27.08.2011 Launchpad LED problems??2927.07.2012
Mapped the LP to 4 decks in Traktor 2 Pro, 8 hotcues per deck, a play button per deck, beat jumps, and a couple other things, like loops activate on the scene launch buttons on the side. Everything else (mixer/fx wise) I'm doing on a korg nanoKontrol. Has anyone mapped a LaunchPad to Traktor?…
25.07.2012 Traktor S4 or numark's 4Track?827.07.2012
I've been recently debating whether I am going to buy the S4 or the 4track. Both seem like very good controllers, but I can't seem to figure out which one is better for me. The reason I like the S4 is that it has complete and utter functionality with traktor pro/Its very versatile mapping-wise/…

26.07.2012 Guys with the Novation Twitch, how low's your latency?026.07.2012
Hey guys, Coming from the S4, I had a pretty low latency in TP like 9ms.. now with the Twitch, same settings, I only get 18ms.. and dropping my sample rate to get a lower latency asks so much that it crackles. Is it from the Twitch being usb-powered only?
15.02.2010 Vestax TR1 vs VCI-100SE1226.07.2012
Guys can anyone give me some advice on the difference between these controllers? Currently I have the VCI-100SE and I like it but I'm very tempted by the TR1. It's specifically made for Traktor pro and I believe it looks a little more user friendly than the VCI for the functions of Traktor. I'm only…

23.07.2012 Can Serato get along with it and make the bridge with itch already?023.07.2012
Honestly whats the eta on the bridge with ITch, because it is the biggest factor of whether I buy the twitch or remote zero sl mkII. I'm leaning toward remote zero just because of no the bridge part of itch, mayb if twitch was cheaper I'd consider it without the bridge, but need the bridge in…
