DDM4000 Owners

if you route it like you did: both RCA go into the ddm 4000 then you mix externally and dont map the 2 channels you have audio routed to, everything mixing (EQ, faders) are externally on the mixer.

if you want 4 channels with your 2 channel soundcard you'll have to map everything in traktor and use the ddm 4000 as a MIDI controller. then you plug your speakers and headphones directly into the soundcard

I have been figuring this out I can get sound from the mixer in intenal mode but not the correct cueing which ohh well. Thank you everyone for the help on this.

huh? no if you use the mixer in internal mode, you have to put your headphones into the soundcard.

in external mode is when you put your headphones into the ddm.

[Ashigari]

to expand a little: if you mix internally you MIDI map the whole ddm 4k to control all EQ, fader etc inside of traktor. only the MIDI-USB cable goes to your ddm

you then plug headphones and speakers into the audio 2 and route the master to the speaker output and the cueing to the phones. no sound passes through the ddm in this case and you can have up to 4 channels.

hey guys,

So if I did get all your answers correct, i can't just switch the DDM4K between Midi- and Normalmixer-mode that easily right?

For example:
If I am doing a feature with another DJ in a club, who wants to use two of the four channels on the DDM4K and I am using the other two (for example with the Audio 2 DJ). This would only work in the "analog mode" so in the non-midi mode right?

I was wondering if it is possible to switch for example between the midi-mode (in which i use the mixer as a controller for Traktor Pro) and the analog-mode (in which we both use it as a normal mixer with Low, Mid and High adjustments) just by hitting a button?

I know this is all a little confusing but I hope you understand what my question is

i think switching between MIDI and analogue is done via the menu on the ddm 4000, where you have to specify which part is MIDI and which isnt. shouldnt take too long but as I dont own one I cant tell. and FYI the LED and gain cant be mapped via MIDI, which sucks

[bartboy]

The LEDs of the DDM4000 can't be mapped? I'm pretty sure they can. But yes you cannot map the Gain button but I kinda like that as I have a Turntable hooked up to input 4 which allows me to drop in an old record when I feel like it and the gain is the only volume control you have it's not the cleanest solution but it's what I have to work with right now.

[DJ Asand]

If you leave the whole mixer in MIDI mode but Un-Check the channels to still pass audio, you can use the channels for MIDI AND for Audio.
you won't be able to EQ the channels but you can still control the gain.

and LEDs can be mapped, but when I tried on my ddm, they were VERY faint
