VirtualDJ Settings
From VirtualDJ ->Settings ->OPTIONS tab ->CONTROLLER category, you can find a setting when the REV5 is connected to select the type for the Deck VU-meters (linear or logarithmic)
Recording & Broadcasting
The REV5 offers the ability to record the Master Output along with the Microphone and AUX Inputs directly from VirtualDJ record button (in the MASTER center panel). There are 2 dedicated Recording input channels carrying the Master output signal (your mix) and both can be configure to carry the signal from the Microphone Inputs using the DDJ-REV5 Settings Utility. VirtualDJ is using the 1st USB input as a "record" line in default Audio setup.
If you not using the Microphone inputs, or do not wish to record their signal, you can also remove the "record" line from VirtualDJ Audio setup.
MICROPHONE & AUX INPUTS
DDJ-REV5 offers two Microphone and one AUX Inputs, along with Level and EQ controls from the front panel. The audio signals from these inputs are directly routed to the Master Output of the device.
None of these inputs is part of the USB Audio interface, so these cannot be used in VirtualDJ Audio setup and will not control the software Microphone section in the MASTER panel of VirtualDJ GUI and vice versa.
However, as mentioned in the Recording section, both Microphone and AUX Inputs can be recorded within VirtualDJ via the dedicated recording input channel of the Audio interface.
