DDM4000 Owners

[bartboy]

I have been plugging away at a mapping for my new DDM4000 and I have been wondering how I will route the audio. Does the DDM4K work as a soundcard in MIDI mode or am I still going to need to route the speakers and audio thru the DJ IO that I own? If anyone has an answer thanks in advance.

No. You'll need to route the audio from you IO into the DDM4K, and then the speaker to the DDM4K through an amp (unless you have powered speakers).

Ok thats what I thought TY

[BennyJ]

ur u can route it right from the soundcard to whatever system u got

I have got a ddm4000 and audio2dj,

Im currently mixing in analogue but just depends on your preference.

Well Im going to be using the DDM4K as a midi controller along side a APC20 for all my button mashing needs so I'm still a little confused on exactly what cables I need to run thru the DDM4K. I'll get it sorted out I've got my traktor bible and a pot of coffee so I'll be good but if anyone has a setup like this let me know how you set it up.

[marTTyn]

These are your setup options for either digital or analogue mixing...

[bartboy]

Got it all setup thank you all.

You're going to need to use your sound card regardless... if you want to mix internally in traktor then it has to go straight from your soundcard to audio system. if you are using external mixing then it goes to the sound inputs in the mixer. the thing about the ddm4000 is you can't have best of both worlds. once you enable midi on any of the channel sections that channel section is no longer able to mix audio inputted into it. I use a sl-1 as a sound card and when i'm using the ddm4000 as a traktor controller i mix internally and use a RCA>1/4'' TRS cable to plug one of the channels into the Mic Input so that the Mic Thru port acts as a handy dandy headphone jack. works pretty well IMHO

I may have it setup wrong but ATM I have 2 RCA cables going from my DJ IO into Input 1 & 2 on my DDM4K. Mixing Internally I was mixing Externally and it was working fine the only thing is if you setup Traktor to Mix Externally you can't controller the crossfader or volume faders with MIDI commands. Otherwise it's all working fine I get my onboard effects from the mixer and Traktor.
