Ive thought about just selling it and work on building my own controller.. Who knows though |

| Abram Chapo 05.03.2013 | Has anybody done this with the DB4 using Midi (taken from another community
): I am mapping via midi to act like "the bridge" and record mixer automation.*My solution to my original post. Set channels 1-4 at, say, 0db and keep them fixed. Then midi map DJ equivalent midi controls to channels 5-8.*At the end of the mix...*Ext in 1&2 records the live "as is" mix (audio DB4)*Tracks 1-4 record clip firing (done from my monome)*Tracks 5-8 capture all mixer automation, fader, Gain Hi, Med, low etc etc. I then combine tracks 1&5, 2&6, 3&7 and 5&8. I now have the full mix to edit in arrangement view.*I am new to the arrangement view, so this is a great opportunity for me to gain experience with post production and any editing. |

| Abram Chapo 04.03.2013 | Ooohhh i don't know! So hard to decide on how to go. I was looking at stopping using Traktor and then sticking with live and using the new Decadance (when it arrives). Just love the control Live offers and was believeing DB4 to control Live and i will then have a mixer to switch to analogue when playing with Vinyl. Anybody else suffering with this sort of decision? |
