Traktor // Presonus Firebox // VCI-100 // iTunes
Traktor // Presonus Firebox // VCI-100 // iTunes Posted on: 26.08.2009 by Blossom Patacsil Here's what I want to do:Traktor Pro using VCI-100 controls, output to a club mixer (at venue) using Firebox. I can't get it to work and the Presonus is sounding really bright (treble) - more than usual. I saw the "how-to" on the community , but the Firebox Control panel doesn't even look the same as the screen shot that is posted. Also, is there a way to have iTunes play on one of the channels or is that out of the question? HELP PLEASE. | |

PS: I can't send you my settings until the weekend but I believe the posted should solve your problems. |

I would like to know how I can set up with both internal mixer and external - if i go external, then I can't use the ProX Fade that I installed the way I want to. Thank you in advance for your help. |

| Laquita Coduto 03.09.2009 | This is how I have to set the firebox mixer for iTunes to work. |
| Laquita Coduto 03.09.2009 | The first pic is my firebox mixer settings when I use Traktor Pro The next pic is my settings for traktor pro when I mix internal. I haven't mixed externally as of yet. These settings seem to only work in Tpro. When I use iTunes I have to switch the settings in the firebox mixer. I hope this helps you, and if you find out how to make traktor and iTunes work together please let me know. |
| Laquita Coduto 03.09.2009 | Gimme a sec to get my screen shots, I will see if I can help you out. |
| Blossom Patacsil 03.09.2009 | something is backwards. maybe you should send me your screen shots if you don't mind. |
| Blossom Patacsil 03.09.2009 | Hi Leon, Everything seems to be well except for one thing - the headphone cueing... the headphone cue buttons (on the VCI-100 SE) as well as the fade (master & program volumes) & level knobs, when pressed or turned, the levels are affected on the main output into the mixer. does that makes sense? i wish you were here. |
| Earnest Spink 03.09.2009 | Oh yeah, I noticed you have the settings set to external mixing. In addition to the settings I already mentioned you also have to set: Output Routing Mixing mode: internal Greetings and good luck |
| Blossom Patacsil 03.09.2009 | Leon, I will definitely try this toevening
. Will this allow me to use the VCI mixer controls? Thank you so much for your time. |
| Earnest Spink 03.09.2009 | Hi there, the way your mixer is setup go for these Traktor Pro settings and report back. external (output) Output Monitor L 3:Lineout 3L R 4:Lineout 4R Output Master L 1:Mainout 1L R 2:Mainout 2R If that doesn't work I can post my complete settings, which you can then try out for yourself and if they solve the problem work towards your own setup. |
| Blossom Patacsil 02.09.2009 | Please note - the setup I am needing help with is for MAC platform. |
