Thanks to some help from Jand last week, I've finally got Traktor to work on my laptop (thanks mate ;-)) It's the answer to all my prayers man! I've been looking for a live laptop solution for ages, and I think this is it! I think I may return to the live scene soon! Get in! |

By the way Spikee, I think Cylob's playing at World Headquarters tomorrow night - are you going? I don't think I am - no money, and work the next day. :( |

Manic, Nope, I missed No Dexx too. :/ I just never get to hear about all these gigs. I'm a very busy dragon. The only reason i'm on here so much is thanks to my connection at work. |

Jand: Cheers mate. There's a chance that I may play a low-key gig in Newcastle over the summer some time (depends if my mate's band are playing). The drum and bass night I used to play at isn't on again until September, so if I do play anything big-ish, it won't be until then. Spikee: I know what you mean. I wish I could go to Cylob! I went to No-Dexx, which was quite cool. We need more of these events in Newcastle. |

what exactly does this program do? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its an mp3 mixing program isnt it? manicminer, are u running it on a machine with 2 soundcards? if not how are u getting 2 channels out of it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah, it's for mixing MP3s... Aphex uses it when DJing....it's real popular with a lot of laptop DJs.... You can get real creative with it & there's a lot of realtime control...plus it does loads of shit for ya so beat matching is easier etc....it's a smart replacement for Winamp as well as it's database/playlist is a lot better.... There's a demo version at Native Instruments site (can't recall the link but should be easy to find if yu wanna know more about it...).... |

does it work with mac? |

traktor is simply a pc dj rippoff. i hate NI at times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
normally NI releases software for the mac before the PC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both your statements are rubbish! It's far beyond pc dj NI develop their software on PCs then convert to mac, the only times they've done this is when they do a liscensing deal with other developers eg Absynth.... How's it going nanotech? you look a bit shady... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pc dj came out WAY before traktor ever did, and reaktor and absynth were made for the mac before pc. |

I'm not discussing it with you...there's been plenty of mp3 mixers about for a long time, there's also been plenty of software modular synth emulators about too. What is pc dj a rippoff from? actually I am discussing it with you.... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
do u have to have 2 soundcards to mix with traktor? surely you do?... |
||||||||
|

Hi Chapman No, you don't need 2 soundcards. What you can do is to assign one stereo channel to be the PA (Master), and one channel to be the monitor (i.e. what you would hear through your headphones). Admittedly, this means that your mixes are only in mono, but personally that doesn't bother me in the slightest. Jand helped me with setting this up. Basically, in Traktor you go to "setup" and then in audio under the "one sound device" heading click on "Master & Monitor 2 x Mono", and obviously select your soundcard where it says "device". This should work. It worked for me with a laptop with an on-motherboard (i.e. not very good) soundcard. |

I havent' heard of so many mp3 mixers...only a few that has a simular layout as pc dj...traktor. Your second point sugests that i feel that just because they do the same basic function that means that they are rippoffs. Infact that only mirrors how you must precieve ppl, god ol' mighty. I worship you! HEY ZEUS!!!!!!!! SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BE GOD!!!!! GET UR ASS IN HERE AND RECLAIM YOUR THRONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Did you get it working Chapman? |

If I like traktor and can save enough, I'll probably buy an extigy soundcard so I'll have 2 soundcards - stereo mix ago-go! I like stereo for doing fun panning stuff. I managed to get rebirth working with my surround sound and it was great to have the synth going back and forth across the room with the drums pounding from the sub :) |
