Here are the settings I have set in Traktor that I've found helpful, for what it's worth (some of these might match defaults, idk): Audio Setup -> Enable Multi-Core Processor Support Loading -> Loading only into stopped deck Loading -> Duplicate deck when loading same track Transport -> Key Lock -> Quality -> HiQ Decks Layout -> Platter/Scope -> Minimized Decks Layout -> Misc -> Show Minute Markers Decks Layout -> Misc -> Color Mode -> Spectrum Decks Layout -> Deck Header -> Show Cover Art Track Decks -> Deck Header  Mixer -> Level -> Enable Autogain (keep an eye on your gains if you turn this on, sometimes the detected autogain is wack) Mixer -> Level -> *Disable* Limiter (I had a sound engineer tell me my signal was crap with the limiter on) Mixer -> Level -> Headroom -> -3dB File Management -> Determine track-time automatically File Management -> Analyze new imported tracks File Management -> Analyze new tracks when loaded into deck Hope this is helpful for someone

Yeah, I don't know why the manual would have ever stated that. External mixing mode should only be used if you are actually controlling your mixing outside of traktor (e.g. when using an audio interface with or without scratch control). Since the controllers like the S2 and S4 only have one main output, it would be impossible to use them in this fashion

qirex posted:Are people not into Sony V6/V6506 anymore? Before the current crop of DJ-focused headphones started coming out 12ish years ago they were what everybody used. Is it because they don't get as loud as more modern ones? They're $78 on Amazon [and you'll probably have to replace the pads after a few years for $10]. I'm still using my v900s. I think they are pushing 13 or 14 years old now

A lot of good labels are on Bandcamp too. I try to buy from there if they have releases I’m looking for as it more directly supports the artist And they support FLAC/WAV/AIFF without paying a “format fee” like on Beatport which is nice

actionjackson posted:Is there any major differences in the SL types? i.e. MKxxx The MK2 have the pitch lock groove (instead of a button) which is a pain in the rear end to deal with when mixing Look for M3Ds or better

actionjackson posted:Yep, got them at 320 CBR, thanks. The pitch lock in Traktor is going to be higher quality than the CDJs and as good if not better than whatever you might do in Audacity. Be sure to flip on the “high cpu” setting if you are on a modern laptop for better quality. Last I recall that is not the default setting

Maybe try doing a consistency check on your HDD itself using Disk Utility? Maybe there are errors in the filesystem itself.

Mister Speaker posted:I'm not really into the streaming integration side of things,but I have to say this part has got me really curious. You may have seen my posts earlier ITT about my endless quest to sync my DJ libraries and databases across three computers in both Traktor and Rekordbox. This utility you're using, would it work for these purposes? I'm on a Mac, if it makes a difference. CDJs are not meant to be on real networks like that. They simulate their own ad-hoc network when plugged in. If you only have two, just link them directly to each other with an Ethernet cable. If you have more than two, put them on their own isolated switch and not one that handles “real” network traffic

MrSargent posted:I want to pick up a second turntable to start practicing DJing on vinyl more but I really don't want to spend a lot on it. I currently have an AT-LP120 which works perfect for what I need and wanted to pick up another used one to pair with it. I could grab a silver one for about $150, but my current one is black and I feel like that might drive me crazy having two different colored tables. I also don't think I have ever seen someone DJing with two different colored turntables and am wondering if that would make me look like a weirdo. Just spray paint them both gold or something

Super86 posted:Regarding Beatport, I use Juno Download. I've found it has generally better prices, especially when you buy whole albums. However everybody seems to recommend Beatport. Is there something I'm missing? Beatport generally has a lot more content and also has exclusivity with a lot of labels for new releases. Used to be 4 to 8 weeks from street date but I don’t know if that’s still the case. If you’re just casually buying whatever, Juno is fine Since you don’t really know any of the music, I would start with charts (top sales for the different genres, charts put together by DJs you like or recognize), and then branch out from there

I would not pay that kind of money for a DJM600. It’s honestly a pretty garbage tier mixer compared to anything modern Maybe I’m just bitter because I played on them so regularly back in the day and had more than one good set recording not turn out because the quality was so bad

Key transpose is not the same thing as pitch shifting

First CD players I ever DJ’d with were some rack-mount front-load players that did have pitch control in the form of a tiny slider on the front panel, but no jog wheels. Played tons of sets in my early years where CDJ-100s were the norm in venues, before the advent of 1000s and later the 800s I’ve also played vinyl on all manner of janky-rear end thrift store turntables too. The worst I remember was a random house party that I was at the evening after I had gone record shopping, and the records were still in my car. The party had a pair of decks set up so I hopped on, but one of the turntables’ pitch fader didn’t work so I had to do all my pitch matching on the other deck, regardless of whether it was the live channel or not Good times P.S. I’m old and I’ve been doing this for a really really long time

You might also consider separating the battery requirements by investing in a portable rechargeable power station (basically a giant lithium battery with a built in inverter) This would open up more options for the speakers and other gear by not having to shop for only battery-powered versions Edit: Anker is a brand I’ve trusted for a while now. They make several models with built in or separate solar panels for charging as well Something like this: https://a.co/d/6PUoibi vanilla slimfast fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Apr 22, 2024 |
