Maybe someone else will explain that but it has nothing to do with tractor. That video is so clear you should be able to pick up how he is interacting with it on the Allen and Heath.

There are 2 ways of connecting it but it looks like Marco has the delay running throught the 4th channel on the mixer.

It's a case of connecting aux 1 or 2 on the a&h to the input on the dd6.

Then connect the output of the dd6 to the line in on your chosen (free) channel on the mixer. You can then adjust the volume of delay using the upfader on the channel.

Hope that helps.

Don't forget that these stompboxes are meant to take instrument levels and NOT line levels which are way too hot. Not sure how these DJs deal with that, maybe they like awful digital clipping in their mixes

seeing as most everyone runs every channel and the master in the red the entire time they play, who gives a fck? not to mention all the tracks are clipped and mastered way too hot anyways.

pile sh!t upon sh!t and you still end up with sh!t.



as soon as people grow up and start running the audio properly, who cares if they use a digitech death metal pedal or not?
