Lately I have seen many setups using 2 x1s to control 2 decks. I was wondering what the advantage of this is opposed to only having 1 (as they control 2 decks each anyways)
Enlighten me? Thanks

4 channels. I haven't seen double X1 setups only mixing 2.

I use 2 x1's to control two decks. I basically hate having to hit the shift key to access certain features in traktor so I just custom mapped them so everything is right there without having to hit any extra buttons (first world problems ;P). Having 2 x1's also gives me the option of going the 4 deck route if I ever feel like it. My setup is 2 x1's, 1 f1, 1 1210 mk5 and a DB4 mixer. Personally I just feel this setup gives me a lot of flexibilty during my sets.
One of solutions would be:
First X1 to control cue, play etc and FX Units 1 and 2.
Second X1 for all eight hotcues and FX Units 3 and 4.
Left and right separation. Some people just like the feel of having transport controls either side of the mixer.

Also, if mixing internally, you can map them to control both effects and EQs, without needing a shift function. using Rotaries for Line Faders.
But as said before, lots just prefer having one deck either side of the mixer. (Me included)
Ahh this is starting to make sense. Kind of a noob question but its been rattling around in my brain. Thanks everyone.

I use two X1s for the same reasons people here have already mentioned. I like having the option of a 3rd deck (I've got an Audio 6, so I don't have enough outputs for 4) but really, I like having access to all four FX units easily, and i like having one on either side of the mixer. So I've got them set up A/C on the left, and B/D on the right.
