Long time reader, first time poster!
I'm working with Traktor Scratch Pro 2.71, and i'm using a Serato MC2000 as a midi controller.
I do a lot of chopped and screwed music, which involves using the crossfader to quickly move between decks. I also like to scratch, so i have my crossfader set very sharp. Since i'm doing a lot of chops, i keep my deck volume at 100%, and use the crossfader for all my mixing.
The problem
Traktor doesn't have a dipped crossfader, so when i'm moving it back and forth there are times when both decks are at 100%, and then you get a unpleasant increase in volume. I've seen a bunch of posts where people complain about this issue, but i haven't seen any solutions.
Ideally, NI would provide a dipped crossfader as an option. But in the meantime, i'm looking at this as a controller mapping issue.
Here's the idea
I want to set up a mapping between values of the crossfader and deck volume. When the crossfader is anywhere except the very edge, then set the deck volume to 50%. So the decks can play at 100% when the crossfader is at the very left or right, but move to 50% when its anywhere in the middle. That way, the volume stays constant.
I'm not a mapping whiz, so i'm hoping someone here can give me some tips.
Things i don't want to do
- use an external mixer (don't have one )
- simultaneously adjust deck volume (these are chops, they're too quick to deal with 3 faders)
If this can be done, i'm sure someone here can help me out!
