Getting Back in the Mix - Need rec's for VCI100/MacBookPro/Traktor Pro 2

Getting Back in the Mix - Need rec's for VCI100/MacBookPro/Traktor Pro 2 Posted on: 05.08.2012 by Jacqulyn Storino A few years ago (2008) I starting mixing as a hobby, but the last couple years with work etc I have gotten way ouot of practice and my technology is since out of date! I still have my Vestax VCI-100 controller, which I am happy with (although it could use a slight repair for loss of sensitivity in one of the jog platters). So I used to use the Traktor 3LE software that was bundled with the VCI-100 out of the box. I ran it on my Mac PowerBook G4 with OSX 10.4.11. This laptop still had the bus slot for the Indigo Echo sound card. I am looking to upgrade to a Mac Book Pro with OSX 10.7. Still looking to use my VCI-100 with Traktor Pro 2. I read through the DJTT "Soundcards for Under $220" article and it looks like the NI Audio 2 is pretty similar to the Indigo Echo, and it is bundled with Pro 2 software for a reasonable price. This seems like a no brainer for soundcard choice. Will I have any compatibility issues with the VCI-100 and the newer laptop and Pro 2 software? Will I need a special MIDI mapping for the controller? Drivers for the sound card? Any advice or insight would be greatle appreciated!! Thanks everyone!!
Jacqulyn Storino 08.08.2012	Originally Posted by maf940 OK so I believe I've got a handle on all the mapping/firmware stuff. Is there a "standard" VCI-100 FM v.2 mapping for Traktor Pro 2? Will I be able to map the controller as-is to TPro2 and still use the original functionality (as far as function mapping)? If so, how do I do this? OK, so after some internet sleuthing it seems I can download the standard VCI-100 TSI file directly from the Vestax website, which is compatable with TPro2. I assume I use the "BIG IMPORT BUTTON" (i have read the phrase a hundred times on this community while researching, haha). Anything else I should be looking out for or need to do to successfully configure the TSI file?

No need to worry about any drivers w/ that Macbook Pro. ok cool, i'll check those out. i still havent taken advantage of any mappings, with T3LE i just used the standard mapping since all I was really doing was learning how to mix properly. Will I need a Firmware update to use custom mappings?

Addie Engbrecht 09.08.2012	Just a guess, I'm believeing the 3band EQ mapping has the High/Mid/Lo controls in traktor mapped to the High/Mid/Lo knobs on the VCI and the Pan knob is mapped to the Pan knob which is bottom knob and inline w/ the High/Mid/Lo knobs is mapped to the filter, and I'm believeing the 4 band EQ mapping is used if you use the xone 92 type EQ's in traktor, and I'm guessing the Pan knob is used for low EQ in traktor and the other knobs will be mapped to High,Mid High, and Mid Lo EQ controls in Traktor
Jacqulyn Storino 09.08.2012	OK so it appears there are two TSI files on the Vestax Website: 1. VCI-100 TSI for Traktor PRO/PRO2/DUO/DUO2(3band EQ and Filter Type) 2. VCI-100 TSI for Traktor PRO/PRO2/DUO/DUO2(4band EQ Type) anyone know what the difference between these 2 mappings are?

Jacqulyn Storino 05.08.2012	bump! can anyone help answer my above questions? Thx!
Jacqulyn Storino 06.08.2012	I should also ask about firmware for the VCI-100. I'm pretty sure I have 1.2 - but how can I verify this? Will I need to upgrade firmware to 1.3 or 1.4 in order map to TP2?
