AUDIO LATENCY in Traktor Pro???

[R2D2]

OK Case closed !!!

the difference between playing out on 5ms latency and 15ms latency is not as relevant as having inconsistent latency, say one time you hit the button and its 4ms and the next time you hit the button you get 15ms.

humans can deal well with consistent latencies, even if they are on the higher side, you just adapt to it....

Oh and FYI, even CDJs have some latency, as they are essentially doing the same thing as your VCI computer combo, ie processing a digital data source, timestretching it if appropriate and then spitting out audio.

You should never have clipping when using Traktor NEVER.


K

what is that CLIPPING?
my tracks usually have 99db.i use igain to pump up the volume of tracks.

You should put the Audio 2 volume up full and set Traktors Master at around 0:00db or a little above.

Leave yourself some mixing room on the upfaders so have them around 60%.

This will give you a good clean sound. You should then adjust the mixer to get the volume you need.

Hi Carlos, thanks for this. I have the same setup as OP. Traktor Pro, Audio 2 DJ, VCI-100SE + a Macbook. When I play in clubs I have the Audio2DJ up full, but I keep the Traktor master volume a bit lower. I adjust the volume on the club mixer. I like to mix with my upfaders at the top, I think it would be a bit weird to have them at 60% - is this wrong?

[Karlos Santos]

Yeah its down to personal taste but if your mixing on the VCI with your upfaders at the top how do you actually mix tracks in and out if you have no fader room?

I guess your mixing internally with the VCI.

Do you mix with the gain knobs ?

Sorry what I meant was that when I'm mixing, I have the upfaders at full when I want the tune at full volume. I still mix using the upfaders. It was just that you said keep the upfaders at 60% - so do you not put them any higher than 60% at all when mixing?

[Karlos Santos]

Ah yeah get ya.
I dont tend to have the faders at the top mainly because t i always like to have some room for compensation if the Auto Gain in Traktor doesnt quite get it right (which it can from time to time).
Also some tracks have quiet bits that just need an extra bit of volume.

60% was just a guideline to start with

I never seem to have an issue with getting enough volume in the clubs so like to keep a bit of head room on the faders.

my master volume only can go to -10db without touching the red marker, what do i do wrong?
