    Ok, so I guess I can just disregard that. Thanks for the help guys.
    I’ll let you all know how it goes once I get it installed.

    …Looking at that set up I’m guessing that you can assign Traktor decks to separate channels on the mixer and have separate EQ’s…which is what I was after….

    Which is precisely how I use my set.

    Lol about the SYNC ! Gotta give the haters something to complain about !

    Mate when you use the X1 in a club setting..(laptop + X1 + sound card) into the club mixer. Does it play out of
    one channel on the club mixer or can you assign your tracktor decks to separate mixer channels ? I’m just thinking in terms
    of have separate EQ control for each track.

    Also can you please give me some idea of what Ill need to connect to what and the number and type of cables I’ll need ?

    Sorry for bombarding you with all these questions mate !

    No problem, I don’t mind the questions.

    Currently, I don’t have a NI sound card, my mixer (see signature) handles that function, so I can just show up and either:
    a) Swap out the club’s mixer. (depending if the other DJs will want to use my mixer and if I’m the first DJ up) or
    B) I can just plug my mixer into the club’s mixing board. (the last time I tried to do this, the promoter nearly had a fit!)

    For me B is the best option as it takes least amount of time.

    As for using a soundcard with Traktor pro:

    Cub installation (Direct Thru)

    Internal mixer

    External mixer

    More information can be found on Native Instruments website.

How do you adjust your tempo when using just an X1 and external mixer ? Do you do it directly on your laptop ? I guess that’s one advantage of the DC-2000 over the X1.

    In Traktor you can adjust the pitch using your laptop or you could map them to your Kontrol X1s.

    I prefer to disable the pitch faders in Traktor as this allows me to see more of the track wave form.
    I Synch (yes, I know the EVIL SYNCH button) my decks to the internal Clock Master in Traktor. Then I can use the Kontrol X1s to pitch bend (press the Shift button and then use the Beat/Bend buttons) when a track drifts out of synch, which happens more often than not.

    If only SYNCH worked as good as it’s detractors say it does… :rolleyes:

    You would still need time code for Traktor Scratch. Unless you’re using the Denon DN-S3700, those will generate a
    2KHz sine wave for DVS purposes.

    With (Kontrol X1 + Traktor certified mixer) the only thing you need the CDJ’s for is the pitch fader really ?

    I’m not using CDJ’s or Turntables. I only mentioned that fact that I can because it’s option should I need to go back to CDs or Vinyl. Which honestly, I don’t see me doing at all.

    i’ve only raced or track day’d 2wd drives, front and rear wheel drive so i’m no expert mind.

    Actually what happened was, he went a bit too hot into that turn, clipped the FIA curb and the car went end over end.
    Cage definitely saved his life!

    And by the way, it’s an AWD not a 4WD. And yes, there IS a difference.

    How could he be so stupid as to have the visor off… A piece of glass could have flung through and left him blind…

    A lot of guys do this. Mainly because of glare.

    Just because he was alive. 🙂
    Nice way to turn an expensive (not Porsche or Ferrari expensive, but still) race car into scrap metal. 😮
    Turn 9 at Willow Springs is a monster! Go on youtube and search Willow Springs Crash. Most are at turn 9.

    That same driver STILL races though.

    I am wondering what he kept doing with his ‘Body Weight’ on the Corners though; he wasn’t driving a Motorcycle ?

    Probably shifting around in his seat. Racing seats suck for comfort.

    He was doing So Well (I Hope it wasn’t You Subculture :)); but he wasn’t really Following the Racing Line; and I think the ‘Apex’ on the Corners was something he had Forgotten About 😉

    To be fair, it was 1. His first time at that track. And 2. His first time in that car.
    Keep in mind that was a practice run, not an actual race.

    Good thing he was in a caged car.
