Who misses the possibility to use one effect over different channels on there DB4 ? I believe the title says it all. Just out of curiousity. I have no experience with effects at all and was believeing about emulating the DB4 in ableton as an external mixer for traktor, but then the above question came to my mind. |

But then I started believeing : what if I wanna use the same effect on two channels at the same time ? Or is that something that no one really does and effects are best aplied only at one channel at once. I guess most of the time this is the case right ? But wouldn't be a reverb across to channels be nice and then cut one of the decks of to make a nice transition.
Maybe I'm missing something but I have Traktor, I use 2 FX banks, if I want the same FX on Deck A and Deck B at the same time I turn on FX1 on both decks....I use reverbs and cut the low and echo out to transition all the time...am I missing something??? |

if you want to apply FX to multiple channels then group them and put fx on the group or throw FX on a return channel and use sends |
