CROSS DJ/CROSS DJ LE is a great, compact, plug and play, digital DJ solution that is available in different packages: • CROSS DJ CROSS DJ is the software only package. CROSS DJ is compatible with every DJ MIDI controller and it includes many built-in MIDI presets for a broad range of DJ controllers. • U-MIX CONTROL PRO DJ Package This package consists of the DJ con- troller U-MIX CONTROL PRO with integrated soundcard and the CROSS DJ software. • U-MIX CONTROL 2 DJ Package This package consists of the DJ controller U-MIX CONTROL 2 and the CROSS DJ LE software. • CROSS DJ LE CROSS DJ LE is only available bundled with various controllers or other products from different manufacturers The feature sets of CROSS DJ and CROSS DJ LE are almost identical. The main dif- ference between CROSS DJ and CROSS DJ LE is that you can use CROSS DJ with all DJ controllers and DJ soundcards available; CROSS DJ LE (Limited Edition) can however, only be used in conjunction with the DJ controller that the software was bundled with. The bundled controller needs to be connected before you launch CROSS DJ LE. Furthermore you cannot customize the MIDI mapping for the bun- dled controller. CROSS DJ/CROSS DJ LE was designed to provide a simple and user-friendly envi- ronment, so you can focus on mixing tracks and having fun. Take a few minutes to run through this manual and you’ll be on your way to making great mixes on CROSS in no time at all! Be part of the MixVibes online community and share your experiences with other DJs, find help and advice, and also check for available updates. See you online on the forum (http://forum.mixvibes.com) or on the website (http://www.mixvibes.com). 5 Welcome Minimum System Requirements • Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7. We recommend using Windows 7 or XP instead of Windows Vista. OR Mac OS X 10.4 or higher • Intel Core 2 Duo/1.8GHz or equivalent CPU • 1 GB RAM • One available USB port • Hard drive space for music U-MIX CONTROL PRO Box Contents • CROSS DJ installation disc • U-MIX CONTROL PRO - USB DJ MIDI controller with an internal audio interface • 1 USB cable; 1 RCA cable; 1 male RCA to male mini jack (3.5mm) U-MIX CONTROL 2 Box Contents • CROSS DJ LE installation disc • U-MIX CONTROL 2 - USB DJ MIDI controller • 1 USB cable CROSS DJ LE Box Contents • CROSS DJ LE installation disc • Controller of your manufacturer • Further content may vary depending on the package you own Please have look at the safety notes for U-MIX CONTROL PRO and U-MIX CON- TROL 2 before using these controllers. The safety notes can be found at the end of this manual. 6 2/ Software Installation Please login to our forum (http://forum.mixvibes.com) in order to register your product and to check for the latest download version of CROSS DJ software. Insert the installation disc into the CD-ROM drive of your computer and open the drive in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. Check the filename of the installer applica- tion as it contains the version number of the software that will be installed. If the version available on the MixVibes website is newer than the version on your CD-ROM, we recommend installing the newer version instead of the one on the CD-ROM. 2.1 Installation on Windows 1 Insert the installation disc into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. The installation program will launch automatically. Or launch the installer that you have downloaded from the MixVibes website. ATTENTION Make sure that the hardware that was bundled with CROSS DJ/CROSS DJ LE (for example U-MIX CONTROL PRO, U-MIX CONTROL 2, or any other bundled controller or audio interface), is not connected during the installation. This ensures that the drivers are installed first, before Windows detects the device and performs the Plug&Play device installation. Without the drivers being installed first, Windows tries to search for drivers, which should be avoided as they are not installed yet. If the installer does not start, open Windows Explorer, navigate to the CROSS DJ installation disc and open it. Double-click on InstallCross DJ.exe to launch the installer manually. 2 Select your language and click OK. 7 Software Installation 3 Read the License Agreement and accept it by clicking I Agree. 4 Select the Components you wish to install and click Next. Depending on the controller/software package that you use this setup screen may show different components. Make sure that the driver components for your con- troller stay selected. 8 Software Installation 5 Select the folder where CROSS DJ shall be installed. Click Next. 6 Select the folder in your Start menu where the CROSS DJ shortcut shall be created. Click Install to start the installation. 9 Software Installation 7 Once the installation is complete click Finish. If the checkbox Run CROSS DJ is activated, CROSS DJ will launch automatically. 2.2 Installation on Mac OS X 1 Insert the CROSS DJ installation disc into the CD-ROM drive of your Mac. 2 Double-click the CROSS icon on your desktop. 3 Drag and drop CROSS DJ onto your “Applications” folder. 10 Software Installation 2.3 Launching CROSS DJ If you use CROSS DJ LE that was bundled with a controller then connect the con- troller to your computer before you launch CROSS DJ LE. If the controller is not connected CROSS DJ LE will not start. If you use CROSS DJ it is not necessary to connect your controller before launching CROSS DJ. TIP If you use the U-MIX CONTROL PRO controller/audio interface with CROSS DJ, then connect the controller before you launch the software. CROSS DJ supports the automatic audio configuration of U-MIX CONTROL PRO which means that you do not need to setup your audio routing manually. Windows Go to Start > All Programs > MixVibes > CROSS DJ and click the CROSS DJ icon. Mac OS X Go to Applications > CROSS DJ and double-click on CROSS DJ. 2.4 License Key During the first launch of CROSS DJ you need to enter your license key in the fol- lowing dialog box: The license key can be found on the sleeve of your installation disc. Enter it and click Submit. 11 3/ Basic Concepts of Digital DJing CROSS DJ is a extremely flexible DJ software that can be used in various setup scenarios.

    TIGER M Follow Me Hyperlink Journals | TIGER M December 2013 Page 2 TIGER M Follow Me Hyperlink Journals | TIGER M December 2013 Brought To You By: A Warm & Humble Welcome: Update From The Physical To The Digital! Final Month of The Year! =) THIRD Hyperlink Journals Series ^_^ Hey everybody! =D And an early “Happy New Year’s Day” 2014! ^_^ Merry Holiday Season! =) Simply to keep You in tune with how the “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journals” are going to continue to be done simply a reminder that the original “Official Release” of this series was completed in October. So, the addresses Journalized for “October 2013” (First Journal) actually list “September 2013” hyperlinks. The month each Journal is released, it covers the month before it. Certainly hope that makes sense! ^_^ The links this “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journals” series covers are links I visited “November 2013.” However, the month this Hyperlink Journal was printed to be published is this month: “December 2013.” As awesome as it would be if it could be done in this day and age… it is not possible just yet for me or anyone who I know—to “travel into the future” (at this time ^_^) and collect hyperlinks for the month “December 2013” prior to me “Surfing the pixels of cyberspace” in well… “December 2013…” ^^; So long tale told – long description short— Every “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journal” covers all links visited the month prior to it. Simply restating what was just stated so hopefully clarity is true and sense is keen. There is actually a “Journal Series” that I am printing but is not yet ready for public release—an extension of the “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journals” that I’ll talk about later on in the future World Willing.
