Denon DN X1600 Traktor Pro 2 setup tutorial anyone ?

Just got my new denon mixer, and am still trying to figure out how to set it up correctly to use with traktor pro 2.

first off I installed the asio driver for denon.

Then I went to setup the usb in utilitys.

So far I understand that I want the mixer to be set on USB B ?

And I have set in usbassign, USB 1/2 to Master and USB 3/4 to Master, even though it says to change it to cue monitor bus, but this is not available to be selected? USB channel 5/6 disabled, USB 7/8 disabled.

At this stage I dont know what I am doing.

In traktor audio device settings it says, the device is connected with asio denon but the output routing needs to be configured, I look in this section but there are no outputs to be selected.

I dont want to do too much fiddling with this mixer incase I do something silly.

If anyone could walk me through how they set up their Denon with TP2 I would be so happy.

i’ll do a video for you later mate. can be a bit confusing at first.

did you do the firmware update 2000sys yet?

Thanks a million man :slight_smile:

I have updated the asio driver to the one which came with the cd. Not sure what the 2000sys is?

Ive managed to get sound coming through the mixer now, but all the channels are mapped differently within traktor so I cant use the EQs or pretty much any knob or fader to do anything within traktor.

hold on a bit. i’ll upload the firmware for you and walk you through it.

cool cool thanks man

ok grab this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55238820/DNX1600.rar

  • find the file “X1600FW.BIN”
  • put that file on a USB stick, but not in a sub folder
  • plug the stick into USB A on the mixer (mixer must be OFF)
  • Hold “MIC 2” & “DUCKING” together with the mixer still off
  • Turn on the mixer, while still holding those buttons
  • follow the onscreen prompts, the current firmware is 2000 you may have 1010 depending.

this vid may help from a bout halfway through.

will work on the setup video after lunch. i’ve been meaning to do one for 6 months :slight_smile:

11

I’ve actually been looking to buy either this mixer or the 1700. Jester, is there a midi mapping that come with it for Traktor or did you have to map it all yourself?

12

better do do it your self i think. i have the midi strip set up for browsing and loading tracks, and thats about it at this stage.

13

Followed your tutorial mate, great stuff, turns out I was already at firmware 2000, probably because my mixer was new enough from the factory. Eagerly awaiting your next vid :slight_smile:

One question regarding the mapping, I thought the mixer was plug and play, meaning would be already mapped ? Seems not to be from what yee guys have been saying.

Would you be up for haring your mapping on DJTT ?

Wonder can you map anything to utilise the contour and other knobs to emulate what they say they do ?

14

I’m also not sure what they’re talking about, Preferences > Setup Wizard > Yes > Denon > DN-X1600 > Next > Finish should be enough no? I don’t own a 1600, but it’s a certified mixer after all.

The manual has a full list of what’s MIDI mappable.

15

yes if you use the setup wizard in traktor it sets up the default mapping. vid uploading now.
easy to find if something is midi mappable, if the midi light comes on in the display when you move something, you can map it.

16

hope this helps a bit. any more questions hit me up.

17

thanks a mill for all the help jester, great vid :slight_smile:

Still have one problem, no sound is coming through my speakers which are connected via rca to 1/4" into my amp, traktor is showing sound is present in the gain though.

My outputs are set on external and matched to each channel.

Also I cannot change the sample rate, it is greyed out on 96000Khz, i wish to change it to 44.1, but when i go to the asio control panel I have no choice in selecting 44.1.

Any Ideas ?

Sorry for being a bother.

18

I can get it to play sound when I set the usb assign to the master though.

19

to change the sample rate on the mixer, go into SYSTEM in the utility, you can also check the firmware version and whether it is set to pc or mac.

change usb 1/2 to channel 1 and usb 3/4 to channel 2.
