Hi,
I am researching the ultimate setup for use with the internal effects in Traktor Pro and external effects units. I play a variety of music, but mostly reggae, dub, hip hop, afro-beat, so like to have a lot of control over eq and fx such as delay and reverb, and my main considerations are as follows:
1. Sound quality
2. Lots of flexibility with effects, including the use of external vintage effects units
3. Syncing digital effects to the BPM
4. Previewing internal and external effects before sending to the master output.
5. Applying effects to specific frequencies, ideally both internal and external effects.
6. Some control of the crossover for EQ/cut out.
As I understand it if I use a controller such as Traktor S8 or Allen & Heath XoneB4 I don't get an FX send/return for using external effects, so would have to just rely on using the master signal, which means less fine control of the external effects, no ability to preview the effects, apply to separate channels, etc (here I am presuming that I can preview internal/external effects before sending to the master output on most dedicated mixers with a FX send/return loop - is this correct?)
If I go for the Allen & Heath Xone:4D I get the FX send/return and midi control of Traktor, but I wonder whether I'd be better off opting for a dedicated mixer with soundcard and a couple of NI controllers, such as the the D2 or X1, to get controllers that are best mapped to Traktor? In terms of a dedicated mixer with soundcard I am interested in the Rane MP2015, expensive though it may be. In terms of controllers, I wouldn't need to use STEMS, but would like to be able to add samples to the mix using the Remix decks - is there much advantage of the D2 controller over the X1 controller for me?
I am wondering how the FX in the XoneB4 compare to the internal effects in Traktor, in terms of quality, BPM sync, etc?
I would be grateful for any advice in getting my ultimate setup together!
Thanks,
Nick
In this example we will be routing the input signal of channel A (Ch A Left and Ch A Right) of the Audio Device (DJ mixer, controller, etc) into the TRAKTOR channel Input FX Send (Ext). If the external audio source is active, the level meters next to the corresponding channel will now show an incoming signal. 3.8.1 Assigning Decks to the FX Units The FX Unit at the top of the D2 controls either FX Unit 1 or FX Unit 2 of the TRAKTOR soft- ware. This depends on the current Deck control:. When the Deck control is currently on Decks A and C, the FX Unit controls FX Unit 1 of the TRAKTOR software.

Installation Instructions:
Once the file has completed downloading, open the “Dubspot_Presents_Koolis_Combos.zip” file to extract the two .tsi files. Then, in Traktor, click “Import” (bottom row in the image above) in the “Preferences” window and navigate to those .tsi files and click “Open.”
Note that you can only have four effects combos live at one time. This means that you can only load in either “Kooli Combos 1.tsi” or “Kooli Combos 2.tsi,” one at a time as each .tsi file contains a full four effects combos.
