Correct, I want to be able to slam my fader to the top of the hardware, but have the software stop the bass eq from going past 0db.
The default way Traktor works is to assign the full range of the bass eq aka “Low Adjust” to the full range of the hardware - which is of course -6db to +6db. Thus as you say, making 0db right smack in the middle of the fader. To me this is awkward and not performance oriented. I prefer to use a fader for the bass eq and not a knob, because its more fun!
I am used to mapping in Ableton, where you can easily set a min/max range value for the parameters you are assigning.
I don’t see any obvious way to do this in Traktor, though I feel there must be a way somehow… hopefully!
Can’t remember if you can do it in Traktor internally (don’t have it near me atm) but if you are working in MIDI mode you can do it with the Controller Editor (the external application, not Traktor’s mapping window) and tell that knob/fader only to send 0-64 values.
Actually I have seen this request before on this forum and trick would be to map “Low adjust” and set knob to be relative. That way you can decrease sensitivity to fit your fader’s accuracy.
