a Vestax VCI400 - and Scratch pro plea for help!
a Vestax VCI400 - and Scratch pro plea for help! Posted on: 20.10.2012 by Zofia Cheuk after years of denial - and deciding the cost of CD decks was too much - i finally bought into the digital music thing. but i'm struggling.I love my vinyl and wanted an all in one solution. something that would allow me to connect my analog decks but also give me the ability to mix digital music. So i got the Vestax VCI 400. it worked fine with some really basic software - Algoriddim's djay. But clearly it isn't where I need to be.. The thing is - i'm lost with Traktor Scratch Pro. The wizard didn't even give me the VCI400 in the drop down menu...Am wondering whether I'm down a blind alley. any help would be much appreciated Alex | |

| Zofia Cheuk 22.10.2012 | ah - thanks. i'll work it out i'm sure. I had terrible trouble trying to get it activated. the support at Native told me how to solve the problem. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 21.10.2012 | And btw you can't link photos from your PC, they need either to be attached to the post or uploaded to an external image server like imgur. |
| Zofia Cheuk 21.10.2012 | i hear that. its a legit copy. i'm one of these mugs who's paid for all his music and gear all his life - hence the delay in getting digital. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 21.10.2012 | Not trying to be a dick about it, but 9 times out of 10 when someone has scratch pro without a certified NI audio interface it's because they've pirated the software, and we don't support that here. |
| Zofia Cheuk 21.10.2012 | no. but since my post last evening i've been in the service centre and seen there are a few files i'm able to download. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 21.10.2012 | Ok. So you pirated it, right? |
| Zofia Cheuk 21.10.2012 | looks like it to me |
| Tatum Ansaldo 21.10.2012 | Are you sure you have Traktor SCRATCH Pro? |

| Tatum Ansaldo 20.10.2012 | Welcome to the community
. If you want to get into Traktor, the best thing to do by far is to read the manual from cover to cover then buy the Traktor bible and do the same thing. There are many small features which it's just easier to discover on your own than for someone to try and take you through them on a web community . Play with it, and when you get stuck and the manual and bible don't help you, ask here. Not trying to be unhelpful, i hope you understand. By the way, since you say you have traktor scratch pro, did you get that with an external audio interface for timecode control? |
