has any1 bought the traktor pro bible
I am just wondering if any1 has bought this book. As it seem very expensive for what it is
It’s the most in depth overview of Traktor you will find any where. I HIGHLY recommend it.
My friend purchased the second edition a awhile back, I’m too lazy to read but he found it very useful. I didn’t really care for it, but it saved me from having to explain everything to him, worth the $33 
I bought one.
I only ask cuz im planning on releasing a book on MIDI mapping. I have decided to give it away with a donate button on my site. Just, the traktor bible book on the whole subject of traktor doesnt seem very long. Maybe im just a geek, I like to work out different ways of using stuff. Would people be interested in a midi mapping book, well its nearly done so releasing it anyway.
I woudl be interested in any midi mapping book. Are you just doing midi mapping with Traktor? Have you got S4 covered? It’s a little different on some of the commands and I suspect the new traktor will have some small changes. he traktor Bible is 384 pages including the index and TOC. That’s seems pretty big to me.
im going to update the book each week should start at about 60 pages, however hoping to have about 120 by march. Im not sure how much the traktor bible has on midi mapping. I dont have an s4 atm so cant do the s4 version ( will hopefully have one soon). Hopefully NI add more modifiers in the new version as I have run out.
No More Modifers PLEASE!
why no more modifiers they are useful
8 are more then enough, even more if’s
but really, a mapping with 8 Modifiers are overkill for traktor, you will make at least one mistake every 5 minutes. I would love if Ableton got the Mapping from Traktor, and Traktor of Ableton’s.
more than 8 Modifiers… c’mon
8 really isnt overkill You need 3 mods to get faderstart feature to work. so they cannot be used for anything else. then I used a modifier to turn off browser mode if im in it wheni load a track then the rest are used for supernobs
StuC I think your looking at modifiers in a basic shift sort of function way. That is one way to use them however they are far more powerfull than that
(sorry about this) is the Bible just as helpful for S4 as it is for the prior versions? (i assume it is)…
Well, but the case is, for preparation you can’t get enough modifierrs. But for Live-Use, i want dedicated buttons, so i don’t have to think about which fuction this button now is.
I also use not the same TSi’s for Preparation and Live. If i miss something on the Mapping-Side of Traktor, it’s this(more IF’s; if not =X;then):
in earlier TraktorVersions, the Modifiers were Global, this should be still an Option too.
There’s an update coming that will cover S4, but if you’re new to traktor the rest of the book is also essential reading.
StuC. Superknobs dont have to change they can be constant and theorticaly you could use all 8 modifiers in that one nob. More realisticly 4 faders with 3 mods each
Ok, well, but if i wanna make such things, i’ll use BomeMidiTranslator and configure the Controller from the beginning. But making a 10Mb TSI can’t be the solution (my opinion)
its not going to be 10meg is it? Bomes is a good program but does have issues and alot of the time it is better to do things with MIDI. Also let say some one just wants two superfaders that you can do using 4 mods and they have other stuff like faderstart is it really worth £50 to do that? Bomes is better i fully support that statment however it is not for everybody
First of all, BMT doesn’t have any issues that I know of. What exactly are you referring to? Show me someone having problems with BMT, and I’ll show you someone who hasn’t bothered to learn how it works.
Second, when you’re using BMT, YOU’RE USING MIDI. What on earth are you talking about? It’s MIDI. Is that fact that it’s in hex confusing you?
