Frustration: Traktor effects and track levels!

[padi_04]

I dno man. I've been to clubs where the music is so minimal it sounds like they're playing an 8 beat loop all night...

As a bit of a dickhead once said,

I'm not saying he should do an Ambient set during peak time, but working with dynamics helps a lot to create/enhance breakdowns. Knowing how each FX affect this is basic.

OT:

ive noticed that echos and similar stuff will raise the volume, and a lot of other effects lower it. its quite annoying sometimes.

That's the nature of effects though, surely...how good is an echo going to sound if it stays at the same level? By it's very nature an echo gets louder, that's what an echo is....etc etc.

Actually doesn't the echo naturally die out? The problem is the precieved sound is louder due to the build up of soundwaves!

Reverb is the killer for me.. I know it's going to raise the volume, it's nothing to do with Traktor, it's just annoying!

Lol.

It depends on your feedback and d/w setting how much the echo will add and for how long. Using the filter (in advanced) helps a lot to tame reverbs and delays.

he he...

PS: Some dynamics won't kill you.

Just everyone's ears in this case. Also want to be helpful and pass a link along that describes how much the volume will jump with each effect?

Being helpful is cool.

you could always map the volume fader to the parameter knob aswell. set it on invert and relative with a low sensitivity like 15% (as a guess) so it drops the volume off a bit...

Awesome idea!! Thank you!!

I am being helpful, I'm telling you to get to know each effect. If the gain is rising that much, the problem is you, not an FX working the way it should. The same goes with the ones that lower it.

I don't have a link to explain that directly, because it depends on a couple of variables how much is added, and I was talking about general fx usage, not Traktor.

It's just not the "easy" way.
