A first for me yesterday

A first for me yesterday Posted on: 14.08.2013 by Hellen Mindrup Last evening I finally got the chance to spin without any tables and just two X1's... Me and my buddy both have a single X1 each and we finally decided to just run them solo with his DJM 850, and I'll tell you what it was a lot of fun. It was our first time for the two of us and we were able to jump right in and mix 4 tracks at once without using sync.. Just loops and a lot of focus lol. Took a few minutes to get used to but not bad at all. I felt like Felix da Housecat last evening . TL;DR version: I can spin with two X1's now. /thread
Hellen Mindrup 15.08.2013	Originally Posted by lucidstrings Remapping the x1 to use the a knob for pitch control works fairly well. I'm kind on this same page of why use sync when you can do it yourself. Plus playing out I have far more respect for other people that don't use sync. If I look over and see sync usually I pre determine a few things. Such ad you likely can't dj without a computed. Or your set will likely be filled with subpar tracks,mixing, likely have offbeat problems.... Sad I do that but it is usually first few thoughts. Mine too, but apparently that makes us snobs. I am turned off by it greatly unless I see you doing some complex mixing, running 4 decks, looping tracks, etc. But assigning a knob for pitch bend actually might not be a bad idea, I haven't attempted to use a single mapping yet outside of the standard one. I'll have to look into it.

Jerica Salava 14.08.2013	how the hell do you pitch control without SYNC on the X1?
Dia Laryea 14.08.2013	Nice man, I would've panicked if I didn't have a mixer available.
