24.07.2013 Stand alone controllers?431.07.2013
Id like a standalone controller that dosent require a laptop. Besides the XDJ lineup, Mixdeck Quad, and SCS 4DJ whats best? Are there other viable options? The XDJ Aero can connect to CDJ and turntables (big plus), can any other do that?
30.07.2013 Probably best to wait right?030.07.2013
I was just about to repurchase gear and get back into Traktor. I was looking at an s4 or z2 with a couple x1's, but with all these price drops it seems like something new might be coming out? Should I wait until September before I do anything? Or are these normal summer price drops?

As already mentioned in my MBA vs. MBP thread, I wanna go for NI's Maschine MK2.

so i was playing a little gig the other evening and one of the faders on my apc 40 started to move on its own within ableton. fader 3 is mapped to the volume on channel 3 so when i moved it up or down it would follow but then when i stopped moving it it would jump around on its own for a little.…
21.07.2013 Would you still buy the Xone K2 with the upcoming Kontrol X1 mk2?822.07.2013
Hey, I want to add a smaller controller to my VCI-400 as I'm running out of mapping space (especially knobs). Right now, I'm balancing the A&H Xone K2 and the Kontrol X1 mk2 with advantage for the K2. First, it's cheaper than the X1, but especially the internal audio interface is what turns me…
14.07.2013 Pioneer cdj 800 mk2 or gemini cdj 700?1021.07.2013
Heey, Not sure whether to get a set of pioneer 800 mk2's or gemini 700's, I like the idea of midi on the 700's but you can use traktor with the mk2's if you get a timecode kit right? And What are the pro's and con's of both? Cheers

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has ever modded their nano pad by adding some pots to it. I primarily use Serato which makes the x/y pad pretty much useless. I opened up my nano pad today and examined the x/y pad and came up with a few questions to ask you guys before I purchase zif cables…

Hello..... After 3 years of trouble free playing, the crossfader started to crackle out - during a gig too! I opened up the housing and pulled out the crossfader and cleaned as best I could - didn't make much difference. Here's what is happening: - The left channel will stay at full…

Hi all...first time poster, long time follower! I currently own a Stanton SCS System 3 MIDI controller running Traktor Pro. Despite the lack of support, and Stanton's takeover by Gibson (which is akin to banging your head to a Republican wall), I'm quite happy with my setup, except that I never…

Anyone using this as a super portable setup? I've seen that Traktor DJ runs fine on the iPad mini, but wanted to make sure that it would be reliable enough to gig with. Big gigs I would still use my MBP + controller, but this looks like a very fun way to have a portable setup. Will the iPad mini…

22.11.2011 Reloop IQ2 MIDI1808.07.2013
I'm looking for any and all info on this mixer. I'm surprised there isn't more talk of this guy around here. Supposedly it's traktor ready but that could be outdated. Can be used as a analogue mixer or a full on midi controller, including the effects section. Seems like a decent deal considering…
