Topic: DJM 450
So I’m using my Pioneer DJM 450 with control vinyl.

When I hit the thru button in VDJ and put on a real record the volume is absolutely too low for me to use. I have to crank the gain up to the MAX and even then the volume doesn’t match VDJs output.

Is there anyway to increase the “line in” volume with VDJ??

And YES, I know I can just move the switch over to the line level from USB and just not run the sound through VDJ at all but if I wanna record it won’t work at all.

The closet way I’ve found to get the volumes to almost match is to use LOUDMAX on the Line in but again this doesn’t seem ideal.

Any suggestions??

So I guess the solution is to NOT use VDJ to record since the line in is not at a useable level 👍🏾
 

So

  1. I'm pretty sure the DJM-450 has a dedicated Record Input/Output channel that records everything (including the analog inputs coming into each channel (not sure why a dedicated line-in is needed)
  2. the headroom level of the audio output by the mixer (in the Settings Utility application) has a default that's pretty low (I think it's -19dB on my DJM-S11). Setting it higher (like -5 dB) would make it louder.


Am I missing why the Line-Input is required?
 

Yes I know about the record input, and yes my level is set to -5 also.

My issue is the level being so low when using the Line in. I have a button mapped on my XP that just switches to line in. I guess i can just use the toogle on the mixer except that neither my RANE 70 or X1800 have this issue with such a low volume.
