My name is Jay and I am a DJ that gets jobs and working to get bigger and bigger every year. And with you and other You-tubers I am getting better at my craft. I know lights are a big part of what sells to clients. I have some lights but i usually have them as a solid color or in sound active mode. I was seeing if you have any ways to run dmx if I am a one man opp.

There's another way to code the shift so it acts a bit different ** toggle "$shift" while_pressed & holding ? nothing : select ** this will toggle the shift whenever you press the button but only do select if you don't hold the button down.

Hi! I wonder if you can help me. I'm trying to modify a Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 mapping. What i want to do is set the "BEATS TAP" button to turn on/off the mic, and the "BEATS" slider to control the mic volume... And cant find the button/slider in the functions...

Hi Echo Papa. I'm keen on using the "shift" button that you created together with the jogwheel to activate the shift knob under the loop section, on a Numark DJ2GO. What is the script language for the loop shift?

great video!!

Hey Echo Papa, How can I lock my songs in Virtual DJ 8? When I use Traktor Pro 2 it would have an icon of a "lock" to be able to lock that song as I customize it to my needs, but I can't find that here?

[@mariorodriguezvalencia9940]

To review, I already fix the equation, I use cycle to my shift button so: Cycle 'my var' moves 0 to 4 0 vinyl mode on 1 vinyl mode off 2 shift

I have radius 3000 cd's and I would like to convert my "filter" effects button on my cd controllers to "EchoDopper" but the way it's set up,I have to press it on my computer for it to work,I prefer if I could press a button instead on my cd controllers,if can you help me with that,I would greatly appreciate it,I hope I explained it right,thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi Echopapa....can i use the shift + another button to change the filter knob into a key knob so I can select between the two effects?? Thanks

[@EchoPapa]

So you want to use shift 2 buttons together to change the filter knob?

[@djleo2247]

Echo Papa...yes, shift plus another button (for example Cue Master) to switch the filter knob to use it for key. Sorry for my English =)

[@EchoPapa]

Yes, the instructions would be the same as in the video. You just need to setup as many variables as you have shift buttons you want to use. Here is a link to some good info. Good luck. www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript.html

[@djleo2247]

Echo Papa Thank you. I'll see if I can do it...looks complicated but not impossible.
