Traktor // Presonus Firebox // VCI-100 // iTunes

**goldith** · 08-26-2009, 01:59 PM

Here's what I want to do:

Traktor Pro using VCI-100 controls, output to a club mixer (at venue) using Firebox.

I can't get it to work and the Presonus is sounding really bright (treble) - more than usual.

I saw the "how-to" on the forum, but the Firebox Control panel doesn't even look the same as the screen shot that is posted. Also, is there a way to have iTunes play on one of the channels or is that out of the question?

HELP PLEASE.

HELP PLEASE.

Send me a screenshot of your firebox mixer settings and traktor pro soundcard settings (input and ouput), and the info where what is connected to the firebox (speakers or amp or whatever).
Then I can help you.

I'm using a vci-100, traktor pro and the presonus firebox.

THANKS!
Here are screen shots of what the options are on my screen, also attached a photo of the cables I am using - the cables might be a problem too because I have a hard time hearing in stereo without switching up the cables to some weird combination that makes no sense.

I would like to know how I can set up with both internal mixer and external - if i go external, then I can't use the ProX Fade that I installed the way I want to.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Please note - the setup I am needing help with is for MAC platform.

Hi there,

the way your mixer is setup go for these Traktor Pro settings and report back.

external (output)

Output Monitor
L 3:Lineout 3L
R 4:Lineout 4R

Output Master
L 1:Mainout 1L
R 2:Mainout 2R

If that doesn't work I can post my complete settings, which you can then try out for yourself and if they solve the problem work towards your own setup.

Leon, I will definitely try this tonight. Will this allow me to use the VCI mixer controls?

Thank you so much for your time.

Oh yeah,

I noticed you have the settings set to external mixing.
In addition to the settings I already mentioned you also have to set:

Output Routing

Mixing mode:
internal

Greetings and good luck

Hi Leon,
Everything seems to be well except for one thing - the headphone cueing...
the headphone cue buttons (on the VCI-100 SE) as well as the fade (master & program volumes) & level knobs, when pressed or turned, the levels are affected on the main output into the mixer.

does that makes sense? i wish you were here.
