timecodes and vci100se???

Hey folks

I have a quick question regarding upgrading my setup…

I currently have a macbook, audio dj 2, and vci 100se

I want to have macbook, audio 8 dj, vci 100se, and timecodes (vinyl). IS THIS POSSIBLE?
I want to use the vci 100 as my mixer and have the timecodes instead of my jog wheels…

am i making sense? i hope.

Thanks a bunch.

yeah this is possible. : )

but why using the vci 100 as mixer?

3

yes search for external mixing vs internal mixing, you’re describing a situation where you are mixing internally using the midi controls on the vci-100.

welcome to the forums

u should also get urself a decent mixer (for external mixing) so u can use ur vci as an fx/loop/juggle unit…

i mean… you CAN use the vci as a mixer, but everyone will tell you to go out and buy a nice external mixer. I dont scratch, and cant comment on the xfader on the vci other than the fact that it gets me from track A to B or D nicely.

i think it’s good idea, solves the 4 deck thing in another way.

you have all the mixer controls there, plus deck controls on tt, so the pitch faders of vci could become channel faders for decks c and d.

Yes this is possible. But also remember that you will need a copy of Traktor Scratch Pro…not just TPro. Else you will not have the DVS plugin and you will not be able to use the TCs. I am in the exact same position you are. Except i have the Audio 4. I am not sure the TCs will work via the Audio 2 tho. You can then use the them to control not the jogs. Remember…its a midi controller. You can set its hardware to do what you want. So you could set it to use the jogs for something else.

yeah, He’s gonna grab the audio 8 i believe.

You can definitely do this, and then set your VCI jogs to control something else, like effects

No audio 2 doesnt have line or phono ins

11

just saying :wink:

Ok ok…keep yer knickers on. Lol. My point was…if you gonna get the 8…you might as well go the whole hog. Get the package. Sell the residual gear. :slight_smile: …its late…zzZ

This is exactly what i was about to do. I’m going to get TSP with the audio 8 and my friend is giving me his 1200’s. Probably assign 1 wheel to wet/dry on/off and maybe the other wheel to search files (if that is even possible) i havent messed with that yet.

14

definitely do-able. And keep in mind, each jog wheel has two functions (with the vinyl mode button)

Nothing wrong with using the VCI as a mixer. Problem is, if you are using other gear like external decks, then you suddenly want to use 4 decks. And although I’ve seen the djtechtools mapping, I am not convinced the VCI is a practical 4 deck solution. Maybe 2 decks and 2 sample players…

16

Exactly what i do

Quality. I’m going down the VCI - 2 decks, Nanopad - 2 sample/loop decks road.
