There is a nice thread going on in our forum right now about fixing the “waaaah” sound that some users have experienced when trying to scratch with a VCI-100. This was not the hardware problem that originally reared its head when the VCI first came out but a user having the same issue with a brand new vci-100. The always helpful forum members on djTT found a solution to the problem that I also came across several months back. I only now noticed that the actual public TKS files were never addressed. In order to fully grasp the problem, and the solution- let me explain how the jog wheel works so you will walk away with a better understanding of hardware in general.

I get a lot of mail from people every week asking different questions about digital djing. Even though its impossible to answer each and every question fully, dont stop sending them in. The kind letters you send are what keeps me going and helps put a personal feel on this sometimes distant internet thing.
When we recieve an email with a complicated question, I usually respond that its best to post those types of questions in the forum where everyone can benefit from the answer and a discussion will get started. Most of the questions are great but sometimes they take a little bit longer than an email to properly answer. So to answer some of teh common questions in a public forum, we want to try a something new. Every Friday, until you get sick of it, I will answer one letter in detail. So without further ado here is the letter of the week!

We are proud to announce the anticipated mini.Translator program and its first patch which allows the VCI-300 to work with programs other than Serato Itch. Even after converting to midi we were able to keep the jog wheels and pitch faders high resolution so they will still be very precise. The best part though is that its free for you to try.
Enter your email bellow and you will receive links to mac and windows versions as well as updates on when the newest patches are available. This is the first beta release and there may be minor bugs, so please report them or post questions here. We are working on a full preset for the VCI-300 and Traktor that includes effects mapping and a matching TKS file.

I think it was assumed by Vestax and a lot of other people that the VCI-300 was going to be a more popular controller than the VCI-100. That didn’t turn out to be exactly the case, and now many people are justifiably confused as to which controller they should buy. Here at Dj TechTools we get at least one email with this question every day so to help you make up your own mind, here is the list of pro’s and cons:

For those that are feeling the economic crunch, we have 2 free passes to give away. Email us from the feedback page with an answer to the following question:
Who first coined the word “controllerism” and in what magazine article?

What will the future of djing look like? Instead of coming up with my own questions I want to turn that topic over to you, the smartest group of djs on the net.
