Alright now that i got you here...
So something got messed up in my high school schedule and I have to spend 3 hours in the library so this definitely gives me time to get some work done there. I have my laptop, about to get sennheiser hd-25s but my vci100, despite being very portable, is wayyy too much hardware for just chillin in the library practicing.
So I what I was thinking was an lpd8 since it's really small and I won't look like a tool. Ideally I would want control of cue points 1-8 for all 4 decks, something to help with looping, filter knobs, and something for just quick effects.
My idea is mapping my computer keyboard for cue's 1-8, using the 1,Q,A,Z rows, assigning a few buttons to toggle effects on & off (I only use reverb and delay), something for play/pause and maybe sync, then set up the lpd8 to handle looping controls and filters.
Does this seem like a logical approach? Is there some knob/button I'm missing? I would love to have a crossfade/vol. fade but then that's basically a controller and I can do with just xfading/adjusting volume with my mouse.
Should I go after this or would I just look like a tool? I would do homework but I only get so much of it and without any cell service/internet/twitter, there's not much else I can occupy myself with.
P.S. does the lpd8 make clicky noises when you press the pads?
