Xone DX with Ableton Live 8

Post by Cid K » Thu Apr 22, 2010 1:46 pm

Id like to setup my Xone DX to work with Ableton Live.

Am able to map the Channel Fader and EQ's, but dont know how to make them sound like on a REAL Mixer.

What i mean is this, if i put a 3 band EQ and map the knobs for Bass, Treble and Highs, when i go at minimum there's no sound witch is good, but if i go 12 oclock it goes minus 3db. I need to turn the knob at 3oclock for it to be the normal 12oclock.

I can't figure out how to map the Jog Weel for it to nudge the playing track, cant figure out how to map the Scroll Knob for Library viewing so that i can go from folder to folder.

I don't know how to map the led's... Volume Meter, Cue's button ect.


Can anyone help me out or point me in the good direction.

Thanks very much.

Do a search for Tarekiths racks, he has the answer you're looking for!! (other racks maybe be available, your home is at risk should you not keep up with repayments)

English humour, our national TV cannot advertise so any mention of a particular brand has to followed by caveats....

My apologies...

The Rack is nice, but i still dont know how to map led's...

How to map other functions, like to go to the browser with the scroll knob.

I have little to none experience with creating mappers...

Id really like some help around here...

Cheers

I really didn't like the sound of the dx with Traktor. The frequencies of there EQ's are really far off what they should be.
So I mapped the EQ and faders with Ableton what is really strait forward. All the rest is still happening in Traktor.
This way I also get the EQ lights from Traktor. I really like the setup now and think it sounds great.

Give it a try ;-)
