    0db on rec gain. Use your track gain and faders to control volume. Rec VU should be going up to, but not lighting up the red. *You should not need any head room as everything is already mastered*. The less post mix faffing around and editing you do the better.

    Chuck, you said ALMOST exactly what I was thinking! Except I was thinking no auto gain is on at all and he needs to manually adjust the gain. 🙂

    I would ask you to post a screen shot please. I have an idea what might be going on but a screen shot would confirm it.

    Line in is expecting a higher voltage eg, cd player. HiZ is for say, a guitar, so that’s no good either.
    So XLR is the go as it is best suited for the job.
    On the receiver you could use unbalanced TR out but you are limited to a 3 meter cable length and the chance of interference. (you can make an unbalanced TR- XLR cable by bridging pins 1 and 3 on the xlr plug). XLR balanced can have huge cable runs and is much less prone to interference.

    Just downloaded cross free. Thats how I want traktor to behave(in auto mix)! First impressions are thatthis is actually not a bad bit of software. Chuck, do you know if it supports the s4 ‘out of the box’? If so I would seriously consider buying the full version.

    So, my business card’s base design is the same as my avatar, but obvioously with my name/ contact details etc. Used vista print to do the cards. I am a mobile DJ and I charge a four hour base rate of $AU450-$AU600 depending on gig and travel/setup time, then $100p/h overtime. I have a couple of regular clients who get a much cheaper rate as they are bread and butter customers and I get tons of work from them plus extra work from handing out cards. I am known to do do charity work too but this is very much seperate from my business and they are well, for known charitys.

    I did not realize that. Learn something new everyday. 🙂 As a personal choice, I would rather Traktor does not send a midi control to itself when cruise mode gets switched off. The current way where all the faders get maxed out is very inconvenient.

    Here is what I want cruise mode to do.
    ‘A’ deck is playing, turn up fader to max. I can live with a maxed out fader. Keeps things easy for software. Then turn on cruise mode. Cruise mode then takes over control of decks A and B with loading tracks and running faders.
    The faders are completely disabled in hardware.
    Cruise mode can only be disabled while deck A is playing.
    When you turn off cruise mode faders default to correspond to their hardware position. (which should be deck A max and the rest minimum).

    Rules of Cruise mode re visited.
    1.Turn up only 1 fader to the max, which will be most current deck playing BEFORE turning cruise mode on (I recommend getting into a routine of making this deck A). Even if you don’t the software fader will max out when you eventually leave cruise modes so you may as well replicate in hardware and compensate with gain and master volume controls at the same time so crowd doesn’t notice.
    2.Only adjust master volume while in cruise mode.
    3.Do not touch ANY faders while in cruise mode.
    4.Turn off cruise mode BEFORE you touch any fader.
    I forgot a rule
    4a.Only ever turn cruise mode off, when the deck *where your mixer fader is up on*(eg deck a) is playing and you are ready to go live from next deck b track.
    5.All deck faders in traktor software WILL MAX OUT when you turn cruise mode off!
    6. If you use a mic on a live deck, make sure it is switched off, or if it doesn’t have a switch, it is unplugged as its software fader will max out when you leave cruise mode possibly sending a huge feedback loop and scaring guests.
