I have been DJing for a year with my RMX, however it is time for an upgrade if i want to start getting jobs. I was thinking about getting a different controller until i saw the midifighters. Is it possible to use the RMX with 2 midifighters (one for deck a and one for deck b) using traktor pro? if so how do i configure it? would it be better to get something else? please help me out with this dilemma. Thanks

There are many possibilities with that combo. If you wanted one for each deck you could use the deckalized mapping.

Ok would that mess up my mapping for the RMX? Also my computer only has 2 USB ports, would i have to buy a USB hub to use all three?

Get a powered USB hub and make sure that you turn off as much computer devices (wireless, soundcard etc) to reduce latency and have your hercules connected directly to the computer.
Our setup we have a launchpad, joystick and custom MIDI controller and it runs fine.
Have fun . .

I'd say it was alright, but it sounds like a lot of hassle... What's your price range?
Pioneer DJM 700 / Traktor Kontrol X1 / 2 x Technics SL1200MK5 / Traktor Scratch Pro 2.6.7 / Ortofon Concorde Nightclub MK1
Audio 8 DJ / Sennheiser HD 25-1 II / Magma Traveler / IsoAcoustics ISO-L8R155 / KRK RP6 G2 / Vinyl

is it safe to say you'll be using Virtual DJ? that could limit you on what you map onto the MF.
sounds like a great setup but it all depends on how you want to use the midifighters.

Except with akai lpd's or number pads because im broke as hell cuz.
on a side note, is there a mapping for one midi fighter, two decks?
or a way to switch from deck a to b?
thx

Im actually using traktor pro. i like it better than vitual dj. I want to use the two midifighters to control effects and cue points (one for deck a and one for deck b) I use my laptop keyboard for cue points now.
also is there a way to map the midifighters to control deck a&c or b&d, like by using a shift button?
