They’ll also sync to Traktor via MIDI, to keep everything in time (more on that later). Speaking of Resolume, a full-scale VJ application like that, or Arkaos GrandVJ, will of course do a great job of providing whatever kind of visual splendor you could ever dream of. It works very well, provided you’ve got enough storage on your tablet for plenty of content. I’ve been very impressed with Hexler’s TouchViz on iPad, which is basically a portable version of a full VJ platform like Resolume. In fact, there are lots of options if synchronicity is something you can live without. They can do a great job if you want something basic and cheap that relates, in some way, to the tempo and intensity of the music you’re playing. At the simple end, there are visualization options, some of which we covered last year here. So a third-party, standalone solution is required. Unless Native Instruments brings out something of its own, a direct video plugin for Traktor seems very unlikely to appear. With that in mind, I started to investigate my options. Where there was no video for a track, I had a brace of visual loops to play alongside the audio.įor a multitude of reasons, I recently moved over to Traktor Scratch, and went back to spinning audio only, but sometimes I do get a yearning to bring a visual aspect back to my sets. Dropping a big new track while the video plays on a massive screen, or a clutch of flat screens, felt rather cool, especially as I was able to cut, mix, and blend the videos in exactly the same way as regular audio. I would spin h.264 video files in Scratch Live, playing back the visual aspect via Serato’s Video SL (now Serato Video) or Inklen’s Mi圎mergency plugins. Today we’ll show you how to get started with Mi圎mergency and Traktor.įor a long time (about four years) I was a video DJ-specifically, a DJ who played music videos. That doesn’t have to mean video-a blacked-out room with a solitary strobe provides as much of a visual statement as a 40-foot video wall-but a well crafted video and graphics show can be breathtaking if done well.
