Image-Line wants the war!! Deckadance it's coming ...


Image-Line, famous software house for FL Studio, one of the best software to the production music based on loops and virtual instruments, is coming with a dj software that is placed between Virtual Dj and Traktor, and that it seems to be a powerful and mature product being still in not definitive version. The support to BCD 2000 is native and working very well.All the main controls are perfectly commanded by the buttons, knobs and sliders of the BCD, and there is a particular configurations for the effects that working very good and that it's very funny. The buttons A, B, C, and D are to the relooper of the deck A and B (2 for each player) and the configuration panel of relooper, like to VDJ, is wonderful.The Analog A and B works to choice the main effects/filters and the knobs up are used to change the 2 main parameters (x and y) of the effects. If you want more there are two extra panels to control the live sampler and the VST effects.I'm sure all workings perfect!A little bug is the use of the jog in order to make scratch, that at the moment it works only holding pressed the button scratch in the BCD, and that at the moment dont't do the backspin(?).The jog works perfectly with the player stopped and it is very similar to vinyl style, with a powerful latency.Moreover the Keylock/Master Tempo function generates an annoying echo effect to the start of the track (using the jog) and that shows all its limits of quality when you use it strong. We have not tried the sync function.Our final judgment is much positive one.
You can download demo version from here.

@dj kropp

Yes , pfl assignment is a bit strange.

You need to activate by mouse the 2 pfl button on the software interface (button with headphones pitcure).
After this you can change assignement on BCD by PFL MIX knob.

In order to use headphones, you need to activate Cue button on deckadance (buttons with headphone pitcure), after you can to use pflmix knob on bcd to select decka or deckb.

@Greece friend

Please check if you have done this from installation manual:

In the device manager (right click on My computer > Manage > Device Manager) , click option "Batteries" > disable Microsoft ACPI -Compliant Control Method Battery.

In the USB Controller , do the following for each single USB root hub: Right click > properties > power management > disable the option " allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Otherwise check if you have installed , firewall, antivirus, screen saver, energy power settings, or other background software that need too resources.

You need to change the shortcuts.xml file directly.
(by hand)

@ cengo91,
just buy a set of time code control vinyl, like torq or miss pinky or whatever is supported by deckadance, connect the turntables to
your bcd, plug the bcd via usb into your computer and play with the settings in 'vinyl/ext settings' in deckadance.After you set the vynil to miss pinky or Torq you might still need to hit the 'learn timecode' button.
I had very little trouble doing this with my bcd and now i just have the turntables going in directly via a multi IN/OUT soundcard.

@Milan

Noise is generated by a low latency value.
Please increase latency and disabling key lock.

@costin
Are you sure to have last version?
It's a strange thing.
Please check in deckadance forum if you have last version.
Only one note:
If you like deckadance could be a good idea change your BCD with BCD3000, that it's perfect with deckadance

Hey everyone...

I just recently got me the bcd2000 from behringer, and it's pretty sweet and all, works like a dream with virtual dj 5.2. But I've got a few problems.

Firstly, I cannot install the v1.1.1 driver update. Whenever I run the exe it says I should connect bcd2000 and then click continue. After I connect it nothing happens. There's no continue button.

Also, with virtual dj 5.2 I get sound artifacts (like time stretching) when I change the tempo in increments higher than, let's say 20%.

Thing is I want to use Deckadance, but I've had no luck so far. The jog wheels don't work like they should, PFL assingment is way strange, and IT CRASHES every 5 minutes or so.

Any help on these matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
