Control 4 decks?

[Karlos Santos]

lol how is it better than using a controller?

It's not better, it's different.

People like the tactile feel of vinyl. I love using regular vinyl or DVS. I love my controllers for equally but different reasons.

It looks way cool brah. That's the only reason. He doesn't even need a controller. He can sound exactly the same with 2 X1's.

I do like the feel of DVS. But it's not worth the headache for me. I guess if you have a rider and a tech it's different.

To some, it does. I use DVS at weddings and at every single wedding at least one person, usually a few people say how cool my timecode setup look as opposed to the usual wedding DJ hiding behind a booth with a controller.
Plus, when people can see you actually mixing they think it looks better and is more enjoyable to watch - seeing someone actually mixing has never and will never lose it's ability to amaze people.

I was an early adopter of midi controllers - I was pretty much the first controller user in my city and I have championed controllerism - so no accusation of vinyl/turntable snobbery can ever be levelled at me.

That's the only reason.

I know, you know that is a silly thing to say.

It I do like the feel of DVS. But it's not worth the headache for me.

The fact that I use turntables sets me apart from other DJs (I'm talking weddings again - not clubs) and it is a USP (kinda) that is helping me generate good income.

I feel that we have drifted off topic.

when you play 4 decks on timecode the first turntable switch between A&C and the second B&D +the X1 for fx ..

Thank you!! that's such a cool way to do it. How can you assigned the button to switch? Which button is used?

When I was still all

VINYL PURIST MAN

I would lug around two extra 1200's to every gig to have four turntables. (DNB and Hardcore)

WHen I first picked up Serato I was having to use two decks for digital and still carry around my tt's to have two more decks for vinyl

Then, I discovered being able to use two turntables and simply switch between decks in Traktor and I was hooked.

on the mapping add in "timecode" "playback mode int/rel/abs" "button" "playback mode relative" on/off + routing audio in A/C in 1&2 etc
