Transferring from CD to Traktor/digital DJ
Hi there!
Noob here on this forum, Im just about to move from CDJ to Traktor djing after some years with CD.
My "digital DJ-gear" is now a AH DB4, NI X1 and a APC40 that im trying to find the best use for. I didnt want to throw out my old Denon S3500, but I'm about to run out of space in my room
I've got my X1 up and running and also played a bit around with some mappings for the APC40, but I feel a bit "lost"
Just DJing with Traktor is all new to me and I'm looking for tips for a good setup/mapping for my stuff. Hopefully there are some here that may be able to help with some guidance

The best I have found is that, you have to play around with your current setup, and just after a wee while you will start to feel whats missing, that way you can add that mapping to apc etc etc. Never found a suitable mapping, the one that i could use, that someone else made, always ending up making my own mappings And I think its best way to go

Well, i'm starting to get into using Traktor for mixing, little by little
My APC40 is getting mapped and I almost feel i'm mapping out my X1.
I guess an idea would be using the X1 as a main/basic controller, and the APC for some "advanced" functions like adding, storing, changing hotcues, beatgrid on the fly and doing beatjumps and stuff. But that reamins to see when i get into the whole Traktor mixing routine
APC40 "dumb mode" vs normal: what is really the deal with this, i'm getting gray hairs about mapping this thing But it seems the "dumb mode" is the way to go for getting this one working as i wany, with the button lights and all. But mapping the led rings is not working it seems, the led rings seem to be controlled from the rotary even tho they are assigned to an output and no input from traktor. F.ex a level meter with the rotary controlling the gain. The led rings are on a CC+8 from the rotary i've read, and i can get the led rings lighting up on that cc, but as soon as i turn the rotary the leds will follow, even tho they are not linked to any controller in Traktor.
The way im thinking is that i want to mix traktor with the master clock, since this is sending modi clock to my xone DB4 i think syncing my whole mix to this is a reasonable way to approach it.
Beat-sync vs Tempo sync im not sure about the function yet, but for me it seems im not able to choose between these in the mix. f.ex having a button beeing tempo sync and say with adding "shift" it goes to beatsync
Adding a picture to show where i'm at for the moment
