can i do a “preFX” buttos for each dech?

hi all.
plz, help me answer a question - can i do a preFX (or FX cue) button for each deck ?

tnx. !!! Happy new YEAR !!!

You want to press a button and have it load the FX, maybe with certain presets without activating them? Yes you can do that

3

Or if you mean can you check how a Fx would sound on a track, no there isn’t a ‘FX cue’ function in Traktor(or I didn’t see it which is also a possibility).

4

I bet that’s it. There’s no way to cue FX due to the way FX are routed I believe.

5

yeah there is no way of doing it without it being played out loud (unless you have the volume to 0 or the crossfader on other deck)

6

yes, i mean it - how a Fx would sound on a track

if not, it sad :disappointed:

tnx for help

I think you can. All you have to do is the deck volume to 0, activate the CUE option, making you hear the track loud and clear on the headphones, turning the MIX knob to 0 or 100 (try it not really sure which one it was) and finally making the desired FX Unit work only on the deck where you’re playing the song on the headphones. For example if you have the song on Deck B you have to do the following:

  1. Deck volume B - 0
  2. CUE button ON (it’s the little button on the right of the deck volume with headphones painted on it, I call it cue because it’s called like that on controllers and in the mapping)
  3. Turn FX unit 2 on deck A OFF - a little above the headphone button there is FX with 1 and 2, they are ON by default
  4. Use FX Unit 2 for desired effect - it will affect only what playing on deck B.

If this doesn’t work for some reason, try Deck B volume = 100 and the crossfader max to the left.

Wouldn’t it be possible to just copy Deck A to Deck B so they are running the same song exactly paralell, then cue deck B in your headphones and adding the FX to that track?

If he’s using traktor that is.

Copying to a deck would work.

What patient said works, I did this once to apply a effect only to the highs and mids (had deck a run the track with killed lows and deck b run it with killed highs and almost killed mids)

photojojo, patient 267
thank you, coping a deck is the answer !!!

are you using 2 or 4 decks. If you just use two you could make a mapping that lets say copies A to C, and turns the FX unit on, on deck C and turns the cue on for c and the cue off for A. You could then map your fx unit on button with a few modifiers to stop deck c turn off the unit in deck c and turn on the unit in deck a. Same can be done with B and C. Or if you use 3 decks alter this so its all played out to ur headphones to just D (or C if you prefer)
