Hey Guys!
Me and my buddy have been djing with each other for quite a while now. We both run Macbooks with Traktor Pro. I'm using a Xone:22 with the Kontrol X1 and Audio 2 DJ, and my buddy is using a Denon DN-X120 with the Launchpad mapped out to Traktor Pro and an Audio 2 DJ.
We usually just routed our mixers into a master mixer and switched off back and fourth at our shows. Sometimes we would do a couple songs each back and fourth and sometimes we would go song for song.
Lately we have been doing a lot of tech house, techno and minimal and have been fiddling around with loops, acapellas, and using bits and pieces of other songs with effects, etc to create more of a 'live' show, but sometimes it feels like going back and forth and having to match everything by ear quickly with loops, etc can get pretty aggravating when its all on the spot and we have much more to worry about.
We were thinking about getting a 4 channel mixer and routing our Audio 2 DJs into it so that when mixing live, it's almost like my buddy, Ross, is working 2 decks and I'm working 2 decks at the same time so that we're doing 4 decks, but with 2 laptops. We were thinking about going with a Xone:42 or a Xone:92R and each getting a Xone:1D to control our decks and effects, loops, etc.
We pretty much know what we want to accomplish and what equipment we're going to use, but we really would like to sync our Macbooks together. What would be the most reliable way for us to sync our systems together? Would we need any hardware or software? If so, what software or hardware would we need and where can we find it?
Regards,
Mirash
