Your favorite use of Traktor Pro effects?
I’ve realized I only use about 10% of the available effects and probably half of that number effectively.
While I love using Ean’s mapping with the Fader FX for buildups (Beatmasher + Delay), I find myself using the advanced Delay and Freeze more often.
What are some of your favorites, for whatever reasons?
Advanced delay for tempo changes has been fantastic … I don’t play anything with hugely long intros or breakdowns so some of the others leave me a little dead.
Keeping the wet/dry around 50% or less and sparingly depending on how many drinks i’ve had:
Gater: on x/y pad to spontaneously chop up some flowing synth to enhance its melody, or similiar to delay send the buildup haywire just before the drop.
Flanger: crank a 4 beat burst before a bassdrop (trance)
Delay: to acheive a drumroll effect or send an existing drumroll effect into overdrive (freeze for 4 beats then restore for a nice little cut in energy and a hard hit)
Reverb: make the breakdown melodies echo or make a vocal sound a bit more epic.
Mulholland drive: for that rare electric guitar solo in trance to make it sound a bit distorted and grungy.
Thats all I really use, started to play with the beatmasher a bit which is fun, I tend to just use the High/Low pass deck filters instead of the other filters now and I use them in combination with the above effects.
I am into jamming 2 Psy trax together and using the Beatmasher on the non dominant one.
Makes for cool pseudo leads etc.
-beatmasher for altering beats slightly
-delay for an echo effect, using freeze and the FRR button is pretty cool
-flanger and phaser for build ups
-gater to cut out things I dont want to hear when mixing two tracks
Gater, reverb and reverse grain chained in the first slot + delay T3 in advanced are my bread & butter
When people are saying freeze im totally lost lol… Is this just an effect someones renamed on TSP or is it a totally different program because i cant find any effect called freeze 
Anyways 
i use
*Beatmasher (Probably the most used in my arsenal of effects haha)
*Gater(Helping to transition or add that little extra something especially good for build ups!)
*Flanger(Can be very helpful on build ups “Sometimes” haha)
*Turntable effect (you can actually do some cool things with that hehe 
)
Chained FX: Beatslicer+Delay on my Nanopad x/y with Iceverb on an encoder on the VCI-100
Beatmasher+Gater on the x/y with Mulholland drive on the VCI
I’d use the delay and reverb freeze if i could come up with a better mapping for them on the otus.
otherwise, i like the gate and tpro delay in various saturations add some nice texture when i’m blending in a bare synth lead or hi hat. i also like using these to disguise well-known melodies before blending into their recognizable songs.
a looooong phaser is also quite nice at low saturations over passages without any drums.
i’m going to experiment more, but there are a handful of effects which i cannot sympathise with at any wet/dry amount. the flanger comes to mind, but i remember also removing about two-thirds of the effects from my drop down lists.
i also haven’t touched the beatmasher in well over a year.
