X-Session alternative?
X-Session alternative? Posted on: 02.09.2011 by Lizzie Hoesley I'm almost set, and starting to put together some mixes (coming soon) with a Launchpad (2+2 setup) and a nanoKontrol (for fx, deck levels, master, cue, and 9th knob for xfade)The only thing I'm missing is EQ, and I am looking at the M-Audio X-Session controller. Is there anything else like it? It looks cheap, but I just want some knobs (and the xfade would be nice...). It looks like it would be easy to break. Any thoughts? I almost feel like I might as well get some cheapo dj controller (Numark Mixtrack) just for the EQ, and then I'd have some extra buttons (and jogs for fx sweeping) What I really need is something to control EQ [i]in the box[/]. Any thoughts? | |
| Rebecca Moebius 01.09.2011 | i used mine for over a year and i never ran into any problems with it... mind you the faders and knobs arnt the best, but they do the trick and take a beating for a price. |
| Lizzie Hoesley 02.09.2011 | That seems to be an analogue mixer with usb soundcard (like serato mixer without the serrato) I'm trying to stay out of the Faderfox price range I would like some confirmation either way about the quality of the X-Session though - any takers? or other suggestions for alternatives? |
| Kayce Mesia 02.09.2011 | The only alternative I can believe of is some DJ Mixer that can be controlled via USB/MIDI, like DJ-Tech's new X10. Buuuut! That kind of stuff is rather costly. I'm sure there are X-Session users here that can vouch for it's build quality. :P |
