down loaded demo having problems with the fader on a NS6

djincali

Hi, just downloaded the demo for ME, I could not get the fader to work properley using serato dj and a numark NS6. Tried midi mapping the fader and it jumps all over the place. system specs are: 15 in MBP, 16 GB ram, i7 quad core 2.3GHZ, integrated pro iris graphics, dedicated g force 750 video card with 2 GB ram, OSX 10.9.2. If we could fix problem I would definite purchase software. Thank you!

Hi djincali, The best thing to do is to: 1) Open the MIDI mapping panel for the crossfader and delete all the mappings 2) Close the MIDI mapping panel for the crossfader 3) Run Serato DJ The fader should be automatic when Serato DJ is running - there's no need to map the fader at all.

Hi Nick, Thanks for the respons, Just to be clear, I only tried to map the fader because it would not work on it's own, I'll try what you advised and see what happens, and post the results. Thanks again!

Nick

Make sure that you're running the latest version of Serato DJ too - it won't work with pre-1.6 versions.

djincali

Thank you Nick, I was able to get it working with your help. I'll be testing it out, looks very impressive! Thanks again!

Nick

Cool :) Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Nick, Unfortunately I'm still having an issue with the cross fader using the NS6. When I transition from one deck to the other, the transition effect doesn't always cut off when the fader is fully to one side. I could see on the screen the fader doesn't always go fully to the side the track was faded to, and the effect of the transition continues unless I move the fader to the opposite direction and slam it back. It happens most of the time, but not all the time. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Nick

What version of Serato DJ are you using?

djincali

Hi Nick, Running 1.6.2

Nick

Hmm, that's interesting - I'll look into it. For now though, you could go into the Preferences of MixEmergency, to the Transition section, and adjust the "Fader cut-in". Setting it to 5% may be enough.

djincali

Alright, I'll try that, Thanks!

djincali

please forgive my ignorance, but I have no clue on how to access the preferences area? Is there a tutorial video on how to navigate ME? Thanks again!

Nick

It's the same for almost every Mac OS application: go to the menu bar at the top of the screen, select the application name (in this case MixEmergency), and click "Preferences...". Alternatively, you can often push the keyboard short cut Command-, (the Command key and the Comma key).

Thanks Nick, I forgot to mention that I'm new to Mac, I've been a PC user since I've started using computers, and just this month purchased two brand new MBPs, so I'm still learning. I will try what you instructed, Thanks again!

djincali

Hey Nick, I tried changing the settings for the fader cut in time to 5% like you instructed me, the transition effects still don't cut off always when a new track is mixed.

Nick

Bizarre. Perhaps we can get this MIDI mapped manually instead, and bypass whatever Serato DJ is sending. I'll have to look up the correctly MIDI codes for this controller - which I'm not able to do at the moment, as I'm not in the office.

djincali

No worries Nick, Whenever you have a chance. Thanks!

Nick

I haven't been able to find a document that lists the MIDI messages sent by the NS6. Perhaps you can start MixEmergency, open the MIDI window, enable MIDI logging, and move the crossfader from left to right (don't touch anything else). Then, copy and paste the MIDI log into this discussion.

djincali

Ok, when I get back home I will try that, thanks!
