Okay found out it was a Vista/7 issue. Got it to work with the one professional DJ software I own - must remember to only use XP lol!
UPDATE: Well after playing around with all different softwares I choose Traktor Pro it was the one that worked best for me. I also bought a Denon HC-4500. The new Lappy, Software, and Controller all should be here next week . I really liked the features and layout of Traktor and am very excited! Softjock was my #2 choice as Rick is great and his customer service top shelf there were just a few items Rockit could not do that I wanted. Rick thank you for your assistance.

It's okay, yer gonna get Rockit eventually -- I intend on assimilating everyone...
Well, there were a few reasons I named it Rockit, but I don't recall that being one of them (I had a good buzz at the time I came up with the name
). Video seems to fit well though... It had more to do with software I used to write -- at one point I was writing guidance software for various projectiles, and I was also one of the early writers of the Email Shuttle, which is a mainframe to PC network migration utility (who's logo was a pic of the space shuttle). Somehow, that all got mixed up in my buzzed little brain that night, and Rockit was born...
"My RCF's will eat your EV's Alive "
I gotta check these RCFs out. Have you had any issues with them at all?
thanks
Never an issue with any of my RCF speakers I ahve ART's and the 4-Pro series they are the best.
Club VJ Pro
I have been using ClubVJPro and it's predecessor for about 3 years, and was disappointed with the earlier versions, but their last version which came out a year ago, is relatively stable. I have been able to narrow down scenarios that cause it to crash and sent it to their support. They admitted they took time off developing any new release of this software, but have started back up again, with new members of their development team.
When the software crashes:
Just my opinion. YMMV

I have been able to narrow down scenarios that cause it to crash and sent it to their support. They admitted they took time off developing any new release of this software, but have started back up again, with new members of their development team.
When the software crashes:
- When I use the equalizer knobs on the decks to boost the bass or treble sometimes Club VJPro will crash.
- If I do a lot of loading and unloading of the decks in a relatively short period of time. For example: if I have several versions of a song or karaoke (mp3+g), and while one song is playing and I want to listen to snippets of the different versions of the next song using headphones to determine which one I want to to play and load the first version, listen to about 20 sec, then load the next listen, then load the next listen, etc... It has not crashed while doing this, but usually shortly after (ie: within 10 minutes or so).
- Love being able to drag & drop a song from any directory to the playlist, requestlist, or a deck! Very useful when I download on the fly a song requested that was not already in my library!
- And the ABSOLUTE BEST FEATURE when the software does crash it has ALWAYS finished the track it is playing including the output to the external screen. Do not know how you accomplished this but MAJOR KUDOS!! Nothing is worse than having a song or karaoke selection just stop dead in it's tracks. This feature at least allows me time to play another selection via other software (Windows Media Player in a pinch), while I restart ClubVJPro, or switch to a different device altogether while I reboot the computer. Most other DJ/Karaoke programs I tested just stopped dead in it's tracks (ie: no music, no video output...) just complete stop no time to get something else going to prevent the "dead air". Hate to see ti crash, but at least it does so gracefully.
- Faster Library Load
A full load of the library takes about 1 hr 20 mins. I find it necessary to to a full load before a gig because if I have removed or renamed some tracks, it causes issues with songs stored in a playlist. I also do a Clear Library and add directory to get a good clean library load; but before doing this I have to make sure my Request List and PlayList are cleared on the screen. - When I put a song in the request list or playlist, be a able to put a temporary note (ie: like the name of the karaoke singer, requester, "dedicated to", etc... Have the note display by the title in different color or as a "tooltip" when the mouse is placed over it.
Just my opinion. YMMV

I am going to download the Rockit trail this weekend and play around with it some. The only drawback is that I was unable to see in the features list whether it would handle mp3+g for when I have Karaoke gigs. I would like to try and stick with a single piece of software for DJ or Karaoke events.
Dead on correct.
It serves no purpose to buy into a machine that can do only one thing.
Also, working DJs are always mobile - even if they are club DJs. If the software can not run on laptops and most off-the shelf machines then it is too risky since alternate custom configured hardware is too hard to come by in a pinch or on a tour.
Call me demanding, but I want my DJ/VJ software to be able to run while I'm simultaneously responding to emails and drafting a document in MS Word. I also don't want to have to get my computer from MI-5 British Intelligence. I should be able to find an off-the shelf replacement in any city I travel to.
Can't argue with you there. Users rave about it, and it's a good design. Only thing that kept me away was a need for video.
Been there, done that, would not do it again. The stability is an outdated claim. Todays machines are powerful enough that few if any DJ progams present any real resource issues. t is designed for unattended automation not interaction with a live DJ and as a result the features fall short of most other DJ programs.
It is solid. I've used it and I have an associate who swears by it. CDJP has proven itself more reliable and versatile with video than either Ots and VDJ. Not my favorite, but a good choice and surprisingly inexpensive.
VDJ is by far the most commonly used and pouplar tool I come across. It is one of the best in terms of interaction with an actual live DJ and outboard controllers. PCDJ has been a staple of mobile DJs for years. The DEX version rests on the heals of a long history.
Ultramixer I haven't used, but it seems overpriced since most of it's features are already available for free in many open source DJ softwares. I would put RPM in that same class but, with a better eye toward outboard controllers and live DJs.
I use SAM party. SAM broadcaster is what many internet radio stations use. In a nutshell it's very reliable and extremely user friendly. Probably not the best choice if you do a lot of beatmatching but for weddings I can't think of a program that is a "one stop shop" program (i.e. does everything. My two cents
