    Default Need help with this one...

    Ok so I am doing a gig on friday and my s4 just died and I have to sent it back to NI. I have a Kontrol X1, akai MPD24 and a stanton t.62 at my disposal. My question is whether I would have enough to throw a dj setup together with that some how. I don't have an audio interface as everything went through the s4. But I would be willing to buy a mixer or a Audio 2 or something. Thoughts? Suggestions? This is just a house party, nothing to crazy.

    Burn your tracks to CD's and play on CDJ's?

    Why not just play one of your mixes and pretend you are doing the mixing live? Sure its a little more effort than you put into your user name, but it will fly....

    maybe it stands for something

    i'm sure you could find a suitable mapping already created for your X1 and and quickly map any extra controls to the mpd24. an audio2 would be a good thing to have as a backup in future anyway.

    I've played house parties with just an X1 and mixer before, and you could easily map internal mixer controls to the MPD. I would recommend getting an audio 2 though, for headphone cueing if nothing else.

    You have plenty to do a set, and a spare sound card is always a good idea.
