Thinking Realistically (Traktor F1)

[JesC]

im thinking of getting one for SSL & Ableton the bridge & maschine on the go controller. Im pretty sure ill pick one up 2nd hand on CL for dirt cheap.

I pre-ordered one from sweetwater. If I like it as much as I think I will. I'll be buying a second & prob sell my maschine.

How in the hell are Maschine and the F1 at all competing products??????

Well, ones a 16 pad controller that controls a sample player, and the other is a 16 pad controller that controls a sample player. Most people don't realize that Maschine is primarily a DAW component, and see it as a DJ tool.

No, the F1 controls a sample player is about the simplest way possible. Maschine is a sequencer that has a sampler and hosts synthesizers.

They have almost nothing to do with each other.

If the F1 is supposed to appeal to the people who use Maschine as a glorified pad controller with pretty lights, I guess I see the point………

Figured out a way to solve the overpriced problem....wait 3 weeks for the kiddies to try it out, find out how hard it is to make sets containing alot of loops/how little they add to a set if not used correctly.

Seriously, most ppl do not have the energy to have a 100-1000 loop library to pick from.

Then boom 190 or less for this controller in basically brand new condition.

However, reorganizing all my loops in traktor from ableton would suck (alot)

I didn't pre-order but my F1 is officially en-route

Ding ding ding!

Ding ding ding!

Yep!

[DJDoubleYou]

to be honest, i'm gonna buy it but i don't know for shure if i ever gonna use it live. If so, it wil be because you can save you remix decks sets, so if i'm bored i can quickly make one in Traktor.
