trill rear end posted:new jam yall Hey this is great. That big fat riff is just awesome and the stucture is great too. This is something I did recently, I'm still pretty amatuer but I really like this one. Needs a couple more layers though, I wanna put some vocal samples over the top.

I figure this would be the best place to ask rather than making a new thread: I recently bought a Vestax VCI-100 that comes with Traktor 3 LE, and it works perfectly fine with that. Yesterday I decided to upgrade to Traktor Pro, but now it will not detect any input from the VCI or even show that it is plugged it. The device shows up on the MIDI setup menu and in the OSX MIDI Instrument utility, but no amount of restarting or installing will get it to show up in Traktor Pro. It still shows up and works fine with LE after installing Pro. Has anyone had this problem or know what to do?

Why can't I midi-map the crossfader in Ableton? It will only let me bind the the center, left and right positions but won't let me bind the just fader. I've looked on google with no luck... Help?

It's weird, it basically won't let me select the crossfader arrow. Like I only have the option of midi mapping left right center. It's probably something weird to do with ableton 8 and windows 7. The mode the crossfader is in doesn't seem to effect it.

I'm trying to reduce latency on a digital piano (yamaha dgx-205) connected via usb to my pc and ableton 8. the latency isn't too extreme but just enough to be annoying while playing - what I'm trying to do is figure out how to reduce it. I'm using the soundcard built onto the motherboard (since I can't use my firewire interface on this desktop because the pci port is covered by the huge video card!) but I still expected there to be no noticeable latency since this is a 3ghz core2duo desktop. any tips on improving the latency with this setup?

I'm no expert but if you're using onboard sound the delay is probably coming from the audio output latency of your soundcard. Switching to something with ASIO support should reduce it considerably.

ASIO is pretty much required but if it's not possible you may be able to reduce the latency to tolerable levels by reducing the size of the buffer in the audio preferences menu, I think you can get away with around 128 samples, not sure, it's been a while since I used DirectX sound.

Despite my worries about the way my song sat in audacity, I've dispelled my fear by pulling up a Danger song and doing a side-by-side comparison. Apparently I'm doing it right!

If your track looks like that its going to have next to no dynamics and probably sound like rear end hth.

Apparently I'm doing it right! If you don't know if you're doing right, then you probably aren't. Is your song distorting or is it compressed? Are you comparing your unmastered or mastered work with the Danger-song? Also, the waveforms say little about the actual sound at that level of detail. And the waveforms say nothing about the frequency spectrum or the stereo-image or the perceived loudness.

Even take away the shameless respect for the masked man you pose before question mark #1. Seriously dude, it gets better out there, in the "electronic song" world or whatever you must be referring to, and by better I don't even mean better, I mean in that in no way could you begin to make an argument about "most any electronic song", much less concerning how the compacted digital waveform view of "most any electronic song"(s) look. ...

Any time the waveform hits the top or bottom, you are losing sound data and making your track sound cheaper and less complex. Reduce your levels to avoid clipping, then amplify later in mastering etc. A properly mixed and mastered tune always sound bigger and better than a clipped to poo poo one.

Sorry to butt in, and also if this has been answered elsewhere in this thread, but is there a anywhere near comprehensive guide to mastering that can be found online, especially geared towards DAW users or electronica in general?

I've just started playing around with Ableton Live and I've got a question about triggering sounds in session view. Here is my situation: I have a song and an acapella of that song, most gigs, I just play the song straight through, but occasionally, I like to fade over to the acapella and get just the vocals. The acapella isn't the same length as the song either, so they have to play in sync. This is relatively simple in Traktor, but I'm wondering how it should be accomplished in live. After about two hours of fiddling, I think what I want to have happen, is for there to be some marker in the song that, when triggered, causes live to drop to the next scene, which includes the acapella playing, muted, timed and ready for mixing. I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, please tell me how. Thanks a tonne guys! Oh, also, I'm looking for Traktor Pro key mappings for a Korg NanoPad, if anyone's got them.

I don't think I've ever posted anything here for criticism, but this was a collaboration with a friend and he insisted   It's a little acid ditty made with Audiorealism Bassline 2 and some 808 samples. Any thoughts?
