New Equipment

[haze324]

yeah man I hear ya.....i have a post up asking where's a good place to find a case where i can toss a mixer and two X1's. It would be great to have everything already prewired and just show up and plug in the speakers and go.

If I was in your shoes I'd do the same and not want to carry the DJM 800 and CDJ's around for small party. I just read your sig block --- my bad, didn't mean to insult your intelligence on how to hook up an audio 8.

I'll tell you though man, it's takes a little getting used to using the X1's and no jogwheels. Aside from that, they are awesome pieces of equipment.

I say get them. The more of us on this site that get them the better the collab will be to fully maximize their use.

dont worry didnt take it as a insult & thank for the heads up on the x1's i just really like equipment that i can incorporate with my timecode setup or do a whole setup without the timecode... and im still debating between the stanton midi mixer or the m-audio x-session pro considering the price

hhahahh....i started writing about the Xsession on my last post but ended up deleting it since you posted up a pretty pricey mixer and the Xsession is 70 bucks.

I ended grabbing an external mixer and the X1's for the same reason. I like using timecode, but want to leave the TT's at home when just jamming at a small gig.

The Xsession looks great for the money. I was thinking about mapping the pitch sliders as the volumes for decks C and D. you don't need any other button aside from the cross fader and volumes, oh and cueing your headphones. Everything else in on the X1. If I were you, i'd get the X1's first and play around with them and then decide if you want a nice midi stanton or if the Xsession will do for what you want it for.
