So I've been here long enough to see that there are plenty of people out there that have grand visions for their controllers, but no idea where to start on making those visions a reality. Before I actually ask my question, I'd like to say that there are PLENTY of place to go for the knowledge of how to map yourself (Blogs, Studying other official mappings, Traktor Bible, etc.), and I'd highly recommend learning, as it opens up the possibilities to be virtually endless. However, there are still quite a bit of people that either don't want/have the time to do that themselves, or simply lack the technical side of things to do it.
Personally, I thoroughly enjoy challenges when it comes to making my controllers do ridiculous things in Traktor, and love a mapping for other peoples' visions... So my question is: Who would consider it a worthwhile investment to pay for custom mappings? There are obviously people that are willing to pay for mappings that they didn't even think of, as DJTT now sells their mappings for the S2, and soon, the S4. Imagine being able to custom tailor your own mapping, but have someone else do the actual programing side of it...
I'm interested to see what people think, as I've been doing plenty of mapping for other people and have gained a bit of a reputation (with local DJs) as the mapping guru. Everyone comes to me with questions of "Can my S4 do this?" and "If I want to create my own super combo, can you do that for me?". I spend quite a bit of time working on these dreams for them, and wonder if it's reasonable to charge a small price for my efforts. Are there people on the forum that would be willing to pay to have their own dream mapping made?...
