"Audio Stream Input/Output" is a cross-platform, multi-channel protocol for audio transfer developed by the Steinberg company. It allows a variety of programs to communicate with different sound cards and recognize all of the inputs and outputs available on the sound card. The user can then assign these I/O ports for recording or playback when using an ASIOcompatible software program. - Your DJ Console Rmx is ASIO 2. 0 compliant, allowing you to use ASIO 2. 0 VST plug-ins and thereby add many exciting effects to your music. 16/32 ­ User Manual - The configuration is set to 44100Hz (44. 1kHz)/16-bit mode by default. - Switching to 24-bit mode only lets you use inputs 1-2 (inputs 3-4 are not available). Advanced tab: - This tab allows you to set the hardware mix options for output 1-2: USB streaming 1-2 (default), USB streaming 1-2 plus your microphone, or USB streaming 1-2 plus line in 1-2. - You can also set the MIDI channel (2 by default), in the event that there is some conflict between your DJ Console Rmx and another MIDI device. If you have more than one Hercules device installed on your system, the MIDI channel numbers are assigned by order of connection, i. e. incrementally.

Overview You are now about to learn everything a DJ needs to know to host his or her first parties. Let's start at the beginning, namely setting up the party: no DJ would allow him/herself to arrive unprepared, which is why he/she would have organized his/her material and selected his/her records beforehand. You should do the same by sorting through your music. Have a good look through your music collection and select the songs you are going to use. In order to be able to mix tracks effectively, you must know the pieces perfectly. Once this is done, make sure that you have all the hardware you will need.
