A couple of things. I have the same laptop, well an older version mines about 4 years old, runs perfectly tho. The studio xps are good laptops they are business class ones so generally.
Nemonic who cares who he works for!!! I dont I care how sucsessfull he is I care how good he is. Maybe ur a big jonus brothrs fan!!
He hasnt got the setup layed out in a very logical way. I think its plain for every1 to see. However loads of controllers can be very good especially if you run two normal decks and 8 sample decks.
PS how do you know he works for NI. Did you meet him at stanton. I didnt know NI folks where allowed to talk to stanton. SCS1D that would of been a good controller. SORRY ABOUT THIS WATCHED THE VIDEO YDAY AND COMMENTED TODAY 4GOT BOUT THAT
I understand the want for the extra X1’s when using an S4, no need to worry about what decks you currently have selected, and you have instant access to all four FX units. That part makes sense to me.
And he could do what a lot of other DJ’s do with the maschine. They have Ableton Running on the same laptop in the background and just have all the audio routed internally. That would make the most sense and that’s what I’m looking to do as soon as I scoop up a new controller that I like for Ableton.
Wow, didn’t think giving your opinion in a discussion forum would be met with such hostility. :eek:
I am very sorry to have pissed you off, as it was not intentional.
Never said he wasn’t talented, sucessful, etc. and you are right, my opinion doesn’t matter.
None of my posts were intended as negative, and I don’t think they were. Looking back on all the posts by everyone, only one seems to be a really negative comment, but still, that is that persons opinion, and this is a discussion forum. Just because some one doesn’t agree with the set up does not make the comment negative. So the perception of negativity in this thread is a bit overblown in my opinion. If you don’t agree that is ok too, as everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.
Also my last comment to you included that I have nothing but respect for Endo, and I was nothing but nice and respectful to you, only to have your barbed comment(the most negative thing in this thread) thrown back at me.
Anyway, I posted the video because I liked all the shiny NI equipment all working together, and thought others would like to see it also. I also gave my opinion of the set up as this is a discussion forum,and we are dicussing the set up in the video.
I appologize profusely if anything I have posted has offended you or anyone else, or is construed as negative.
I agree with VanGogo. If it works for Endo then that’s great, but there’s many more possibilities with all that equipment than what he’s got it mapped to do.
Haha it looks cool i guess. Dont need the s4 tho. I think he was bored and wanted to do something. And the dell is cool, at least it isnt a mac…but i knw all the mac guys are gonna be hating on that
A couple of explanations from Endo from the YT page
“The reason why I use the Pioneer with the S4 is because I noticed when using the S4 as a soundcard there is latency. Ex. when the mix sounds “on” in the headphones, its actually “off” in the house system. So what I do is use the S4 to adjust tracks that haven’t been beatgridded perfectly, and since all the audio is routed through the pioneer, there is no latency. I know it sounds like a lot of effort just for a few milliseconds of latency but it really makes a difference when I play”
"See my previous comment regarding why I use the S4 with the Pioneer. I much prefer using the Pioneer Mixer because I am not a fan of the "in the box" sound, and there is some latency when using the S4 unfortunately. I think this is something Native Instruments will be improving in the future. I actually use no modifiers in the mapping. They are all MIDI (LED) output commands in my Maschine mapping. "
"This video was made to show that you CAN use all of these controllers together and get them to work flawlessly on a PC. I wouldn’t necessarily travel with all of this gear, but if I would I could! I love using every controller for its own thing. S4 for pitch bend and filters, X1 for browsing and hotcues, Maschine for Magic Sync Macro and beatjump & FX. "
