Does this work?
Out of interest would it be possible to setup a xone 42 and two 1d’s as a complete setup for traktor? I presume an audio 4 would be needed, but is it possible?
yes you would have to put the right settings in traktors preferences and imo i would go for the kontrol x1 instead of A&H 1D
Ive been thinking of a similar set up. Was looking at Xone 92, but it was a bit out of my price range. For four decks you would need an Audio 4 or 8?
Santos - why do you recommend the X1? I’ve been seeing alot of folks selling these lately. My only worry is that without at least one, you have no jog wheel to search or scroll?
they have dedicated buttons for such check out these videos: http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-kontrol-x1/
and currently I have 2x Pioneer CDJ 1000’s & Im definately going to add an Kontrol X1 to my set-up but i might eventually sell my cdjs and buy 2 x1’s
^^ What I meant to say was that I’ve seen alot of folks selling their 1D’s after the X1’s have been out. I’ll check out the vids now.
what do you think about mixers with built in effects rather than one without and using soley TP effects?
personally i use a DJM 800 and i use both built in effects and i mapped 2 of my channels for traktors effects… tracktors effects are REALLY good but i still love the classic feel of my built-in… i guess it goes by preference
Thanks for the help!
Haze im with you on the 1d, I like the fact they have jog wheels and some nice faders. A plus also in my mind is you can make your own mapping and overlay.
yeah the jog wheels are my biggest concern. I dont think they are touch sensitive — wonder how you can scroll thur a track if you have not set a cue point.
I was over on the NI forum and there was a post talking about guys who were using the X1 when it first came out and have gone back to the 1D. Hawtin being one of them.
on hawtins most recent gig he used the kontrol x1
For 4 deck control which of these would work?
Auido 4, Audio 8, Audio Kontrol 1?
I’m pretty sure you need an audio 8. Left and right channel x 4 decks
santo - i saw a vid of his at nye. So it’s not the most recent. I think I’m going to pick an x1 this weekend and if works out I’ll jump into a mixer soon.
Curious to hear from guys who have used both in a full digital set up.
definately Audio 8 dunna about the other 2 but dont think so
Just had a mess around seeing how I would like it mapped, in my mind this is perfect traktor with pretty much all buttons used and used well…
When I still had a 1D I used a couple of these buttons as modifiers to turn the jog+associated knob into pitch bend+fine tempo change.
You may also want something for deck select (for play/pause/cue/sync).
I was interested in setting the upper 8 buttons as hotcues, however playing with the faders would sometimes result in accidental pushes on the topmost buttons.
Yer I was thinking I could map the two unused buttons on the jog as pitch nudges, and add a shift in somewhere probably in place of the pause button.
but you would have to use a modifier to control 2 decks…and the x1’s are lighter…
and now yous are making me questions x1 or 1d lol
