I’m eventually going to work my way up to getting a Xone:92 running 2 A&H K2’s and Traktor but for now as hours at work have shortened I need to purchase a midi controller. I’m debating between either the Allen & Heath XoneX or the Pioneer DDJ-T1. My problem is that I want to get familiar with the A&H mixer as I’ve always practiced on a DJM-800 and could use familiarity. The other problem is that the XoneX runs Serato itch when I’m trying to switch over to Traktor! I wouldn’t go with an S4 or other mixers as I’d rather be completely comfortable using strictly a Pioneer or A&H mixer, but I’m barely making the switch to Traktor as well. What do you guys think would be the best choice?
Are you planning to use 2 or 4 decks? Otherwise you can buy the K2’s and a cheap 2 channel mixer. When the time is right (you have enough money ) you can buy the xone 92 and keep the 2 channel mixer as backup. For 4 deck-mixing, you will need an extra sound card though.
To be honest, I’m quite indecisive when its coming to purchasing my setup. I’d rather build towards my ultimate setup but I’m having a hard time choosing between
I’ve barely begun to see that the midi capabilities aren’t that great with the Xone:92 and Traktor though? Maybe I read it from some shoobie I’m going to be spinning tech house mostly, and I’m definitely an audiophile but I still want to have the remixing/effects capabilities. I’m still new to all this so hopefully you guys can lead me in the right direction.
