To DB4 or not to DB4 - What setup should i choose!?
Firstly, AARGGHHHH!!!
My body hurts trying to figure out what to do with my setup and was hoping that I can find some help on here to figure out how to go – I am going around in circles trying to decide how to go:
First Setup idea
I was thinking of going for a DB4 and a couple of K2’s, stop using Traktor and stick to using Ableton Live. I would plan to use the Midi shift button on the DB4 to control all of the parameters in Live, set each channel to a corresponding channel in Live, record automation, FX manipulation etc. using the DB4 & K2’s Faders & EQ’s.
I also use 1210s and would implement Deckadance as a plugin for vinyl control within Live. I’m not sure how Deckadance 2 stacks up to Traktor yet though and also, I am unsure if I could manipulate and record the tracks within Live using the DB4 effects?
Second Setup idea
Stick with Traktor and route all through into Live using either the DB4 or Xone:92 – I like this idea because it just seems a bit more interesting, I get the best of both Traktor & Live (apart from being able to control automation of the input into Live from Traktor).
Not sure if this is unnecessary and a complete nightmare to setup and maintain, especially when playing out?
Third Idea
Just stick with Traktor and forget about Live and the DB4 – go for a 92 and just record within Traktor and stick with the Traktor FX and be happy with it! Do i really need all the control Live offers???
Any help much appreciated!!! Guide me people!
