audio routing issues with custom vci

[Tash :)]

hey guys.. having some issues here with my vci 100 se arcade edition (rockits plugged into a mbox 2 mini, and headphones connected through the head phone jack into the mbox 2) (mac). i am running traktor pro 1.2.4 but for some reason it will not allow the audio routing for my headphones to work. in other words, when i play two songs at the same time they both channel out through my speakers. my acrade buttons are also set up for weird functions like play, cue and pause when really they should be for hot cues and sampling. if anyone has any information at all to help me get start mixing i'll be beyond thrilled.

thanks,

tash

Audio - check your output routings in the preferences in Traktor. Check your cue buttons on the VCI. Check the monitor mix on your VCI.
With most mappings, the Arcade button's primary functions are Play, Pause etc, 'cos that is what you'll mostly be using them for. You'll either have to find a mapping that's different or remap those buttons.

If you use the latest DJTT mapping you can put the arcade buttons in juggle mode which will activate those as cues.

Take a look at the overlay on that page and you'll see juggle 1-4 and juggle 5-8 in the upper left.

I've never used an M-box2, so this might be a stupid question. But, does it have separate output channel for the headphones, or does it just mirror the master out?
As for the button functions, like Lethal said, it sounds like you want an advanced mapping. You can find a great one here...

Along with some tutorials for setting everything up.

AH! Chris, ya beat me to it.

weird functions like play, cue and pause

pretty normal and necessary functions imho....






but, yeah +1 on finding the juggle mode button/switch/whatever - don't use that map so no idea

The Mbox 2 Mini only has 1 stereo output, so you won't be able to set up a main output and a cue output. Unfortunately, it does not support aggregate devices so you couldn't combine it with your built-in headphones.

is there anyway i can use the mon out for the cue? if not, should i get the audio 2 or the audio 4?

the mbox 2 is pretty much trash... its pretty much a protools access card (thats whta I used it for). You *can* use it with traktor, but you will not have monitor, only master in the headphones.

If your not ever going to hook up CDJ's or turntables get the Audio 2. the sound is just as good and it's the size of a deck of cards.
