How to approach a Hybrid DJ / Modular Synth Live Set Up

[@NueNueKiro]

For anyone asking how he synced TR8 with the songs, Traktor has a unique feature that allows you to send MIDI clock either via classic 5 pin or via USB and also offset the clock so it perfectly matches the grid of the tracks. Check this tutorial out for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaHKpYx8oZd2f6M PS: I'm not affiliated with DJTT in any way shape or form, just wanted to get the info out there

The discussion about the Allen & Heath V6 mixer is spot on. It is the greatest mixer Allen & Heath ever engineered. I am not one for rotary mixers. However, without question, it is the warmest mixer I've ever heard. The Xone-92, Xone-96, or Model-1 do not even come close to the warmth of the V6. The V6 has been discounted for some time. They now run up to $20,000 on the used market.

[@MajorPatchouli]

Liam, is it safe even though the TR 8S has more functions therefore being less tidy than using a TR 8 for performance, that it is still quite excellent for performance and ultimately not “menu divey” ? Seems like here for Mateo’s purpose and intention that he doesn’t need to get the 8S, but with that said the TS seems to still be quite a great performance tool, unless I’m missing something. Lastly, much respect to Mateo Murphy and yourself for getting him on here. He’s quite a prolific artist. I’ve know of his music since his earliest releases and it’s very cool to see him on here and still rockin!

[@LiamKillen]

I would say that it's more or less just as tidey if you've got your settings dialed in to begin with. I also think that it's worth the extra price because it has soooo many other great features that the TR-8 doesn't have.

It is intriguing, and it inspires me to try something new. My problem is a simple one. I'm DJing with vinyl only (cause I'm to lazy and stupid to learn controller DJing). Old fart problem, I know. All I think about is how to sync a groovebox or drumcomputer with my setup? And no, I don't want to start a vinyl vs. digital discussion...

What we used to do in the pre-traktor days: start with the drum machine and beat match the records to it!

@@MrWassollich An Electribe ER-1, yeah. Keeping everything in sync was a pain but it's not much different than mixing on 3 decks, which is something a lot of us were doing back in the day (not always successfully!)

[@shogunai]

I need to hear this side by side with the Xone 96. At the end of the day they are both insanely powerful mixers built by Allen & Heath, but I tend toward the 96 for hybrid setups. It completely removes the need for an external soundcard compared to this. Particularly when you are a Traktor guy, this is a massive deal... And while the EQ section of the Model 1 is more creative and expressive, its not THAT much more so than the 96. Especially with the crunch and resonance circuitry on the 96 filters, and 4 band EQ. And the 96 has a dedicated master instert bus for compression etc at the same time as techincally being able to run an insane amount of FX sends at one time if you get creative with switching between analogue & digital busses. You can literally run 2 outboard pedals, 2 busses that send to a DAW like ableton to use FX there over USB, and then run 2 further dedicated analogue parallel chains for distortion and compression to blend with the masterbus. Or any one of hundreds of combinations therewithin. It's a ridiculously powerful design, with the way they have incorporated 2 soundcards into one machine along with a serious analogue matrix. The soundcards are fully studio quality too, as opposed to the trash Pioneer use. And finally, you get channel faders and an innofader crossfader that feel like a proper DJ mixer for the 4 main channels... Far better for DJing than these horrid things on the Model 1 (and admittedly the return channels on the Xone). Those things are generally found on cheap, small format mixers from Mackie etc. Overall though, I just can't imagine it sounds THAT much better to justify the price compared to the insane functionality you get with a Xone 96 for less money. On YT at least, they both sound beautiful, and equally so as far as I can tell. So in almost every other respect, the 96 leaves the Model's in the dust tbh.

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah it's like very specific tech stuff - it's really just a matter of preference at a certain point. Or like what you started with / are used to.

I'm actually still not super clear on this either and am considering doing a video with Mateo about it in the future sometime

[@chrisfjonesutube]

The "CUE B" output can only be accessed via the DSUB-in from the mixer. Since he has a DSUB input on his modular (via the nw2s::io), he's able to pull that CUE B and process it. He then routes it through distortion and a filter and then back out to CHANNEL 2 on the Model 1.4 Some notes about CUE B: 1. It's not an exclusive cue, so you can enable multiple channels for CUE B if you want. 2. You only have a global send control (via the level pot on CUE B), rather than channel-level sends (like SEND1 and SEND2) 3. You can't do pre-fade 4. You don't have a return channel, so you have to route it back to one of the existing channels or returns. However, you can sub-mix down your returns (like in your modular) so you can have like RETURN 1 and CUE B's return submixed down into one channel before it hits the mixer

@@LiamKillenI usually just beat match but I feel it can kind of pigeon hole you to certain genres. It always confused me why sync is such a hurdle for hybrid setups.

You still have to beat match but at least once the loop is made, it's a bit easier to control from the mixer rather than from multiple sound sources.

[@LiamKillen]

Hmm I can't remember exactly what I said and the context, I for sure was not comparing the 8S to the Model 1.4 if that's what you're suggesting here. What I did say is that the 8S is a perfect combination along with the model 1.4 because it has 8 outs (not necesarily got the 8S sounds, because you can use it as an audio interface as well), and the 1.4 has 4 stereo ins - so it's a perfect fit in this case. Hope that clears things up.

