Eans ‘Freeze Trick’ or how do i make super knobs work?
Hi all,
another query in my mapping quest,
Basically, the super knob is not working!
ive mapped all the functions i thought were necessary to load a delay into an advanced effect in unit 1
(units 1 + 2 as chained effects is my default live setup) but when i turn the assigned knob, nothing happens!?
super knob all working!
thank you!
Do you have the oxygen 8? if so u have to be sure that the channel is the same on the keybord and in the mapping section. I’ve made the knob on my oxygen and it works fine.
You have to map 7 things to the knob:
fx panel mode
effect select
effect on
dry/wet advanced
effect param 1
effect param 2
effect param 3
the effect param have to be set on o.600 , 0.500 and 0.500
Hope it was helpfull
Søren
its a edirol pcr-30, channels and cc numbers are both matching,
ok kl, think i may just not have mapped all the attributes i needed to,
thanks! will try it and get back to you when it works,
Tricks like Ean’s “Freeze”
When I saw Ean’s Freeze Trick tutorial I realized how much I didn’t know about effect tricks like this. I searched the forums and wasn’t able to find anything else similar (feel free to link if there is and I missed it 
.
Basically I’ve realized that I know nothing about using the effects of traktor and would like to learn. Besides tinkering around myself I figured this would be the best place to start. One technique thing that stands out in my mind is from Guetta’s live performance at Love Parade 2008,
around 1:10-1:50 he does something that I personally really like, but I’m not sure at all how to go about it in Traktor lol
Things like these little techniques are awesome in my eyes (or ears 
) and I would like to learn more, so any help from you guys would be really appreciated be it link to tutorials, or personal little effect tips and techniques.
Thanks a lot DJTT crew
i think a dedicated section for tricks (just tricks, not tips) would be really cool. i always enjoy the posts that show unusual ways of using Traktor, it’s one of the more intriguing things about controllerism as it’s such a new medium with users making new discoveries and innovations with it all the time.
in response to that video…
turn snap off, hit loop in then loop out really quickly.
the rest of it is just playing with the filter knob
to get back into the main tune, have a cue point set and ready at the next vocal entrance, then use a hotcue button to jump there
Not too tricky
A personal favorite of mine is using the beatmasher on a chained fx to record a drum loop, then set the amount to slightly less than 50 - it retriggers the loop in a latin style 3+3+2. Or use gater+beatmasher to record some scratching on top of one track, then cut that track out for 4 beats while the sampled scratch plays and then slam in a new track on top (which automatically syncs).
Thanks n2hf1st I’ll be trying that out later tonight, hopefully I’ll be able to do something similar.
Interesting idea with the beatmasher, thanks
Keep them coming
I like to do something similar to Ean’s freeze effect, but it’s more a kind of gater/glitch effect.
use the delay t3 in advanced mode. set first two parameters to half, and the rate to either 11 o clock or 1 o clock, and make sure freeze is on. turn it on for a bar or two and turn it off on the beat.
I think a an effects thread would be an extremely helpful thing to have. There are a lot of basic effects that are easy to do on a DJM that would be nice to replicate within traktor (or at least I think there they are easy effect tricks, I have never used one). For instance I am still working on working on turning a single button into a gated loop that acts more like a controllable synthesizer.
I think a video or a sound clip to demonstrate each effect would also be helpful.
I second a tricks section!
+1 on Effects tricks&tips section, even though just a sticky thread would be enough.
this is the first time ive done any real advanced mapping, so please bear with me here haha.
how do you set the effect select to choose a certain effect?
EDIT: lol i feel foolish, disregard untill i make another dumb post haha!
well i feel that a thread is a nice way to get some ideas out .. but the best would be to have some dedicated page for each trick in the end, ideally with some screenshots/videos to explain the idea and maybe even a tsi with a sample mapping that could aid.
so maybe the best approach would be to have a subforum for such tricks. all threads that have gotten to the above maturity level should ensure that the OP is in mint condition with the above information and the thread topic is prefix with “Howto: [insert fancy name for the trick] ([list of effects used])”.
+1 on that..
Yes! We need either a sticky or a subforum on tricks. This is some of the stuff I want to learn.
On anothe note, what’s up with Djtechtools?! A buy/sell/trade subforum was also requested a while ago and we still don’t have it. From my experience with running forums it’s super easy to add one and can be done in minutes.
yep.. i suggested more subs a month and a half ago, the thread just died silently..
Remember, commands are executed in the order that they appear in the list.
DO NOT SORT THE LIST!
I know the discussion on subforums usually ends with less is more. As the attached thread shows I kinda disagree, but I ain’t in charge, so, yeah.
We’re still trying to work out the best way to add forums and keep it from getting overwhelming. Changes will be made, don’t worry about that.
~merged the threads, no need to have two or more threads about Ean’s freeze trick if you ask me.

Sorting the list certainly skrews things up when it comes to seeing whats going on, but i have not had any problems when i accidently sorted the list and tried to use my order sensitive commands. I think the most important thing is the order that they were created in the first place.
This should be put under some testing for sure though, i was actually having a conversation with Ean about just this while we were in Bali.
