Help me DJ tech tools your my only hope.....
Im sure this has been asked a million times before but im really struggling here, Im hoping you guys that are owners of any of this kit can help me make my mind up. Ive watched endless reviews and demos of each bit of kit but i keep changing my mind from one to the other. The short of it is ive made the jump into traktor, really enjoy using it - curently with an APC40 MK1 but it just doesnt cut it for me, i dont use sync and its all abit clunky... anyhows ive got some money to spend on some new gear so i will cut to the chase
D2 -
Pros: Looks to have all bases covered, Screen, fx, library browsing, deck control, no more staring at a laptop screen
Cons: not overly keen on the idea of not having decks A & B stacked on the screen as it kinda disrupts my workflow. Dont know how practical it is as its a pretty new unit
X1mk2 pair -
Pros: Portability, compact, tried and tested for a few years now, heard nothing but good things, offers full control over 4 decks if i want it
Cons: Will rely on the laptop screen more than the D2
Push -
Pros: Can use it in my ableton set up for producing music, can remap it for use in traktor so will be multi purpose for me, lots of stuff available for mapping
Cons: Not native to traktor, less portable, having to spend afew hours in traktors midi mapping screen alot bigger than the D2 and X1s - im running out of space as it is, would still be staring at a laptop screen and cant imagine it would be any less "clunky" than the APC40
Between the 3 units there isnt much difference in price, in the current market i would save around £70 going down the pair of x1's route but would probably end up getting a set of the cases that bring them up to mixer height anyway. If any of you guys have any experience of using Push with traktor, own x1s or have splashed out on a nice shiny D2 i would love to hear your findings and advice
thanks in advance
