DJ'n Controllers - What have you got / do?

[quote]ICN (26/04/2011)[hr]

How easy is it to control 4 decks with one x1? Is it a case of tabbing the page & you are on decks C & D?

Can you easily use the rotaries as faders or Xfader?

Dumb q’s probably, but I dont know an awful lot about it :hehe:[/quote]

 

Out of the box it will only control 2 decks and not the cross fader, but it can be reprogrammed to do what you want, but you will lose some functions to gain others. The are loads of user configs for the X1:

Cool Ant - You’ve been fantastically helpful - Have a great day Man! :slight_smile: :cool:

Given me lots of stuff to think about there

I think I may get X1 very very soon :slight_smile:

They seem to be the Biz alright :cool:

@slender Um ok, looking forward to it :w00t:

@ICN I can understand your reluctance with the X1. Really it is best with an external mixer, and you need an audio interface. If you use the Audio 2 with it you can’t connect your deck, and if you use an external mixer you can’t record your set (when using an external mixer you need to take a line out of the mixer and in to the Audio interface).

All that said it is really excellent, and if you can make it work then it is worth it.

Well… I think I’m going to sell some sh!t that I’m not using.

Have some stuff that I’m going to stick up on Ebay… I’ll have to put an extra few €$£ into it I think.

Going to sell a 1210 - probably, maybe. I cant see myself buying records again… but I dont know about not being able to play around with the records that I do have.

Decisions, decisions… Anyway, dont forget to record that kiss for us :wink: :hehe:

Do not do it. Do not do it. Do not do it.

Sell other stuff, but always keep the 1210 :cool:

LOL @ 1210

I know… Its been killing be for years whether to do it or not!

For controller wise at the moment I am using a MBP running ableton, a apc20 for setting off my tracks, samples and fx’s, then all that goes threw a my usb soundcard what then goes into a normal DJ mixer so I can mix normally!

Going to give traktor a go when I go back to college as can midi map the apc20 to control it so I won’t have to touch my macbook and can use that in the same way!

:cool:

i still have 3 1200’s and was thinking to sell also but the value you get from it nowadays is just crap… I prefer to keep them for now…

Well thats it Mate…

Going rate here is about €200. For nothing. 

Pity… Mine are absolutely spotless. Not even a scratch on the Dustcovers. Really well looked after. Never partied or anything. There was always others easier to convince to do that :wink:

Had someone offer me  €150 the other day. FCK off! :slight_smile:

Nah… Think I’ll keep them. I’ve got some other stuff  that I’m gonna sell.

I’ve just taken my 1210 down from sale :smiley:

Fk it.

Damn I was just going to put a grand bid on it oh well



What else are you selling - I’ll take the cat :slight_smile:

Well played.

 

The new price of 1210s have gone up because they have stopped making them. Eventually the second hand price will go up too. But you still shouldn’t sell them even when they are worth loads.

They are a piece of classic design that mean a huge amount to people are age. When you are 80 you will be glad you still have them.

One day they will be on antiques roadshow.

I was thinking about a Syncrosoft Dongle with 5 synths… Dont use them enough.

Rob Papen - Albino / Blue / Subboombass… Arturia - Jupiter & Moog V.

They’re all on the same dongle.  Find myself using samples & fx now more than anything… Synthwise - have Sylenth… and of course, theres all the Logic ones too. 

They’ll hopefully be much easier to sell in one big megadeal… Thats the plan! :)

Can you imagine the expert that they’ll have valuing them? :hehe:

i use a bcd 3000 with traktor



i love it - have one of the jog wheels to scroll thru the library and have buttons mapped to load tracks on to the 4 decks



never touch the mouse in traktor ever now



have it mapped for ableton too (use it alongside the launchpad)



the soundcard element was what swung it for me but i reckon its a really good controller

What are you running the BCD on Chekka?

PC or Mac? Which OS? :cool:
