Reply to DDM4000 Mapping & Set Up help PLEASE

Hi there,

So I have a djtt vci-100 and I just got a ddm4000 that I want to use with midi as my mixer section (decks 1-4: EQ, gain, cue, and volume fader function) while using the vci as my fx unit and for the jog wheels, cue juggling, and all of Ean's goodies. But I am having a few issues...

FYI For the set up, I have an Edirol FA-66 sound card via firewire, the vci-100 via usb, and the ddm has a midi cable from the midi out of the ddm to the midi in of the FA-66 soundcard. I was told this would work best with guys at guitar center since I already have a good stand alone soundcard, and it should all work this way. Maybe not?

SO, I can't map the ddm4000 or seem to get midi working well, which concerns me since I bought it used so I wanna know what I'm doing wrong or if its busted. I have tried setting it into midi but I don't know if I need to have the channels muted or just selected with the [x] for each channel.

I also can't find a mapping that has this set up already, which would be incredibly appreciated! Using the ddm as the mixer for all 4 decks. I've read some about people using 2 channels with midi and the other 2 for something else. But this is not what I want, I need direct EQ and fader control for all 4 decks in traktor. Otherwise I would just use my vci.

Also, how do I get both mappings going together, as in mapping two controllers, with the vci-100 and the ddm. Whenever I map one, the other gets corrupted and the parameters are mapped to random things. Do I have to separate the channels and if so how? I did it the way the tutorial on here describes with using the large import button for one and the small import from the drop down menu for the second but this hasn't worked. I don't get the midi light coming on but I have had the ddm controlling traktor with my set up, just to random parameters and I can't get it to learn anything. I've mapped things before and fixed glitches on Ean's mapping with my 1.2 firmware so I know how to do it, but I'm definitely a noob. So please, help me out!

Any info or advice or links to a video that explains all my stupid questions is greatly appreciated!
