Got a 1200mk2-s and audio 4 timecode - Whats next?
I’ve got a pair of 1200mk2-s and Audio 4 timecode.
What should i do next. I dont want to use my mouse at party (especialy when im working with computer, and my eyes are tired) and
didn’t really want to buy a some Hercules rmx.
But i wanna still have loops and que points.
Maybe Kontrol X1 and some not-to-expensive 2 channel bullet-proof mixer.
It’s my first set of gear.
What do you think?
Kontrol X1 for sure would add to the set up. Lots of possibilities with that.
get a dicer!
Dicer looks kinda akward for me. I’ve got hands of monkey 
so maybe a little too small for me.
But yeez, maybe than K1+dicer
Dicer for juggling X1 for FX and other little goodies. Sounds like you’ve got it figured out.
X1 has all you need for controlling 2 TTs, but a dicer would give you extra (like howard from the halifax).
Check out the DJTT mapping video from the other day!
But, What about Faderfox? It would be cool to use the traktor inbuilt mixer.
And i have a problem with it too, its too small and has too many buttons and knobs.
I would like something like Faderfox with bigger and only the knobs and faders that are appearing on a simple scratch/battle mixxer. Something like that:
u cant go wrong with the kontrol x1s build to last and solid performence
btw sorry to jack the thread for a secord does the dicers take 1 or 2 usb ports?
Dicer takes up one port. One is connected to the other (I think).
That is correct.
Dudes, u dont get the point.
I would like to use the mixer in the traktor, so i dont have a real mixer with audio interface, only midi controller + X1 + Dicers
Why so keen on traktors internal mixer?
It works the same way as an external mixer afterall.
If you invested in a controller, e.g. VCI-100 then you wouldnt need a kontrol X1. But the dicers might come in handy for cue points . . . . or a midi fighter 
As far as a bullet proof mixer is concerned, most controllers out there wont reach these standards, aside from the VCI 100 or allen and heath gear.
Personally, im in your situation. But I already have a reloop controller as my mixer. Its good but I want a proper external “bullet proof” mixer. An ecler nuo 2/3, then im gonna use my X1, midi fighter and TT’s to control 3 decks.
But doest that help that im good at soldering and my father is a day-time programmer, so i could do it myself?
ive just bought a pair of Kontrol X1’s and they are a real nice bit of kit, well built well made and so easy to use, im made up with them
Behringer DDM4000 = best of both worlds, midi control and analogue mixer an not too hefty price tag
But… it does have Behringer written on the side. Meaning build quality is likely to be questionable.
True, True .. when it comes to Behringer i’d alomost rather go second hand, like most of the ‘cheapy’ brands if it hasn’t broken already with use it most likely will last …if its gonna break at all it’ll be in the first month or so.
Can’t ditch the fact its HULLALOT of controller / mixer for the money though an yet to hear anything but praise by anyone who’s used one (not that horror stories don’t exist).
Got Amazed by THIS:
Wuhuu, allready got bored of this mixer thing and decided to make it myself.
3 faders, 5X5 arcade buttons, 8 knobs.
Allready bought the arcade buttons.
Now looking for a decent midi interface, faders and knobs.
Could Go with a gamepad ? .. i’m sure someone mentioned one could handle something in the region of 16 faders (or more).. pick one up for under $5 and see what happens 
An old Korg Nanokontrol would make a decent lil ‘brain’ for it too
That thing is friggin cool
Thinking about the Hale UMC32, because im absolutely t00 n00b to solder MidiBox64 together on my one. Any alternatives which have more than 32 inputs?
Also looking for a crossfader under 50$ and some knobs.
