Virtual DJ DJC Edition - Record the microphone input in the mix

Before attempting to record the microphone, it is important to understand the

various modes available in regards to the DJ Console Mk4.

Talk Over: This mode is enabled when pressing button Mic On/Off. The signal of

the microphone is automatically sent to Output 1-2 of the Mk4, along with the main

mix. This is useful when you want to talk to the audience to over the music, which

level will be reduced according to amount selected in the control panel.

However, in this mode, the microphone input cannot be recorded as the software

doesn't get the microphone signal.

Hardware Mix mode: This function in the control panel Advanced tab does

essentially the thing as the Talk Over function, but without the level attenuation. It

can also be applied to the Line In 1-2 input.

Again, this mode is not to be used as the software doesn't get the microphone

signal.

In order to be recorded, in Virtual DJ (or other applications), your

microphone has to be configured as an External Source, in the

same way you would use a CD player or a turntable.

1- Connect your microphone to DJ Console Mk4 microphone input.

2- Launch Virtual DJ

Page 1 Talk Over: This mode is enabled when pressing button Mic On/Off. The signal of the microphone is automatically sent to Output 1-2 of the Mk4, along with the main mix. This is useful when you want to talk to the audience to over the music, which level will be reduced according to amount selected in the control panel.
Page 2 Remark for a standard use: if your microphone output volume is too low when used on DJ Console Mk4 in Talk-Over mode, you can also use the same process (steps 3 to 6) to get a louder output volume. In this way, you lose the talk-over mode, but you get an additional software gain.
