VMS2 issues in Traktor Pro 2

Have you installed the ASIO drivers from the site (PC only) You still need them if you are using Traktor

Hi Tom,
yeah I installed the latest ASIO driver from the AA website aswell as trying ASIO4ALL and the same thing happened with both. Does anyone who of any VMS2 mappings other than the two available from Amerian Audio's website?

have you checked that you're in external mixing mode in traktor (it's in traktor's preferences).

Hi Freshfluke, yes it was definately switched to external mix mode. I've uninstalled everything, software, drivers and gonna start from scratch.
I'll let you know how I get on!

Re-installed everything but still the same issue! I can work with it, it's just a bit annoying that the EQ and gain on deck B also work the EQ and gain on deck A!
If someone can find or write a new mapping for the VMS2 please let me know,
Cheers

i doubt that it's the mapping. sounds more like a routing issue. please upload some screenshots of the regarding traktor preferences and the vms asio panel.

Ok here is a link to screenshots of all the settings

i dont have a vms2 handy unfortunately.

the preferences look absolutely ok, the audio settings/routing looks good and also the part of the mapping shows nothing that hints to the issue.

however, the symptom you describe is typical for the wrong mixer setting. so just for completion, what happens if you put the vms2 into internal mixing mode? i always was under the impression that the vms2 has to be in external mixing mode too, like the vms4, but maybe i'm wrong.

if the issue then still persists, please contact the ADJ support on this.

hello again Freshfluke,
I tried changing the mixing mode but nothing changed! Deck B's EQ and gain still control Deck A but I can readjust Deck A using it's own EQ and gain after it's been altered by Deck B. A bit annoying but useable!
Thanks for the advice.

Perdona mi ingles, soy español. Traduzco con google.

Si todavia persiste el problema prueba a cambiar el modo de comunicacion de los knobs, ajusta en relativo en lugar de direct y ajusta hasta que el tacto y el recorrido sean de tu gusto, tambien añade un modificador diferente para los controles de cada deck. Puedes asignar dos botones que no utilices o que siempre esten activos o incluso un estado, por ejemplo funcionar solo si el deck está reproduciendo.

Esto soluciono un problema muy similar en una controladora de otra marca, quiza te sirva.

Buena suerte


Forgive my English, I'm Spanish. Translate with Google.

If the problem still persists try changing the mode of communication of the knobs, set in relative rather than direct and adjusted until the feel and the tour are on your taste, it also adds a different switch controls for each deck. You can assign two buttons that do not use or will be always active or even a state, such work only if the deck is playing.

This solved a similar problem a controller of another brand, maybe you serve.

good luck

might be handy bendy

Thanks for the help everyone!
Think I've solved it though and it was something really simple! I the preferences under Audio Setup
it asks for the asio device I tried a few (asio4All and ADJ asio) stuck with ADJ asio. Then it asked for built-in soundcard, naturally I assumed this was gonna be the soundcard in the VMS2 so I chose that. That's when I was having problems with deck B knobs also controlling deck A knobs. Just out of curiousity I changed the setting on built-in soundcard to ADJ Asio and HEY PRESTO! everything is working perfectly (except the pause buttons don't work or illuminate but the tracks can be paused by pressing play again!)
So now I'm a happy DJ! You can listen to some of my recent mixes here http://www.mixcloud.com/richsynfam/
give them a listen and le me know what you think.

Help! So, this is an old thread, but it describes exactly what I am experiencing now with Traktor 2.5 an my VMS2. Everything seems to be working okay except for the right EQ knobs which turn both EQs, right and left. I tried the solution in this thread to no avail... I've been told by customer service there is not a more current firmware than what my unit has (I believe 2.5)... so what am I doing wrong here?

...So I solved the issue of right EQ turning the left ones as well by setting my MIDI Ins and Outs to the VMS2. However, now the volume fader on Deck A is acting as a master and the crossfader 100% to the right acts as a total kill. It's like, almost set up right.. but off just enough to be annoying. Any ideas?

are you sure you're in "external mixing mode" in traktor?

please attach the respective screenshots of your traktor preferences.

Actually, setting Traktor's mode to 'External' causes the Deck B sound to drop out completely.

Here's a video I made of what's going on, and some screenshots of my preferences.

a)
you're not in external mixing mode

b)
the output routing makes no sense

c)
in audio setup, what options do you have? you should usually see sth like "ADJ ASIO" or similar.
