How to use the fx section with 2.2?
Posted on: 06.04.2009 by Doug Nancy
Hi all,

I'm using a VCI-100 SE on a Mac with Traktor Pro and the new 2.2 .tsi. However, I've never used effects that much and now I'd really like to learn.

It's just not that simple. I'm missing a guide or some words to explain what "chained", "advanced", "fx bank", "juggle", "fader fx" and what not means.

How do I use them best? I'm running in to simple problems like one effect affecting both decks when I only want the one of them etc etc.

Anyway, take this as a suggestion to a guide :-) I'd love to hear how all these buttons actually work.

Cheers!

Start Traktor
Open the Manual
Look at the picture of the mapping

Now when you have a question on how something works or what it does, look for information on it in the manual...then 'do' it...watch how Traktor responds to the functions.

The problem isn't 'how to use the fx' for you...it's more of an understanding on how Traktor itself works in conjunction with the controller. If you don't know why efx are affecting both decks at the same time, then you need to rewind and start at square 1!

Try to find the concepts in the Traktor manual, and start trying one by one many times to teach your ears and your fingers to understand them. The worst thing is to hit the perfect button and/or knob "at" and "in time" to make that what you were believeing about...
There's a lot of work to do, like Obama says, but we can 8-)
