I am pleased to announce I have fixed a small but very useful feature that slowed me down from learning Traktor… Basically Traktor’s new 2.6.1 manual was not searchable in Adobe and I’ve been waiting too long for Native Instruments to fix it so I found a workaround…
Long story short, this should help alot of fellow Traktor users in speeding up they’re learning process by searching directly for the answers in the PDF.
Definitely an unappreciated feature I didn’t realize how important the search function was… I actually use it in all my daily research – Internet, Documents, Finder, etc…

In this edition of Beyond Basics Tech Tips, I do a live demo of using iTeleport (iPhone app) to control the DJ set wirelessly away from the set at the bar… Helpful for DJs when you need to be away from the set, like going to the bathroom, chilling at the bar, not having to rush back to switch the song…
Here’s an oldie but goodie video rocking the hybrid set up w/ my old MPC1000 as a Midi controller to control Ableton’s Looper… I’m posting this cause I’m about to display the new & improved hybrid setup soon!

Some basic tips I found that not all DJs who own the TTM57SL know that you can customize the 1st 5 groups of the mixer to what ever you like. Leaving group 6 defaulted to the built in effects. I share my custom mappings and why I choose them.
I also show a quick tip on how to stay in one group and launch the popular “Echo” effect by using your Flex FX buttons.
I’m interested to see what other DJs map their mixers for… Please share your tips, add comments, Like & Subscribe!

Another Beyond Basics Tutorial for you Hackers!
Qfo Vestax Tonearm Hack w/ Toothpicks, tape & rubberband.
A.S.T.S.（US patented）
Vestax’s original Anti Skipping Tone-arm System ensures high sound quality and stable playback by reducing the inner and outer force of the needle, suppressing horizontal vibrations. The entire system, from bearing parts to assembly, is performed by seasoned Japanese pros, which is why the A.S.T.S. tone arm is appraised world wide for its quality.
In this tutorial, I show you how to sample into Native Instruments Maschine w/o having to buy or connect an external sound card. Alot of videos on youtube show you how to sample into Maschine, but they don’t tell you that they’re using an external sound card. This will show you how to sample w/ just your Mac & Maschine…
