I kissed a Behringer...

I just bought one on ebay. The listing said the FX screen fades in and out after 15 minutes of it being on, but I hope I can somehow fix that. Still waiting for it, but I'm thinking it's not going to be too bad. Paid $150 with shipping.

Good deal if you can resurrect the screen!

Another reason to love it: the MIDI clock.

Traktor is rubbish at sending MIDI clock to Maschine.

Solution: Use the DDM4000s. Just had a bash with running Maschine & Traktor slaved to the DDM4000. 2 track decks + 1 sample deck + 1 Maschine live input into Traktor, through Traktor's FX, into the DDM4000 to mix.

Stable tempo, just changing by the odd hundredths of a second rather than 5 seconds.

Wicked fun.

is that using the DDM's autodetection to set the clock, or manually setting the bpm? cos i can imagine things going crazy if it read it wrong, sent traktor the wrong bpm which then readjusted the speed, changing the bpm, being read by the ddm......a kind of midi clock feedback loop.

1) Hook up MIDI cables from DDM4000 to soundcard/MIDI input
2) Run a cable from an output on your soundcard to an input on your soundcard (soundcard must be multi-client capable on Windows, I have an audio 10)
3) In Traktor, change your input routings for decks 3 & 4 (sample decks) to that input
4) In Traktor, create a generic MIDI device with input from your soundcard/MIDI input
5) In Traktor, go to the Master clock section and click 'Ext'
6) In Maschine, go into MIDI routings and change the MIDI input port from your soundcard/MIDI input to 'Yes'
7) In Maschine go into the 'File' menu and click 'Sync to External clock'
8) In Traktor, change the deck you want to use for Maschine (you can switch whenever you like) to 'Live Input'.
9) Click the MIDI clock start button on your DDM

You know the answer to that question and it's $2899.00

hehehe you know me all too well! I'm still on the fence though when there are some very capable mixers at less than half that. I have one eye on the Mackie d4pro and another on the Ecler Evo 5, both TSP certified... (and a third eye on the Denon 1700!) But damn that DB4 is sweet!

The problem with the DB4 is that it's to new to really know what it's capable of and to expensive for most to figure it out.

Question:
If you have four tracks playing, all with gains set to peak at 0 in the monitor, and you play them all at the same time, does the master output boost?

I don't do 4 decks too much anymore on mine but it does add up.
edit : just confirmed it with a quick test. you need to tweak levels and/or eq which makes sense to me
