Monitor/Preview for remix decks.

[zimfella]

I did.

The last post was just dumb brainstorming.

With the loop recorder return back into the mixer can the remix decks be routed onto the same channel? Leaving a spare channel to preview the samples

I'ust bought an audio 8, so like you I'm wondering about cueing the samples before playing them on the remix decks .

Trying to wright this on my phone at work, excuse the vague shot typing.

Yeah, I am wondering if I will have to purchase an Audio 10...

If your by your setup at the mo can you see if the preview output volume control is available when mixing externally. It is when mixing internally.

Audio 10 needs another plug for power, which I was trying to avoid.

same here.. maybe I just get a digital recorder then....

I am not by my setup right now.. sorry

no worries. Will check when I get home. Did you upgrade to 2.5?
If so, how stable do you find it?

I have, I am using the F1 with it... It seems to be almost 99% stable for me. Only issue I have had was a delay every once and a while when I scroll through the trees. Nothing too major. Please let me know your results tonight. I am thinking of picking up a digital recorder and just using one of the decks for the cueing. I don't use the 4th deck right now anyways, so I won't be missing anything.

hi sorry to get back so late, have to finish off a paper for uni i'm struggling with. I'm gonna wait for the next traktor update before getting an F1 with version 2.5+

still running v2.1.1 as find that the most stable for me.

what I ended up doing was routing the loop recorder with the sample/remix decks to one channel on my mixer. the fouth channel on my mixer I used for the preview player to hear what samples or songs to play next. Decks A/B both had there own channels. I was still able to record in traktor to.

audio 8 settings audio out
deck A ch 1/2
deck B ch 3/4
deck C ch 5/6
deck D ch 5/6
fx return (loop recorder) ch 5/6
preview payer output ch 7/8

audio 8 input settings
recording input on ch 7/8
fx input on ch 5/6 (aux out from mixer into there for loop recorder)

hope it makes sense. You will just have to load the samples into the preview player to hear them first instead of cueing.

I guess that's a big benefit of internal mixing in traktor, being able to cue samples easily. Still not enough to make me give up my xone 62.

If anybody else got a different way, would be cool to see.

I wish NI would address this. Having a shiny new F1 where I can't monitor the slots when mixing externally is a HUGE pain. I am thinking that they could just route the internal monitor bus to the same bus as the preview player. Or alternatively, add another output routing option like "Internal Monitor Output" or "Remix Deck Monitor Output" to the external mixing audio routing.

You sir should work for NI!

I spoke with Mike (DJ Endo) over the weekend... He said there is no way right now to cue tracks in external mode. Best option is to color code the samples and go from there... This is somethinng he will be addressing with the engineers as something on the wishlist for upcoming updates...

I would guess this will get resolved soon enough. Seems pretty important.
