[Recommend me which Dj Controller is beTTer]

I’ve heard about the Geminis having some problems. Mixdeck is okay actually. Note that its Midi is not full Midi, the mixer section is not included. Just to inform you. I’ve tried the Ndx 800s and they’re quite okay.

I use a numark omni control and would highly recommend it for traktor pro 2, with the right mapping it seems like it was made for traktor

Many thanks!

Im sorry im not a big fan of sharing that kind of stuff, its what makes my dj sets unique, there are many mappings out there on google if you search around, I spent many many hours making that perfect and if people arent willing to do that themselves (which is all part of the job), should you really be a digital dj?? its kinda like going to a club and getting someone to plug in your cdj’s, your mixer, get all the levels right, load the cd’s for you etc….

erm, alright then fair point, a mapping I will recommend is one by a dj called stormeagle he has a site were he shares it. if you search dj stormeagle on google you should find it.

In my case its not too good to share it as I have one big mapping for all my controllers instead of several different ones, I do this so I can use other controllers as shift keys for each other so it would in all honesty look like a mess to you and have 7/8ths of functions pointless as you wouldnt have the controllers to use them.

Ive used stormeagles in the past and my current mapping is very similar just a lot more complicated but yeah that is one I would say to check out, the only thing you might want to change is the fx layout as he has the dry wet at the bottom and doesnt seem natural to me.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the recommendation – managed to get it.

If people want to get lazy they really shouldnt be trying to get into this industry. Ive spent hundreds of hours to get my mapping how I wanted it, that took time and dedication. I will gladly help someone with mapping issues but dont think I should provide something I put a lot of time into. Its kind of like asking “hey can I borrow your mixtape so I can try get gigs?”.

People really need to stop getting lazy the same way people get pissed off when they ask what a song is and I dont tell them, I spend several hours a week searching for tunes that stand out. If people want these songs they need to put in the same time otherwise in all honesty I think people are attempting to jump into the deep end for the wrong reason (girls, money and being able to say “im a dj”)

Amen Brother

The question you just answered got my back up just a little bit too!
Traktor maps the Omni control rather well, everything on the control surface does what it says, the jog wheel jogs, the dry wets do there shiz, loop buttons work, the top effects buttons scroll through the effects and select the focused deck, the pitch faders do just that and the eq’s and kills all work fine and the LEDS light up. Just plug it in.
But mapping? That’s highly personal.
For me in Traktor the Omnicontrol is essentially out the box, but in VDJ i spent a day making things do what i want them to do, and a virtual stranger asking me for a rip off of that, you might as well ask me for a ten minute ride on my Mrs.
Trust me, it aint gonna happen!

We’re obviously from different generations, in my time you strove to educate yourself further, above and beyond the basic groundwork given at school. You earned this extra knowledge with your own hard graft
It seems in the last few years a culture of “Want it now, Need it now Gonna get it now” – with zero, or little at best, attempt to earn it has drifted in to attitudes.
We aint saying we wont help you, we will, but dont expect us to wholesale roll over and casually give you everything we have worked hard to gain.

Its the same thing as those very teachers in your own analogy filling in all the grade test papers for each and every pupil and all of them pupils getting straight A’s
What happens when all those straight A pupils hit the real world of work, and are faced with a problem?
They wont have a clue how to solve that problem because their teachers CHEATED THEM
If you fail to understand the point im trying to get across here, the problem really is yours, im afraid
