This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hey, everyone!

I'd prefer to use an older version of VDJ, before they added the auto-ducking feature...I can't seem to locate a required plug-in, however.

Does anyone know where I can find the Volume FX plug-in?

Thank you!

I'm so sorry. I meant just "ducking". I added "auto" by accident.

Hey, Locodog! I appreciate the reply...You actually helped me set up the ducking thing a few years ago.

That's not a fade that's a cut.

For an actual fade, it's trickier.


2 Dial, 1 Button Ducking with the Volume FX

first get and install the "Volume" FX
http://www.virtualdj.com/plugins/index.html?addonid=16845

Put this on a dial (custom or HW, custom will do) This sets the bottom level
(you'll only have to set this once, ever)
set '@$DukLevel' & var_equal '@$DukLevel' 0 ? set '@$DukLevel' "`get_var '@$DukLevel' & param_add 0.01"


Put this on another dial. This sets the rate, slow to very fast, (Over 100%, 7.5s to less than 0.5s )
(it too only needs to be set once)
set '@$DukRate'


Put this on a custom_button
var_equal '$DukVar' 0 ? mic on & deck 1 effect_active "Volume" 1 & deck 2 effect_active "Volume" 1 & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 2 60% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 2 60% & set '$DukCounter' 1 & repeat_start_instant 'DukSweep' 10ms 201 & var_greater '@$DukLevel' '$DukCounter' ? set '$DukVar' 1 & repeat_stop 'DukSweep' : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.1 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.005' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -0.5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -0.5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.2 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.01' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -1% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -1% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.3 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.015' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -1.5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -1.5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.4 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.02' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -2% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -2% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.5 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.025' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -2.5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -2.5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.6 ?  set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.05' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.7 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.06' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -6% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -6% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.8 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.07' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -7% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -7% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.9 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.08' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -8% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -8% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.99 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.09' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -9% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -9% : set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add -0.1' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -10% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 -10% : mic off & repeat_start_instant 'DukSweep' 10ms 202 & var_greater '$DukCounter' 1 ? set '$DukVar' 0 & repeat_stop 'DukSweep' & set '$DukCounter' 1 & deck 1 effect_active "Volume" 0 & deck 2 effect_active "Volume" 0 : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.1 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.005' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +0.5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +0.5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.2 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.01' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +1% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +1% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.3 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.015' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +1.5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +1.5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.4 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.02' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +2% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +2% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.5 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.025' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +2.5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +2.5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.6 ?  set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.05' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +5% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +5% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.7 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.06' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +6% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +6% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.8 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.07' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +7% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +7% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.9 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.08' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +8% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +8% : var_smaller '@$DukRate' 0.99 ? set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.09' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +9% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +9% : set '$DukCounter' '`get_var "$DukCounter" & param_add +0.1' & deck 1 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +10% & deck 2 effect_slider "Volume" 1 +10%


I'm trying to do THAT again, in an older version of VDJ (build 5281, to be exact). I can't seem to get it to work with Simple Volume like it did with Volume FX, though.

Not sure what you mean by 'ducking' feature either...

If you are talking about the limiter, it only kicks in when clipping distortion would otherwise occur, so the best way to prevent it from doing anything is simply make sure you don't put the gain too high.
You can use the zeroDb option if you need additional headroom while mixing too.

just rename the .dll, the script should work then.

I'm so sorry to be a pain...I'm not sure what to rename it to. I've tried changing SimpleVolume.dll to volumefx.dll, VolumeFX.dll, Volume.dll, etc...No matter what I do, the knobs do not work (I can't adjust the volume or rate of the ducking).

I really appreciate your help.

the original fx name is "volume" therefore volume.dll
I just tested it, it works fine

looked over the script, it works [even with a pre 2018 build], I'm kind of surprised it works [consistent typo]
I gave it a once over [slimmed it down, fixed typo]
it could be repackaged as a virtualfx, [it could be an effect in it's own right]
if you're struggling still, send me a pm

Thanks, Locodog! I got it to work finally. I had to do a reinstall of VDJ, so I'm sure I did something wrong along the way....It is working, though.

If you have an updated version, I'd love to try it out.

Thanks again! Your help has been very appreciated.

nothing much changed really, just thinned it down some, I used the original fx name which is "Vol" so your dll should be named that, I could make it a virtualfx, [honestly not sure if it will work with a pre 2018 build, and it wouldn't be much different [a little easier to adjust maybe] if you want it pm me.
