traktor A6 X1
thinking of getting these in a few weeks time dose any one know of any good vids on mixing with these seen some that cover the FX on the X1 but nothing on general mixing
thanx
Dunno how well mixing on just an X1 works. I think you might wants something to control EQs. I’m sure there are mappings out there, but it might be better if you pick up an external mixer with it.
X1 is fantastic though for deck control. Easy to control FX, and the buttons feel good.
I play out all the time with just my X1 and A8. And it’s great for a minimal setup!
No need to worry about EQ’ing in Traktor because you should be using the EQs on the mixer.
take a look at my mapping. good for just jamming in internal mode. DJ TechTools - Jester's X1 MkIII (2 Deck, FX & Mixer Modes, Preparation)
I haven’t tried using just an X1 in internal mode, but an X1 or two with an external mixer is a great setup.
I have got decks and a mixer I want to get the a6 DVS I was thinking about getting the X1 aswell
It’ll work absolutely great then!
Awesome little controller to control the loading decks and FX.
wold I be better of getting the X1 mk2 when it comes out
Why not just get a z1 and an x1?
Because he already has a mixer?
I made a mapping to use the x1 as a mixer when i show up and theres a three channel mixer and i need all four. Its not bad at all. I have shift+knob 1 for gain, knob 1 for volume, and 234 for eq with two pages for effects.
Didn’t see his second post. A6 is an awesome idea then.
I do have a mixer yes
are there any vids on mixing with the x1 and DVS
I take it I will still be able to mix CDs and vinyl as well as the DVS timecode
You might want to invest in some Traktor multicore cables if you want to mix regular CD+vinyl without having to reconnect wires or rely on the often complained about direct-thru mode.
When u record a mix on traktor dose add the track names
should begetting this in a couple weeks yay
how long are the usb cables that they come with im using a desktop instead of a laptop and I need longish ones to reach were my tower is
I don’t know about 3 feet
x1 is a great piece of gear & you can purchase longer cables to fit your needs.