[@tresporros]

TR8 is a drum machine, tr8s is a mixture of synth, rompler and drum machine, many class A electronic artists use TR8, over TR8s( Carl Cox, Kink, etc) just because it's WYSIWYG tool, no menu diving, savings and loadings. TR8 wins with tr8s as a drum machine on every level as it is much better suite for live performance, programming live and tweaking without clicking too many buttons combinations. I had a privilege working with few drum machines, particularly AKAI MPC, from MPC60, through 3000, 3000LE, 4000, and 2500 in last years, and I found TR8 best drum suited for me, for performing music live. Or just for quickly making music, when in the studio, as I need less than 3 min to program sophisticated drum loop with percussions (and tuning bongos takes 80% of that 3 min:). Good luck with TR8s to be as instant and fast....

If you know deeply your samples and patterns the tr8s is a studio workhorse and a better live performing machine. As easy to use first instinct and fun the tr8 wins, i miss the scattering now.

@@mateomurphy thank you

[@gdiagamer8027]

what type of genre is he playing or called?

[@LiamKillen]

some sort of Techno hehe

[@YoungClemenzaR]

Could I connect a bulcha easel to this set up?

[@LiamKillen]

I don't see why not ! Also if you have other gear questions, hit up my Discord ! :-) discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP

[@juanjoseandrade7700]

How can you use an analog mixer with traktor pro?

[@LiamKillen]

You have to get an audio interface involved 😊

[@GiovanniCerra]

volevo chiederti all'accensione del mixer tramite pulsante 1/0 nel lato posteriore e' normale che sento un clip in accensione .. specialmente nelle cuffie? hai provato se senti un clip forte in accensione .. grazie per la risposta

[@LiamKillen]

I wish I knew what this meant.

[@williamwallace6508]

isnt 4 channels too limited for live set?

[@LiamKillen]

It is limited for sure. Mateo has the Model 1 which has 6. I'm ok with the 1.4 for now though :-)

[@williamwallace6508]

@@LiamKillen just bought the model 1 :]

[@DenisG7]

dude talked things on 1.4 like those Tractor scratch had 10+ years before 😂

[@LiamKillen]

It ain’t the same though

[@thomashall4296]

What module is that I/O on the synth rack?

[@LiamKillen]

Hopefully Mateo will see this message

[@mateomurphy]

NW2S io !

[@suawq]

​@@mateomurphy Are you using balanced DB25 for modular? Is it actually useful? Are there any modules that have a balanced audio path? Are you bringing the signal back to the computer? If so, what is your approach? What interface are you using for Traktor? Thanks

[@TheDittmann01]

eurorack case name ?

[@LiamKillen]

Ummmm something from intelijel I think?

[@mateomurphy]

Intellijel 7U performance case

[@VINYLCRATE]

Plays Kink during the transition segment; my kind of DJ.

[@VINYLCRATE]

Yo, s/o to your guest. Dude really has it dialed in.

[@LiamKillen]

So that’s why I got demonitized 😂

[@LiamKillen]

He’s the best - Mateo Murphy! Check his music in the description

[@tibocub]

It looks like someone tried to replicate my setup without actually being broke

[@mateomurphy]

It's taken me a long time to get there! Thanks for watching :)

[@MouldySoul]

Mix wise, invest in a de-esser, it gets so 4k-y. So brutally harsh in high end. That's doing damage to people's ears live

[@LiamKillen]

You mean the music ? Or our voices ? Lol

Nobody: KZbin Producer: Hardware Live Dawless Hybrid DJ/ Modular setup Music: sounds like an average beatport mp3

[@LiamKillen]

Dawless AND hybrid? Here’s a video for you my friend- you need to get your definitions straight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5-WfGVpm6-EfdUsi=PxB5GoJiUtJskgP8

[@claycowartisamazing]

@@LiamKillen all that gear and it sounds very thin and basic....daw might be needed. FX might be needed. Actually using the modular effectively would be nice. Not a lot going on here. Very basic hihats / little loop things.

[@korneykretov4668]

Please use high pass on the mic, it is very annoying to here all the handling/table noises, handheld zoom recorders are very bad with isolating that. On the big monitors it is almost impossible to listen to what is going on, in the bass heavy headphones too:)

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah I did that in post - did teh best that I could given the circumstances ! Thanks for watching :-)

You are taking ‘tone police’ to a completely new level 😂 Touch grass!

Then I put Joaquin Claussell right next to him with 2 decks and a DJR 400 and he makes this guy quite and dump all this fancy shmancy gear in the bin.Not one word about vocals.

What? Lol

Nice setup, shame about the music...

[@plutoloco2378]

Why would anyone use an octatrack as a performance mixer when you could just use a simple sampler and a dj mixer with FX?

[@LiamKillen]

Reach out to EZ Bot with that question - I’m sure he’d have a great answer lol

[@totalSLACK]

prolly cuz the octatrack is cool af
