I was thinking about getting a X1 along side with the Mixtrack, and maybe I will so I have 2 questions:
1. Does the X1 have sound card?
2. Can I just connect the X1 and the mixtrack pro with USB and they will both work on traktor together?
Anyways, another option is to sell my mixtrack pro and get a X1 (cheaper). Do you think it’s worth it? Or the Mixtrack Pro alone is better than the X1 alone? And if I’ll get a X1 alone, will I need a sound card?
Thanks!
Edit:
What do you think of Midi Fighter? Should I get it instead the X1 alongside the Mixtrack?
Firstly the X1 has no sound card, so if you wanted to ditch your Mixtrack Pro you would need to purchase an additional sound card.
Secondly, you can use both your Mixtrack Pro and the X1 together by simply connecting them both into spare USB ports.
Midi Fighter is a great piece of kit, however using this will not solve the problem of having access to more effects control as it only has buttons and no knobs.
I had the Mixtrack pro as my first controller. I decided I wanted to change / upgrade for the same reason you are now describing. I went through the same thoughts as you as well where I thought I should add a controller to compliment the MTP. However in the end I decided that I wanted a simple setup with one controller and decided on looking for an all in 1 solution to control TP2. I choose the S4 as it had everything I wanted and more that I could learn over time.
Another reason why I choose the S4 is that using just the X1 would have been fine for now, but at some point I would want to upgrade again.
