2 Kontrol X1 vs 1 Kontrol X1 + Xone 2D

[DJ Asand]

If you want a new controller, i'd go for an x1 as said above by others you already have an audio 8 no need for another audio interface, if your only planning on using traktor.

If however you plan on using another software say Ableton live, you could go for the xone 2d because it has a wider variety of controls (i.e.: faders, knobs, push buttons etc...)

just my 2cents ^^ goodluck!

deadmau5 and Richie hawtin use the X1 in ableton too.. :P

anyway, very general question.
get a new mixer first. jk jk

go for the X1

From my experience with TP2, I'd go with the 2D. I'm using two X1s to control Traktor at the moment, but find them lacking when using 2 Decks plus 2 Sample-Decks. 4 Decks is great, but you don't have any controls for the loop-recorder.
NI does make a custom mapping, but as I am using an A/C B/D-Layout for my X1s I will have to rebuild ALL the mappings. Why not then go the direct route and build a good mapping for yourself- alas the 2D with faders and stuff becomes much more interesting.

saw a video where he was using it for a delay effect plugin in ableton.

either way, he uses it.. the X1 build quality is awesome
