Oh man…I have fallen back in love with Traktor <3
Quick story here. Was loving Itch for the longest time. New ideas/visions/goals forced me to look into using Traktor again (my rookie years started with an X-session pro and Trigger Finger in Traktor → moved on to Itch later).
I don’t know why but I feel lke the VCI-300mkII is just the best controller in the world. The way many of you love your s4’s and VCI-100se arcardes, I love my VCI-300mkII similarly. As a travelling grad student, size and portability mean the most to me. With the 300, I get the small size and don’t lose the Vestax solid and robust quality.
I soon realized that the VCI-300 can be used in Traktor as well (totally forgot haha). I popped in Flashflooder’s mapping (also edited by Haze324) tonight and I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY. I was so in love with Itch that I thought I’d never go back to Traktor and was really hesitant about switching software. But wow, I didn’t realize what I was really missing out on. I was very hesitant to run the 300mkII with Traktor bc I knew I wouldn’t get the same 1-to-1 functionality as something like the s2/s4. But I’m back in love with Traktor and I don’t think I’ll be going back to Itch for a while. I’m happy that I’m actually enjoying Traktor on the VCI-300. I never thought I would.
Juggle mode, slicer mode, Instant FX modes all on the VCI-300! I haven’t even wrapped my head around the mapping yet. 3 physical cues on the controller have now turned into 6 physical cue points! There were posts about losing some jog wheel functionality, but I think they’re working perfectly fine.
I feel like a little kid who just got a brand new beast of a controller. It was great in Itch, but now it’s even better in Traktor. I know I’m late to the VCI-300/Traktor game but I just wanted to share my happiness!! So glad I didn’t have to sell my 300 and buy a new s2/s4.
Many thanks to Flashflooder and as always, the entire DJTT community. TP2 here we gooooooooo
