Request a new mapping service to be added to DJtechtools store.
first i would like to say, this forum is the best on the web! It has always been the best on the web and will always be the best. The community here is amazing and the amount of knowledge one can receive here is untouched. Ive been off and on this forum for a couple of years now, and anytime i have a question or an issue; the problem is solved right here. I want to thank all of you for your kindness, respect and hospitality.
That being said, I would like to ask all of you to help getting some kind of service where we could pay for custom mappings.
My idea, if you have a controller and have all these ideas about how you want it mapped, you could make a template and pay to have it mapped. Depending on the extensiveness of the mapping would depend on the price.
I know of many mappers that have the ability to provide this service. However, to have a regulated service, belonging to a trusted source; would be ideal.
How many people would like to see this here on DJTT? Does anybody else have ideas they could add?
For any of this to even be considered, there would have to be a need. Am I the only one who is wishing this?
Cant wait to hear thoughts or at least see a couple hundred +1’s
DJTT was thinking about selling mappings here, I remember. But the majority wanted to get the mappings for free. Me as well.
I believe it´s better to provide free mappings and to help people mapping their own controllers. i love the idea of open source.
Even if somebody is mapping exactly my ideas, I prefer mapping it on my own. Just in case I want to change some commands, improve my workflow, etc.
Just my opinion.
What I think, that folks like to have their controllers doing over and above the basic commands that the manufacturers provide, squeezing more functionality out of it, so a ‘one size fits all’ won’t work.
So, it’s really going to be down to each user, and what they need their controller to do, and on their chosen software.
I still think this is a great idea! I just got a Kontrol S2 and did not reallize how much of a pain it is to map it to Deckadance… I would be tempted to pay for a legit (generic even) mapping I could use with the old DD1.94 and my S2.
Surprised more people are not interested in this. There could be 2 tiers in the DJTT store: 1 for cheaper generic mappings and 1 for more expensive custom mappings.
Guess if DJTT goes not want to do it someone could make a few bucks in the buy and sell section?
I’ll map what gear I have to Traktor/serato/Vdj (when I can be arsed to learn mapping on vdj)
I’ve mapped Denon mc6Kmk2, novation launchpad S, and Launchcontrol XL. Also Akai Lpd8, and alesis Q49 to traktor with good success
personally i find mapping quite difficult, i’ve had several attempts with little success. the stuff i actually managed to map are often stuff i care very little about such as keylock which i don’t even use.
I’ve had all manner of problems trying to map the reset button and this would be so much use to me in so many ways as well.
I found once I got the concepts of mapping, It was easy. I know Traktor’s mapping system isn’t the easiest but I think in this situation; ease of use and customization are mutually exclusive.
Out of curiosity, what level of knowledge and experience with MIDI are those who are having problems mapping?
djing for about 15 years but quite new to traktor.
I can map serato no problem but traktor, even with me following video’s or guides never seems to bloody work.
So i just give up, carry on mixing and using the mouse to reset for example.
I find it quite frustrating. I was just saying to the mrs last night; where do these guys get the patience to map these things?!
As with most technical work, most non technical people dont value enough the time it takes.
A simple mapping might take 3+ hours to be working and tested, and Id want at least $100 for that length of job and no one is going to pay that for a mapping.
I started playing with mapping about 3 years ago in Traktor, very intimidating. Fast forward to now, I still don’t know everything about it, but I’m pretty proficient at it. It’s not that it’s difficult but it takes lots of time..
(one would call traktor freak)
