    DJ & VJ Simultaneously on same MBP - M8 & Traktor

    by VJnutcracker » Mon Apr 02, 2007 1:12 pm

    Has anyone had a go at using M8 & dj software at the same time, i sometimes get asked to DJ at events i'm vjing at, ideally i'd like to use Traktor and M8.

    My rig is a 2.33ghz MBP, Codanova VMX VJ midi board, Edirol FA101 Firewire audio interface.

    Any gig experiences, glitches, crashes?

    I'm thinking of doing the same using Ableton Live but i would imagine its going to be safer having a separate machine for VJing, as my ableton sets are pretty large.

    I just practiced for four hours projecting clips on
    Modul8 and mixing songs on Traktor 3. I was using my 2 GHZ macbookpro, projecting thru DVI on an HD projector and using the eigth inch jck out for sound. I experienced only minor glitches due to the fact that I was using mpeg videos with sound output while playing songs in Traktor. When I used .mov clips I had no problems. And I was using big video clips 5 minutes plus. Go for it.

    are you sending midi from Traktor to Modul8? I have been trying this with Ableton LIVE and the timings are a little stuttery in Modul8s response to IAC midi notes sent...

    yeah, I did it once with modul8 and traktor.
    I had to keep switching between each program with apple+tab because I was just using my keyboard, but I can report no big performance problems, as long as you've got the ub traktor. Although I still haven't figured out how to sync both, I figure since traktor has a send midi clock option, and modul8 has a receive, it should be possible, but I don't know how.
    How is your audio interface anyway?
    I'm looking for one at the moment.

    The edirol fa-101 is prety good, although i havent tried any multitrack recording yet, i've got a live gig coming up where i'll record 8 tracks from the desk bus.


    If you're considering buying one pm me, i put a bid on one on ebay not thinking i'd win, then bought a brand new one, but i did win the auction so i have a spare, as new in the box if you want to make me an offer before i put it on ebay
