Topic: Help! Lowering music to speak on radio broadcast
I use VDJ Essentials for radio broadcast. When I first started, I could take a fader down on each platter/ deck and talk over with the music volume lowering in my headphones and broadcast.
I fiddled with settings when laptop had a hissy fit and now can't do that anymore.
It's really annoying now and affects the flow of the show ending up having to pull a fader on the actual yamaha desk which then messes with the level again and again.

Please help!

I create a custom botton using these settings:

Would this only work if I hold the button down?
I need to take the music up and down though

Can anyone help further with this?

What happens now when you move the volume faders? Should still be same.
Unless you changed the audio setup, for example what you are playing out to speakers could be the headphone output instead of master.

Check your audio setup to verify its correct

Thanks for getting back to me on this - it's really frustrating!
When I lower either fader on VDJ the sound goes to right side of headphones.
Sound broadcast is still the same level.

I've found the only way of talking over a bed or music is lowering the fader on the actual Yamaha mixer but I have little idea on how low or high it is with that particular piece of music until listening to the recorded broadcast later - it's still guess work.

Did you check your audio config as was suggested?

Also take a look at the "splitHeadphones" setting and play around with that.

For talkover I use a custom button with "mic_talkover 20%" for switch on and off. For a short upfade during my speech I abused my keyboard num.enter key with the config "mic_talkover 20% while_pressed", this key is nice and large and easily accessible.

Maybe this can help you a little.
