Hi mate. Its the latest version on serato. Ive gone through all the settings inside serato and everything seems as it should be. I must say that in the prime 4 screen the player does run if I play a song in serato, so somethings just not right. I know its probably something really simple but what? as I say ive done (i think) everything.
Unlike Scratch Live, Serato DJ asks DJs to install audio drivers when they plug in their computer instead of installing the drivers as part of the installation process. This can be problematic for DJs that show up to a gig and plug in a minute or two before the are supposed to get on, only to find out that they have to install something and restart their computer. By just taking a few minutes before a DJ leaves for a gig, DJs can have the plug and play experience that Scratch Live users loved.
Installing the audio drivers on PC is more straightforward in some ways, but is also more of a chore. To download the PC drivers visit the following link and download the drivers from each manufacturer:
If you use Serato DJ, I recommend taking the short amount of time before you head out for a gig to make sure that all the necessary drivers are installed. This reduces the chances of a huge hardware headache when you get to a venue. One last thing to worry about so you can focus more on the important part, DJing.
hi just bought a hercules impulse 500 but when i plug into pc windows 10 it say download drivers which i have done many times now. the install tab is still there and controller is not working.tried on 2.6 and 2.2.2 serato and also tried on another laptop.driving me crazy and thinking of returning it,never had problems like this please help.
1) Did you test in Djuced and Serato DJ Lite?
Then what is the result in Djuced and in Serato DJ Lite?
In Djuced, test with Settings > Audio > Audio device = "DJControl Inpulse 500 ASIO (ASIO)", as Serato DJ Lite & Pro use this ASIO device (not the WASAPI audio device).
DJControl Inpulse 500 comes with Serato DJ Lite, it does not unlock Serato DJ Pro unless you have a Serato DJ Pro upgrade license (if your Serato DJ Pro licence comes from another hardware unlocking Serato DJ Pro, this Serato DJ Pro licence is not activated when the Serato DJ Pro hardware is not connected). If you have a serato DJ Pro upgrade licence, make sure you activated this licence on this computer (in your Serato user profile, on Serato website).
2) Did you try the basic 2-reboot process?- Uninstall the drivers of the hardware, the DJ controller- Uninstall the Serato app which does not detection the hardware drivers - Reboot the computer (full reboot, not restart a session)- Install the hardware and its drivers (the DJ controller)- Test in another app if the harware device is well detected and its drivers work = play music on the ASIO device- Reboot the computer(full reboot, not restart a session)- Install the application, here Serato DJ Pro, and check if it can connect to the audio/MIDI hardware and its driver.
3) Which version of Hercules DJ driver did you install?
You should see the Hercules control panel (black round icon with an open white cercle) in Windows notification area?
Can you click on it, and then does it call DJControl Inpulse 500 panel?
If yes, when you click on the About tab, please precise
- DJ controller pdriver package (here 1-HDJS-2022)
- the firmware (here 1.66, top 1.39)
- the driver (here 5.8.7.0) ?
If you click on the speaker icon on bottom left of the About tab, do you hear sound in speakers and headphones while the icon becomes green?
4) Have you an uncommon ASIO driver or a virtual ASIO device on your computer?
I do not mean ASIO4All, which is a full ASIO layer, or the Asio drivers a music oriented device, but for example
- Realtek ASIO (it is recommended to uninstall Realtek ASIO driver to use a real ASIO device on a computer)
- ASIO4Vestax (this layer, while it looks like ASIO4All, is not good as it block other ASIO devices).
PS: Please read the Software forum posting rules, following them helps a lot to solve a technical issue.
It tells you which tech information needed to address any technical issue:
The RANE ONE is designed as a Serato controller and requires a laptop running Serato to get the full use of the ONE features. The ONE, however, does have line/phono inputs and can be used as a standalone mixer with functional EQ and filters.
The RANE ONE is Serato DJ Enabled, meaning it will unlock Serato DJ automatically while connected to the computer.*
*Driver installation will be required for operation on Windows computers before connecting with Serato.
Yes, the ONE is compatible with and can host turntables for DVS control using the CD/Phono RCA deck inputs. Serato DVS control will require ownership of the DVS expansion pack from Serato DJ (sold separately at serato.com).
Yes, the tension can be adjusted manually by using the adjustment screw on the fader itself. The top-plate of the fader section on the RANE ONE can be removed in order to access this adjustment or to replace the fader.
The RANE ONE is a 2-channel controller that already has two motorized platters. There is no way to assign additional decks and no practical benefit to doing this.
You could, however, connect the RANE TWELVE MKII using the RCA deck inputs for use as a DVS controller. See the DVS Control question above for more details about using DVS with the RANE ONE.
