Ok, so im not going to be a tool but i do have some questions that I need some help with that I'm hoping your guys can give us a hand with.
I have bought some new equipment for a different style if dj'ing that i am used to. have played on vinyl and cdjs for 10 years and have found that i have gotten bored and have bought Traktor, NI x1, Xone 92 mixer and NI's Maschine.
My Questions are as follows:
1. At the mo i am using Traktor though the Audio 2 sound card from NI. Now i know that i will be wanting to use 4 decks and that for the time being this is not possible with the Audio 2, is this correct or can i map it so that i can use all four decks through the Xone 92?
2. If for question 1 i can not use the 4 decks, should i upgrade the sound card to the Audio 8 or the Audio 10? I will be wanting to use the Maschine for the step sequencing features when i play too, so (even though i don't know how yet) i will want to have the Maschine connected up to the sound card or my Mac so i can use it while dj'ing. Can Maschine work on an Audio 8 sound card or will i have to go all out and get the Audio 10?
3) Does Maschine just connect into the sound card for step sequencing or do i use the MIDI ports at the back? Im not a producer (well, not yet) and so i am a bit dim about if these are to be put into use somehow.
4) Im looking for an interesting mapping this i saw on this video below of Richie Hawtin using an X1, but he has a delay on the signal and then changes the frequency of the track making a mint ass noise. Does anyone know where that mapping is and what exactly he is doing because the quality of the video is a little poor to see what is going on. He does the effect at 1min 42sec.
Thanks for the help folks! It is most appreciated.
