What to get ? Macbook pro yes !! help need what spec and what controller for traktor Posted on: 19.12.2012 by Ayako Brumitt no doubt it has been asked a thousand times before but i need to get back into djing and production had a few releases and been on a few djalbum compilations but i need a new setup, so i ask for a dj setup for traktor what controller i should get and what spec macbook also i like the look of having a midifighter pro what would that cost to ship to the uk. With regards to the mac i would wanna smash the hell out of the controller too so 4 decks or 2 decks and sample decks etc so i'm guessing not to look at a i5 model !!! | |
| Noelia Martig 27.12.2012 | I'll throw my 2 cents into this. From a CCNA/CCNP/CCIE Network Engineer Perspective I have ran Traktor Pro Scratch 2.03 - 2.6 flawlessly with no bugs. I sometimes run it in conjunction with Ableton routing Traktor Audio into Ableton Flawlessly. My set up includes. APC40 Fully Mapped out, 2 Techniques 1200s. My audio card is a DJM900NXS. My laptop is a Asus g72gx (Gamers Replublic) Using Windows 7 My specs are: Processor & Cache Memory: Intel |
| Felisha Dashner 27.12.2012 | There are lots of Ultrabook style laptops on the market now for half the price of a MBP with identical hardware spec if not slightly better which I would of thought would be more than adequate. You may need to downgrade a Windows 8 machine though if you decide against Apple, I find Windows 8 a little sketchy atm as expected. Take this Ultrabook for example ; http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/asus-s...56521-pdt.html I know it's from PC world but for |

| Caridad Fan 30.12.2012 | I have a macbook pro for my work and overall use but I was believeing since I'll restart my life on djing I should go now digital. I don't really believe I should be using my work macbook since you can screw it with the tobacco on the air, spills (i don't see this happen but...). I have noticed someone here talking about an Asus ultrabook but for the price you can get a used Macbook have you ever thought about it? I love the Macs for being fair since I work with them and it's my main work solution. Always used Windows and switched to work with Mac but on the djing matter... well... you only use one software (in my case) and even if you use more the software is always the same and to djing you won't touch the notebook very often. So... with this in account, what cheap notebooks are there that are interesting look and would run flawlessly traktor? |
| Lauretta Ehrhorn 29.12.2012 | I run a late 2010 i5 MBP with 8gb ram and SSD for system. I run timecode with multiple midi controllers. Everything works a treat. Hope this puts any concerns to rest. |

| Rena Estabrook 19.12.2012 | I'd stay away from the 2012 13" MBP if you plan to use the audio in port. |

Or you could just not get a MBP and save yourself a ton a of money for a windows laptop with equal, if not greater power. |
| Ayako Brumitt 19.12.2012 | i aim to get 8 ram and a ssd drive what about controller an s4 a vestax vci 400 or anything else, would i be able to add a midi fighter pro onto anyother hardwhere , would a ddj sx which is a serato controller be mapped good to traktor? |
| Kasandra Kreindler 19.12.2012 | yea that would be good, try and get 8GB of RAM just for being able to run multiple programs and, if you can afford it retina display would deff help as i have the 15" (non-retina) and its managable but deffinitly wouldnt mind extra screen real estate as it starts getting cramped with having all 4 decks and FX on the screen and trying to look through your library for the next song, but i could just be spoiled from using my main desktop as my traktor machine for awhile before i bought my MBP (it had a 23" Dell Ultrasharp) |
| Ayako Brumitt 19.12.2012 | cheers for the reply , i've been looking at a i5 model this year or last and add a ssd myself would that been good enough i'm guessing |
| Kasandra Kreindler 19.12.2012 | get the macbook pro you can afford, but im able to do 3 decks with one additional deck for remixset/F1 plus FX, all while recording in traktor and get great latency with a 2.53 Intel Core2Duo MBP with 4GB RAM, plan on adding a maschine to the mix as well |
