Need to get my contollers working and fix this crash

Hi everyone.

I'm pretty new to djing and especially traktor. Right now I am using a legit copy of Traktor pro 2 and have just begun tinkering around in it. I'd like to get both my hercules dj e2 and midifighter working with trakor, but so far I can only get one working at a time. For instance, when I import the hercules mapping, it deletes my midifighter mapping, and vice versa. I heard something about two different import buttons, so i'm guessing this should be as simple as hitting the correct import buttons and maybe changing a setting to allow multiple controllers.

I'm also having trouble finding good mappings that will work for me with my version of traktor. can anyone recommend any good mappings for the hercules and midifighter? The two I've tried so far are the one hercules provides and ean golden's mapping for the midifighter. The hercules one works fine but is almost identical to the one I use in virtual DJ, which is way to simple it seems. Maybe a layout of that mapping would prove to be helpful. The midifighter mapping seems to work to a point. Like some of the buttons work as it should, and most others don't. I have 4 banks mode enabled.

As for the crashing aspect, my audio setup is about as basic as it gets. Output to external 5.1 usb soundcard (shitty $4 on amazon.com) which goes to my headphones. I also have a headphone jack on my computer which normally goes to my sound system. If I had the external card going to my sound system, and my laptop out going to my headphones, how would I set that up in traktor so I can preview songs? Also, when I change my audio settings in traktor to my 5.1 generic soundcard, it crashes 9/10 times. I got it to work last night but that was without my mixer or midifighter being connected. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait until im up and running properly on traktor!

 

Try this ......

there are 2 ways to import a mapping and if you use the bottom import button it will over write whats in there already... use the one under the ADD button in controller mappings to add more than one

some good mapping on this site aswell...!

also try the asio4all soundcard drivers to sort out your crashing issues..!

enjoy.!

 

Thanks for the help and quick reply. Downloaded ASIO4ALL and still crashing. Says it encountered a major error and had to shut off. It did create a crash log, so i can post that later.

I seem to have found a decent midifighter mapping that I like. However, I now have a new problem.

I imported the traktor mappings that I used before for hercules and worked, but now they dont work. I tried other mappings for it, and those dont work either. I've tried just about everything I could think of. Like restarting pc, plugging/unplugging usb, messing with settings, checking drivers, ect. The controller works fine in Virtualdj but no response from traktor.

 

I'd surgest wiping your laptop and starting again with a fresh install to try and clear the crashes...as for the mapping issues you need to speak to rainerh on here ... he's the mapping expert from traktor bible ..!

put your complete laptop and soundcard specs up here so we can see what your using...!
