What's a good controller setup with analogue mixer?

[racoon]

if you want to beatmatch tracks manually when you are mixing with music that comes not perfectly gridded out of your traktor > Denon SC2000

if you want mix prepared tracks which are gridded and you keep your mix "in the (traktor) box" then > X1

it IS POSSIBLE to manually beatmatch tracks with your X1 if you mix with tracks which are coming from CDJ's or an other PC or something but its NOT FUN

(as far as i can say with my x1 traktor setup and the standard config

how i can set the pitch from deck1 from 0.00% to 2.80% without touching the mouse or need a custom midi setup is something i don't know ^^)

there's not much point in beatmatching on X1s, just use sync, then use the nudge and pitch to fine tune.

If you're using sync, why would you ever need to nudge?

As if no one said midifighters or mfp. 2 would be good using the deckalized mapping.

They're not good enough. They're great for routines, and I guess you could map one to actually work, but I just don't see the point of spending the same money on something that has fewer controls and no logical way to select and load tracks (yes, I know you can map buttons…but do you really want to scroll through tracks with buttons instead of an encoder? Come on.)

I can attest to that. It's fine for mixing out of the guy before you (if he doesn't do something dickish like constantly move a pitch fader just to screw with you) but you don't want to do it for a set. Sync works. If you're using X1s, use it.

Also…if you're not spinning hip hop, X1s are the most straightforward DJing has been for me since vinyl.

most of the time im manually beatmatching 2 songs that are @ different bpm's..

i'll use sync if i get a creative idea to do a quick mash up or remix or cuz im simply running out of time to find the correct bpm

Is nudge mapped by default on an x1 out of the box?

True about the mf thing, I use mine with a mixer, mixing free style. It's fun but as u say I have to reach over to the mouse to load tracks
