Hi Guys,
First post here. Just need some advice. I mainly use Traktor and wanted to spend some money on a setup. So I got 2 Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2's and a Pioneer DJM 900NXS. It works perfect. But a part of me tells me that I should have invested in a Kontrol S8? Am I right to feel that way? What would you do? Appreciate any input!
No, although it is a fairly big investment for a beginner, you did right IMO if you plan to be a club DJ. Actually that is very close to my own home setup in a near future.
You have chosen to be a modular DJ, which is the type of DJ that I am. You will train on the same equipment that you will find in clubs, so you won't need to bring most of the volume and weight of it, it's already there.
Maybe it's a good idea to buy an Audio 8 or Audio 10 interface, so you can use mixers that do not have built in soundcards when at clubs. (I am assuming you use 4 decks because you said you bought 2 X1's, if you use 2 decks an Audio 4 or Audio 6 is enough).
So congratulations, you did right.
This is my set up but I also use an F1 and a Push. You made the right choice.
No great choice, you have the best of both worlds.
It was only a mistake if you can't afford it.
Oh, i'd take that set up over an S8 any day of the week.
I love my DJM 900, I use one X1 and 2x1200s for vinyl / traktor scratch control. It's a bonus it's scratch certified too for sure.
mixer + 2x x1's sounds cool to me. certainly wouldnt switch that for an S8. mixer+d2's maybe.
Thank you very much for the replies fellas. I will definitely be keeping this setup! :)
