Mapping Headphone Cueing

Marty F · 2024-03-19T10:20:44+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

My headphone cueing used to work on my X1 via, the 4th button and knob for volume. It stopped and in my wisdom I thought I could find it and Map it myself ? It wasn't so and was getting odd responses or nothing in my headphones.

Can anyone tell me how or what is the Mapping procedure ? Have mailed Native Instruments regarding and sent a Support Tool but ? They must be so busy and received nothing back at the moment. Can anyone advise the procedures needed also ? The bottom 2 knobs on my on screen mixer in Traktor Pro used to have Volume knobs which, have now turned to Pan ? I have know idea how to get my Volume buttons to appear on the Mixer screen ?

Can anyone help me please, it is making my DJ'ing so frustrating ? Thanks for any help with this matter anyone,

Martin

There is no monitor volume per deck.

Just to get the terminology right: In a previous version you where able to control the deck volume (Not cue volume) while being in external mixing mode.

And I assume you then cue that deck on the DJM, and it kinda felt like cue volume :D There never was a per deck cue volume.

In theory you where able to turn down a deck in traktor, while having the faders all the way up on the external mixing mode. Which could result in unexpected behavior and thus was removed.

You can roll back to a previous version by looking into your backup folder that Traktor should have made for you.

There are no Cue Mix or Cue Volume controls for the X1MK3 out of the box. Good to know that we discussed something completely different in the last posts.

But,

the DJ DJM-250MK2 provides everything you need to listen to your mixer channels, including Cue Mix and Cue Volume, right?

I am heavily disabled and found using the Knobs on the X1MK3 really easy to use, never mind. If I can find out how to downgrade tomorrow I will.

Thanks for trying to help anyway 👊

It sounds like you want to switch to Internal mixing mode and completely bypass your external Pioneer mixer.

No I, wanted to be able to use the 4th knob on my X1 mk 3 to control Cueing Volume. I wanted to kee my settings as normal but be able to use this function. Apparently its only available if I downgrade to the previous version of Traktor Pro I had.

What sort of unexpected behaviour could i expect ?

Marty F

No Lord, I was able to control the Cue volume

Out of the box (no custom overmapping, no mods) this is impossible. As @lord-carlos wrote above: you were able to control Deck-Volume, not Cue Monitor (headphone) Volume. If your headphone really changed in levels, then only indirectly, because your Cue Mix was set to listen to Main Output and changing Deck-Volume therefore (in two steps) also changed your headphone levels.

This is my technical assessment and i in no way doubt what you experienced. Only your conclusions of what actually happened may be wrong.

Also: Downgrading will not help you get Cue Monitor Volume on the knobs.

Here is the Traktor way of using the Cue Monitor (and an explanation what it actually is):

https://www.native-instruments.com/ni-tech-manuals/traktor-pro-manual/en/advanced-usage-tutorials.html#using-the-cue-channel-for-mixing

Recommendation 1: Use the Pioneer to connect your headphones and prelisten your track by assigning a channel to the Cue Monitor pathway the hardware provides.

Recommendation 2: Overmap the Knobs to Cue Monitor controls; one for Cue Mix, the other for Cue Volume. You won't get screen feedback on the X1, but it should still work. The link above will provide the details you need to know to get the Traktor GUI show you the software states of the controls.

There never ever was a per deck cue volume.

And with external mixing mode there would also be no cue volume of any kind. As Traktor would not know what track is previewed. With external mixing mode, when you press CUE on the DJM, traktor does not know about it.

So, @Marty F : Any news on your Cue Monitor project?

im having the same problem,i have m-audio trigger finger that i midi mapped for traktor and all works great,but recently i bought y CDJ200 and im mixin in Live input mode now, using the mixer and fx from tratktor im also using Traktor Audio 6 sound card, and even though i have mapped preview CUE deck 1 and 2 i cant get the volume out for pre cueing a track on my CDJ.
