THIS HAS BEEN SPACED FOR EASIER READING: Thank you in advance, I know I can be difficult but I appreciate your thoughtful inputs:
So I need help.
Backround: Setup: Laptop (HP Envy 14 Beats EDITION) [w/traktor scratch pro 2] Audio4DJ A Maschine as a midi controller for effects bank 3 and hotcues X1 (stock maping) Numark X6 2 channel mixer
Want to change setup. Why: I feel trapped. Something about the setup feels uncreative. I know it’s a nice setup but it just feels not right (although I am thankful for what I have) + I want to use the decks c and d (maybe sample decks and loop recorder).
What can I do: Move on...
buy a VCI 100 Arcade from a guy in Australia (im going to at some point next week)
Plan: sell my x1 and mixer so I could use the money to help pay for the VCI and Have the VCI next to my Maschine.
At first when designing the mapping for the Maschine i wanted it to do most of the functions that VCI need to be in shift to do.
For EX
sample decks C and D Track decks C and D loop recorder hotcues 5-8 Faders for C and D and more..
But again it felt like I was going to use shift a lot and it was strange.
I noticed, I only need to sell my mixer which means i could use my x1 to control decks c and D for either (samples or tracks) and use the Maschine to control volume faders hot cues and effects… Is this over load? Should I stick to just Maschine and VCI and sell the x1 and use that for a crane stand or go to better speakers or other stuff..(LOL I know I want a lot but who doesn’t).....
Or
Is there some magical controller that I should use next to the VCI that has faders and will be better (did kinda think of the korg nano kontrol 2...) IDK.. (don’t like the s4)
PS I feel like if I sell the maschine or return it (its new edu version return might be easier) i will loose the ability to produce..... Should I let go and return it and when I “master” DJing then go to production..
IDK please help THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
