Traktor 1.2.7

[rjc]

If you're struggling to find 1.2.7, the price of Pro 2 is only 90ish dollars (Or for $110, you can get the Audio2 soundcard included).

While I agree that you don't need the fanciest toys to learn, It's incredibly cheap for the fully fledged version of the software. You're going to get all the same basic functions out of any software, whether it's Serato, Djay, Traktor or whatever, they all play music. You're not really gaining much by starting back a few version revisions, but you will likely lose money if you chose to upgrade (I don't believe there is an upgrade path from Traktor 1 to 2 anymore).

That being said, the layout between 1 and 2 is very similar, your mentor should have no troubles showing you how to dj with either version.

i do agree in principle but the other problem is the spin wont work with pro 2 so that means also buying another controller

i do plan to upgrade to a better one i just wanted a few months on the spin for me to learn on and prob wear it out lol

Oops Sorry, I must have been writing my post when you replied and missed it. Didn't realise you were using a Vestax Spin. I had a quick look around, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of mappings for Pro 2.

Ah well, sorry I couldn't be of more help! Scour Craigslist/Gumtree/Ebay and Create a Wanted Thread in DJTT I suppose

I will dig for my spin over the weekend and see if I can find a mapping that works with 2.

http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=24884 This worked with 2.5.1 to move the controls of four decks for me in 4 regular deck mode with my spin. I didn't hook up the audio but the mapping moved the crossfaders switched to C and D and moved the eq and filter on all decks. I really like this mapping a lot, it is super sweet and reels the limitations of the Spin back quite a bit. I prefer it in some ways a more robust controller.
