Does anyone else think the Traktor filters sound bad?
When I use the Traktor Ladder filters, I think they sound terrible. When the knob hits 2pm, the highs get very LOUD. This does not sound good in a mix at all. When I switch the filter to Xone, then it sounds too weak. I’m looking for a filter sound in between Traktor Ladder and Traktor Xone filters, something that sounds like the Pioneer filters.
Does anybody else notice that it gets overly loud at the 2pm position using the Traktor Ladder filters?
If you are talking about the deck filters, then they originally were not meant to have any resonance in them at all, they were to aid in mixing, so therefore sound ‘weak’.
For example, the new sample banks in the S4 software have a filter knob instead of dedicated EQs. This is where having no resonance comes in handy.
What actually happened with the deck ladder filter is that NI accidentally released a version with too much resonance in. Everyone moaned, so they took it out again. Everyone else moaned, so they put it in again.
Of course, you can use the filters in an FX slot if you want more control over the parameters.
The best solution would be if you could choose and lock the amount of resonance for the deck filters.
Yes. The ‘Xone’ filters sound too weak. The ‘Ladder’ filters sound good but they make the music unusually loud as you turn it to the right. It especially gets loud at the 2pm position. Not good.
when i tried out the s4 at the native studio i talked to a guy about that filter problem and he told me that they arre going to fix. it´s a known problem…hope it will work in the next updates
