Chapter 1
Getting the Most out of
DJS
Explains the system structure that needs to be in place to DJ
with DJS.
1-1 When Using the DJS Mixer
Functions
The DJS mixer outputs audio separately for the master (amp/
speakers) and the monitor (headphones).
Consequently, your computer needs to have 2 audio output systems,
whether internal or external. If your computer only has one audio
output system, please add another audio device, such as a sound card
or an audio unit.
Connect your equipment, amp/speaker or headphones to each audio
output (for the master or the monitor).
Configuration when using the DJS Mixer Functions (Example
of Connections)
Warning!
Sound Card
If you increase the number of
sound cards or audio units
Make the setting on the [Preferences]
Screen for the device, whether a sound
card or an audio unit, for the type of
sound it will output.

When Using a Different DJ Mixer

1-2 When Using a Different DJ Mixer
You may use just the DJS player functions (player A and player B)
without using the DJS mixer functions. If you do so, you can output
the audio of each player to the external DJ mixer.
Consequently, your computer needs to have 2 audio output systems,
whether internal or external. If your computer only has one audio
output system, please add another audio device, such as a sound card
or an audio unit.
Connect each of your computer’s audio outputs (for player A and for
player B) to the external DJ mixer and connect your equipment, amp/
speaker and headphones, to the external DJ mixer.

Connections)
Switching to an External

External Mixer
When DJS is initially installed, it is set
up for using the DJS mixer functions.
Consequently, if you do not wish to use
DJS’s mixer functions, use the
[Preference] screen to switch the
settings to using an external DJS mixer.
List Player
If you have three or more audio output
systems, it is possible to output audio
not only for players A and B, but also
for a list player.

Playing Sound
DJS enables you to change the way your music sounds, add
audio effects and create a new and different atmosphere. If you
perform effectively, you’ll match the mood in the room and
create an excitement and feeling the original song couldn’t get.
3-1 Adjusting the Sound Quality
With DJS you can adjust the quality of the sound by utilizing the
equalizer function to extract any range of music (i.e. low, medium
and high ranges) and making the sound of that frequency band louder
or quieter.
Furthermore, by using the Kill Function, you can change sound quality
by cutting out any frequency band (i.e. low, medium and high ranges).

it sound discordant, cutting the
range of sound from 1 allows the
songs to mix smoothly.

song on top.
With the sound of how pro DJs perform in mind, try out all kinds of
different things.

the list. Using a play list is convenient when you have already
decided the order you want to play songs in.

9-4-3 Adjusting Delay Time
If you are using DJS with a variety of different sound cards, it is
necessary to adjust their delay time to align the timing of their audio
output with each other.
Delay Time (Latency)
The length of time it takes for processing, from the time audio
data is transferred to when the audio is actually output differs,
depending on the sound card.
When using various sound cards with DJS, the timing of the
sound cards can be aligned to the audio output of the sound card
with the slowest processing time by slowing the audio output of
the faster sound card(s).

sound card.
Delay time is set to 0 msec.
● Changing the settings of the sound card(s) themselves
Depending on the kind of sound card(s) you are using, there may
be an adjustment function for the delay time (latency/buffer size).
If you adjust the delay time (latency and/or buffer size) using the
driver settings function included with your sound card, you will
need to close DJS and restart the computer or the driver settings
may not take effect.
For further information, refer to the user’s manual for your sound
card(s).

9-4-4 Adjusting the Size of Buffers
Buffer size is a setting that is made to prevent any interruption to the
audio stream.
If you experience an interruption to the audio, follow the steps below
to increase the size of the buffer.
If the audio is interrupted
You can eliminate interruptions to the
audio by reducing the load on your
computer. You can reduce the load on
your computer in the following ways.
(a) Turn OFF the waveform display.
Buffer Size
In the interest of preventing the audio from being interrupted,
especially when your computer is doing a lot of processing, DJS
gathers together the audio data and sends it to a place called a
buffer, where it is saved. While this audio data is being saved to
the buffer, there will be a lag in the audio.
(b) Bypass the equalizer & effector.
If you are not experiencing any interruptions to the audio stream,
can you can reduce the size of the buffer, which will reduce the
lag in the audio.
1 Click either [C] or [D] for the [Buffer Size].
Default Settings when
Installed
At installation it is set to 4 frames.
(1 frame = 512 samples)
Adjustable Range
Can be adjusted from between 2 to 18
frames.
If output is to a Direct X compatible
sound card, adjust the buffer size so it is
slightly larger than when outputting to
an ASIO compatible sound card.
