I'm asking the question about VDJ during recording. Is there a limit to the volume on VDJ or can you increase the volume if it's low?
 
Did you turn up the volume on your computer???

Quite likely the problem....Mix check the EV bible I posted for you last week look under Gain structure
 
I checked things out and saw that the volume on the laptop is full. I didn't see anything on the VDJ program that will increase the volume on recording from VDJ. So I don't know if there's another way to increase the volume while recording from VDJ.

Adjust the USB card levels used by VDJ:

You could also try inserting an effect on the recorder and leaving all the parameters null while increasing only the output gain of the effect.

The way to adjust the volume level while recording in Virtual DJ primarily depends on what volume you are referring to: the overall mix volume, or a separate microphone volume.

1. Adjusting the Overall Mix Volume (Music)​


The recording volume of your mix is generally controlled by the Master Volume (or Master Output) in the Virtual DJ software interface.
  • During your mix: Adjust the Master Volume dial/fader in the Master Panel of the Virtual DJ skin. This directly controls the output level that is being recorded (as the recording is usually of the master output).
  • For optimal recording level: Many users recommend setting the Master Volume so that the VU meter (volume indicator) is close to but does not hit the red (0 dB) during the loudest parts of your mix. Keeping it slightly below zero (e.g., aiming for a peak around −6 dB to −12 dB or adjusting the master volume to ∼60%) provides "headroom" to prevent distortion (clipping) in the final recording.
  • Advanced Setting (Master Volume Output): You can also check or change the default Master Volume output level in Settings > Options by searching for the option like zerodb (or similar options related to master output volume). Setting this to a negative dB value (e.g., −1 dB, −3 dB, or −6 dB) can give you more headroom for recording.
