Once you start to discover what you can do on traktor you will be itching for another midi. The kontrol x1 is a good addition as you can use it as an EQ panel and map the other buttons to whatever you like. edit: In response to effects, I use hardly any. I am more for letting the song play by itself because the producers know what they are doing. You can do a lot with EQ. But for effects I have one multi-effect that sounds like a swooshing which i hardly use, a delay function with freeze which can be handy for changing from one track to a very different one, then I use reverb, peak, and formant filter alone occasionally. I only really use them if I mess up and need to fill the air with something. I generally find them risky though. edit: In response to mappings/modifiers below, I don't use modifiers, I don't even though what they are to be honest. Mapping works fine for me, but it's a long process to learn. It also depends on your set-up, some work different than others. It also depends if you are using Traktor LE or Traktor Pro. With LE, you can only map certain midis. With Pro, you can map near anything. The APC40 is actually an Ableton controller, but I use it fully for Traktor. edit: assuming modifiers are for multiple mappings for a single button/knob/fader? Yhea, modifieres are for multiple mappings, kinda like the shift key on your keyboard making a--->A, b-->B. btw, when you are mixing in and out, you solely rely on the EQs? :S. can you tell me if you use the reverb/peak/formant filter under chained or advanced? and is there anyway i can get more effects. I'm assumin you are using traktor pro ^^ | ||

I'm assumin you are using traktor pro ^^ Yeah for 95% of the transitions in general I rely solely on EQs. I don't believe I touched an effect in the last mix. The reverb/peak/formant are in the chained option but I use them only by themselves but just turning on the single effect itself and messing around with the dry/wet and the single parameter of that effect. Yeah I use traktor pro, you want MORE effects though? Are you using Pro or LE? Because in pro there are something like 18 different effects which is way more than necessary (however you don't get that Jet effect from the pioneer mixers which you hear a lot in others mixes, but I think you can combine 2-3 from traktor to make that effect). If you combine more than 1 there are endless effects. In LE (limited edition) however, there are only 6 effects I believe. | ||

how do you select tracks for your mix? do you juts kinda do it on the fly, or plan it out? | ||
