Reply to NI Traktor F1 & X1

Hello everyone!

I have a question about the recently made F1 NI controller. I have been leaning towards buying it because I have for some time wanted to buy the NI Maschine. I know completely that it's far from those two being the same, for example not being able to use the F1 for production, but what would be a better choice, if the creativity in mixing is what I'm looking for as the most important factor?

Also, I'm interested in how the F1 will cope with the X1. The problem is that I am using MacBook Pro which only has 2 USB plug-ins that I use for the mixer and the X1. I have already bought an USB-hub, but I had some power supply problems through the USB-hub for the X1 (it wasn't responding, freezing, etc.). Would you perhaps know of any really powerful hubs with which I could solve this problem?

Thank you for all your replays!
