When running on Vista use it on Windows XP (service pack 2) compatibility mode (Traktor Properties Folder). Booth Traktor 3.3 and BCD 3000 (driver properties folder).

I’ve been using the BCD3000 for the last 6 Months in club sets and on the radio with a 3 year old Macbook and I’ve had absolutely no problems with this device. It is a hell of a lot better with the full version of Traktor 3 as opposed to the LE version though. I did initially have latency problems but after a while discoveresd that it was my fault and that I hadn’t actually set the CPU speed properly. Ever since then it has given me no probs. The longest club set I’ve done with this was five hours and not once did it give me any hassle. Best 145 Quid I ever spent.

Thanks Ayoub. I downloaded the DPC Latency Checker and I found a hardware which was giving high latency peaks. I disabled it and the VDJ is running ok (without affecting the headphones signal). I´ll follow this to check if this was the real problem.

With the Tractor now I found a problem with the headphones. If there is a song on deck A and I want to pre-listen song on deck B , the deck B channel must be up. I mean both channels must be up in order to hear them on headphones. I cant find a way to pre-listen the track if the corresponding channel is not up.Also the mix voulme in BCD doesnt work but it moves in the screen.

About the configuration in Traktor I use DSBCD3000 as sound card and ch 1 and 2 for master and 3 and 4 for monitor. If I put ASIO the programs freezes automatically so with this I dont know if I need to change the soundcard or it is the same proplem of NON-Compatibility with XP.

OAC

you have to select BCD3000 ASIO driver for propper 2ch. output configuration.

DS BCD3000 will act as a normal 1ch. USB device (good for winamp and other media players.

I asked you do disable hardware from the Device Manager and not background programs

You can do that by going to the Start Menu / Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager

Then disable the following:
Disable batteries ACPI
Disable DVD drive
Disable Wireless Network device
Disable Ethernet device device
Try this and I’m sure thing will dramatically improve.

I have and Acer Core2Duo machine and things are working fine,

Yes BCD3000 works out of the box on an old Centrino Toshiba Tecra but with added memory.

Thanks Ayoub. I tried to disable all background programs as you mentioned but the same happens. By the way do I have to choose in sound card the line where says DS BCD 3000 or ASIO BCD3000?.

I want to tell all users I received a mail from Behringer recommending to switch of computer!!. In fact other user confirmed me also what I think Behringer wants to keep in a secret: BEHRINGER BCD 3000 DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH DUAL CORE OR CORE2 DUO PROCESSORS, ONLY WITH OLD PENTIUM III/IV . Now I have to get and old laptop with single core or wait until Behringer releases an update for Dual core processors. This is unbelievable since they confirmed the minimum requeriments are a PIII with 512 Ram.

I wanted to buy a Total Control but I didnt like I had to buy a DJIo interface to connect the headphones ($100). Thats why I chose BCD3000 ( A REALLY BAD DECISION).

Hope all users read this before get this model.

What is the make and model No. of your laptop

From the control panel \ System \ Hardware:

Disable batteries ACPI
Disable DVD drive
Disable Wireless Network device
Disable Ethernet device device

Switch On BCD3000 and make sure that you have the BCD3000 icon on your taskbar the run Traktor.

Run the software configured with the laptop sound card as your audio device, and BCD3000 as MIDI controller, your midi controls should work fine if configured with the proper T3LEMidi.tks file.

ASIO4all will only give you 1 channel sount output.

The time I wasted configuring the BCD3000 shoud have bought me 10 Numark or Vestax by now, still BCD3000 is fine if you like the challenge.

BCD3000 should only be sold / run as a MIDI controller only with separate ASIO external 2 ch. sound card.

Dear Friends:
I am frustrated with my new BCD3000. When I use it wiuth Traktor LE or Traktor 3 the controls dont respond until the sound disapears and the screen freezes (not for a moment), but If I change the parameters of latency in the menu the sound appears again.

However in the Virtual Dj the problem is the headphones stop working so I have to change the latency parameters and the sound appears again.

I have tried all combinations: Changing parameters, downloading ASIO4all, etc. I dont know what to do. I am using a PC Intel Dual Core 2.0, 2GB Ram.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Ayman,

I Thinck you have to wait for x64bit driver,

Behringer still can’t deliver a reliable 32bit driver to date
