Need Advice Choosing Setup!
So if spent hours amongst endless hours within the past week trying to figure out what controllers i want to use.
Im down to
two x1s
and i want to add an Ipad with the Traktor Dj App
I need advise on what Mixer i would need
Audio Interface i would need.
And Other Equipment I would need to Buy to get the setup going
If you mix internally, you don’t need a mixer.
If you mix externally, you do need a mixer.
If you’re mixing internally, an audio 2 will suffice. If you’re mixing externally, it depends on how many channels your mixer has and you want to use.
AKA, we need more information.
You can’t use X1s with Traktor DJ
Ok Im using the x1 to control traktor pro2 on my laptop
I want to use an Ipad with the Traktor dj app separately as two extra decks. It Will Not be connected to my laptop.
I prefer to mix internally with the x1s
and use the Ipad on the side.
So im thinking thats two channels externally correct?
and i would need a two channel mixer?
You said you want to mix internally. You don’t need a two channel mixer then, that’s for external mixing.
I don’t know how the Traktor DJ app works, so I’m not sure on that aspect.
I was talking about getting a two channel mixer just in case i would want to use one.
question number one:
what do you use at the moment?
Even if i mix internally and i go to a place and there isnt any external mixer would i need to provide an external mixer to connect to the pa system correct?
Or will the Audio Interface be able to connect directly to it?
I think you should always get a 4 channel mixer so you always have the possibility to expand/back up by popping in an ipod or something, but a 2 channel mixer should work.
The audio interface outputs to the PA system.
Will right now im missing with a launchpad
I bought an x1 a feel days ago but haven’t installed it or anything cause im going to return it cause one of the buttons isnt pressing right.
I want to use two x1 for 2 decks each on Traktor pro, and use an ipad with the traktor dj app as two extras on the side.
why not get going what you got?
it sounds like you havent tried hard enough…one button shouldnt stop you from being a DJ…
Get a Xone K2 And use that as your mixer.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with going from a Launchpad to a Traktor x1.
That said, I think two X1s might be a bit overwhelming though.. More is not always better.
list us your gear please…we can direct you…
Laptop/ Traktor Pro
x1
x1
Ipad/Traktor Dj
great!..so now you need a four channel soundcard/mixer…or mix internally…
He only has a Launchpad right now it seems.
He wants to get two X1s and an iPad to DJ with.
Yeah thought about that but I figure I should give x1 a shot since never used it.
Yeah that isnt a problem though. I have saved up for this stuff
If you’ve never used the X1, you should buy just one to see if you really need two.
