performance. 4) If possible, move the mouse far from the USB port where you plug the DJ controller If the USB port of your mouse is close from the USB port of your DJ Controller, and if you have enough USB ports for it, you should plug the DJ Controller on a USB port far from the mouse USB port, as the click on your mouse may be heard in the audio played on your DJ controller if the USB port are close one from the other. 5) If you are in Windows 7 or in Windows Vista, avoid Aero graphic theme. Aero graphic themes are CPU intensive, so don't use an Aero graphic theme while doing any real-time task as music production or video capture, select a basic theme instead. 6) Adjust your computer power settings for the best performance - On Windows deskotp, right click on Computer > Properties > Advanced System settings  - Click on "Settings" in the "Performance" area. - In "Visual Effects", click on "Adjust for best performance", and press "OK".  7) If you use a laptop, set your Power plan on "High performance". Press Windows + X keys to call Windows X Menu, and select Power Options.  In Related settings, click on Additional Power Settings. In "Choose or customize a power plan", select High performance.  8) Don't let any USB key connected on the computer You can use USB keys to copy an audio track on or from your computer, but once it is over, unplug it from your computer. USB keys have a slow access time (even USB keys with a fast transfer rate have a slow access time), so if they are connected to the computer, they decrease significantly the computer performance even for task which don't use the USB keys. Never play an audio track directly from a USB key: if you uncompress an audio track on a USB key, the access time of the USB key is so slow that you complete computer because slow. If you want to play a track stored on a USB key, copy it on your hard disk prior to playing it. 9) Make sure your disk is not saturated, DJing requires a large available hard-drive space Windows needs hard drive space to be fast, and playing music requires a significant hard disk space. When loading audio tracks, the audio tracks are uncompressed in the software and need, either in the hard drive + in the RAM, the same space as if they were in an uncompressed WAV format, even if they are stored in a compressed format as MP3, AAC or WMA. Examples of hard drive + RAM needed to uncompress 2 tracks of 10 minutes

DJUCED 40 3.6 is now available |
Published in DJ Software |
| Press Release - September 21st 2017 - Hercules releases the latest and greatest version of its DJUCED 40 software, 3.6, including the Qobuz online audio streaming service. What’s new in DJUCED™ 40° 3.6 ? Here, in DJUCED labs, we constantly improve, test and play with our software. We teamed up with severals DJs and with YOU, the community, to improve the audio engine, the scratch feeling and the general latency of the software, especially with controllers. Better than good, the feeling is great. The integration of Qobuz adds fun to the experience with over 40 million titles to your connected parties. We hope you’ll enjoy this 3.6 version as much as we worked on it. CPU OPTIMISATION – AUDIO ENGINE REWORK DJUCED 40 3.6 has been rebuilt from the inside. The 64-bit integration reduces the CPU consumption to avoid audio dropouts and latency. It works flawlessly, on Mac and PC. MASTER PC SPEAKERS Want to use your laptop speakers and your controller preview at the same time ? It’s just one click in the settings. INTEGRATION OF QOBUZ AUDIO STREAMING SERVICE Mix any track from Qobuz catalogue as a normal track. Search from within DJUCED browser the song you need. Prepare your playlist with Qobuz App on your smartphone, and find it inside DJUCED browser. Just magic. (Qobuz service subscription required) POST-FADER FX Reverb and Delay effects are no longer cut off when using the volume fader. Instead, effects are applied after the volume fader: in this way, you can still hear the end of effects when a deck’s volume fader is brought down. Perfect for improving quick transitions. SCRATCH ENGINE REWORKED We know that feeling is important. This is why we have remade our scratch engine, modelled from famous turntables and controllers, and tested by scratch DJs. All supported controllers have been re-calibrated. It changes everything. MIDI CONTROL FASTER THAN EVER MIDI communications between DJUCED and the supported controllers is now really fast. (less than 2ms) Enjoy instant reaction when pushing a button, or instant LED return.  DJUCED 40 3.6 is available on DJUCED website http://www.djuced.com/ More on Qobuz online audio streaming on http://www.qobuz.com |
