VirtualDJ 6 LE TC

1) INTRODUCTION

VirtualDJ 6 LE TC is a dedicated version of VirtualDJ, developed by Atomix Productions, tailored for Hercules DeeJay TRIM 4&6 and timecoded CDs and/or vinyl records. Atomix Productions and its suppliers retain all intellectual property rights to the software.
The first time you run VirtualDJ 6 LE TC, you are asked to enter a serial number.
This serial number is found on the envelope of your installation CD. This serial number belongs to you: you cannot change it, and you must not share it with any other user of VirtualDJ; otherwise, you won't be able to register on the VirtualDJ website, which will not let you access VirtualDJ service updates, plug-ins, or upgrades. Keep both the CD envelope and the installation CD in a safe place, since both the serial number and the installation CD are required if you re-install your system, or change your computer. The serial number format is xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx / TRIM.
Welcome to VirtualDJ 6 LE TC
This powerful DJ mixing software is adapted to your Hercules DeeJay TRIM 4&6, offering instant access to scratching functions and deep integration of the software with the hardware in the Windows XP®, Vista®, 7™ and Mac OS® environments.
This dedicated version of VirtualDJ requires Hercules DeeJay TRIM 4&6 to be installed and connected to the computer’s USB port. Therefore, before running VirtualDJ 6 LE TC, Hercules DeeJay TRIM 4&6 must be installed and connected to your computer’s USB port.
In Windows XP, Vista and 7: if you see the Hercules DeeJay TRIM 4&6 icon in your taskbar with no red X over it, then the audio interface is properly connected and detected.
DEUTSCH
NEDERLANDS ENGLISH FRANÇAIS
If you see the DeeJay TRIM 4&6 icon in your taskbar with a red X over it your controller is not detected on any of your PC’s USB ports, so running VirtualDJ 6 LE TC is not possible until this red X disappears.
