So, long story short about 1.5 years ago i got into djing by using traktor software and numark controller.
When S4 came, I jumped on it, I liked it but felt like I wanted to try something else so I picked up cdjs 1000 and a djm400 mixer, started burning cds and going down that road..
Now I'm kind of back to the more digital area, having upgraded with cdjs 850(rekordbox) and a djm 800.
Now, to the point. I know how to use traktor and some easy mapping stuff but i'm not a mapping guru. A vision came up in my head.. using the djm 800 as a midicontroller together with either 1 x1 or 2. I tried to search after videos.. or threads of people that have done this mapping (and replacing their cdjs with x1's and computor).
But I could not find any which I think is weird hence it's a powerful combo.
Thought id just throw out the question, anyone out there using a mixer(if you also got the 800, great) with just X1's instead of turntables?
What mapping in that case? Do you find it to be a better solution(If I want to save some money and sell the turntables) or would you prefer to keep the tables and play cds/usb).
Now with rekordbox its really easy to organize your library and make waveforms before your gig which was the features I liked most with traktor.
Then the effects like beatmasher and others is just extra goodies
So basically I'd just like to hear your opinion and perhaps sharing your experience.
