ParticipantWhat plays I get tend to come from having a lot of other creative types in my network. I check out their stuff, they check out mine, though in terms of gigs, it has so far only resulted in one. That said, networking is still the key to getting people to check out your stuff.

ParticipantSince I’m using Traktor, I’m using the other 2 as remix decks.

ParticipantIn Traktor, I basically set one of the modifiers to be whether the decks are set to Upper or Lower. I use shift plus Up or Down arrow to switch between the two decks (and I also change the zoom level of the decks so that it shrinks the decks that aren’t being controlled). From there, I think duplicate every single mapping so that, if the modifier is set to Upper, then it affects the upper decks, if set to Lower then it affects the lower decks. It’s pretty straightforward from a technical perspective, just a lot of work to go through almost every single mapping to do it.
I found that VDJ had the appearance of greater flexibility, but when I started to dig into it, I found that it was too abstract – I didn’t have fine enough control over what I was mapping, which I didn’t care for.

ParticipantI’ve partially implemented something like this with Traktor on my Instinct. It’s an involved process when the controller doesn’t have it built in, but it can be done with Traktor.
As for VDJ, I can’t say for sure there, as I found VDJ mapping to be less clear, but I would suspect it should be possible.

ParticipantHowdy, Travis, welcome!

ParticipantHowdy, Vinny!

ParticipantThough Ghetto Funk can be a bit high-energy inasmuch as it does cause some ear fatigue.

ParticipantI gave it a listen… it was a pretty smooth sounding set, it’s not a style I know intimately, so I didn’t know the individual tracks well enough to differentiate them by fore-knowledge, and I did not notice any of the transitions, so I would say it flowed well.

ParticipantAdded to next in my Mixcloud queue, will give it a listen right after Hong Kong Ping Pong.

ParticipantI took one semester of Music Theory, but other than that am self taught. There is a LOT to learn, but after a few decades, I’m starting to feel pretty confident. heh

ParticipantIt sounds to me like you’ve got your sync set to… ehrm… I wanna say beat. One of the sync settings in Traktor’s setup will always return your phase to sync, the other is called tempo (I think) and it will only sync the tempo but allow it to get out of phase.
I could be wrong, though, since it sounds like you are manually beatmatching, but that’s what the behavior sounds like to me.
