Help!!!
Hey guys, need help! just starting out getting my gear together, so I have a few questions…
-can i run the efx-1000 through the apc 40 while using the apc 40 as a controller for traktor pro?
or
-do I need a seperate mixer and if so, can I use the Traktor S4 controller?
CHEERS
No. If I remember efx1000 does not have any midi through only audio signal. Conversely the APC40 does not handle audio signal so using the EFX “through” the APC is not physically possible.
You can use the efx with an s4 but getting the individual channels to/from the efx will cause slight latency issues with the signal and you get a noticeable loss of sound with a phase effect. Or you could run the master through the efx but any fx would affect all channels (it is the mastoer out).
The efx doesn’t really work well with any mixer other than pioneers in my experience. Getting a proper sound with send/return from the likes of say, A&H to work well with the EFX is not worth the effort
OK thanks mate.
so, lets say i have traktor pro with the apc 40 as controller, could I get the full use of all the ableton fx while i’m mixing or what would u recommend?
I’d recommend using TPs built in FX and call it a day. Unless you have some highly tuned custom fx in Abelton then you could route audio via software with soundflower (ithink it’s called that) et al.
if your used to the efx though the traktor efx dont cut it.1 bar delay instead of 2
no pitch echothere is a pitch but its not that good imo) not as many1/8 1/4 1/2 parameters.
(i don’t want to hear anyone saying that it can be done because i,ve spent a fair bit of time to replicate these functions because members told me it was possible,so if you are going to argue the point post your t.s.i’s to prove me wrong.
)
there are some good efx and uses but you have to think differently than the efx1000
ok, so what set up (not overly expensive) would u recommend if i want to use the efx-1000 and traktor pro?
