In an attempt to create the ideal "for me" set-up, I am eliminating one of my key pieces of equipment...my mixer, and going CDJ/Controller.
While it serves its purpose, I find that I am really only using the volume faders and EQs. Of course that's what a mixer is for, but heck, I can do that with a midi controller.
So going back to my midi roots, I have decided to let my X1 take the place of my Xone 42. I step back, I know. Being able to control everything within Traktor with my X1 both in midi and HID mode took a little mapping but now it does essentially the same thing as my 42, while beatmatching is still done with my CDJs.
A simple, yet powerful combo is now 2 CDJs set to native mode and the X1 as my mixer. Volume is now initiated by simply the EQs.
Not sure what the point of this was, but hope some others find this useful and some find it strange
