Hello guys.
I've been meaning to downsize my current rig which currently consists of:
Trak Audio 10 , Xone 92 mixer, 2x Kontrol X1, Kontrol F1 and Maschine.
I have 3 track decks and one remix deck coming in on the Xone track channels and i intend to use the master out of the Traktor Audio 10 as a stereo master out from Maschine into a Return chan on the Xone 92, as i only recently got maschine.
But gigging locally i find the setup time and space required annoying. For power outlets i need to have the Macbook, Audio 10, Xone 92 and a USB hub connected. Then make all USB connections and RCA audio connections.
The built in USB Hub and soundcard in the Kontrol Z2 is super enticing.
Am wondering how i could integrate Maschine into this setup---i only use 1 macbook pro so if Maschine could use one of the outputs on the z2 soundcard i'd have to sacrifice a track deck. Anyway of making Maschine and a Track Deck both come on the same channel ? maybe if i use Jack Router and assign the the same channel ? Maschines volume could be controlled from the hardware. This is my theory....easier would be to just sacrifice a deck.
Also, on the Z2, is there anyway to hear the preview player ?? I havent seen it mentioned and the manual is not up for download yet.
My other option is to build my own custom case so my main gear is always connected, power and audio so i just have to make the 2 USB connects on the Macbook Pro and connect the main power strip and macbook pro power......it would be bulky though
Please share your opinions and ideas.
Thanks
