VCI-100SE and Kontrol X1?? 4 Decks
Posted on: 12.06.2011 by Willy Mizak
Hey guys

I was wondering if anyone has a VCI-100SE & Kontrol X1, and how well they work together? I'm trying to get into 4 deck mixing, and I just want more room, its a pain in the ass mixing more than 2 decks on the VCI

-If you do have this set up, do you use an external mixer?
-What other controllers are there that I could use for 4 deck mixes, other than the Kontrol X1?

Any other comments and suggestions would be appreciated!!

preferably a controller with a mixer section as well, and not too expensive lol (but still good quality)

I just wish i could get a mixer section on the x1

The only other thing I can believe of is get an X1 and map it to act as EQ/filter for decks C+D, then maybe map the browse or loop knobs as channel volume faders.

14.06.2011		Thanks for the reply,
can you easily use/set up the vci and x1 together in traktor?
Tatum Ansaldo
12.06.2011		I have both, but I don't mix with 4 decks so I can't help you out on that front. If I were going to be doing 4 deck mixing with both however, I'd definitely want to use an external mixer so I'd have EQ, level and gain on all 4 channels.

edit: and by the way, welcome to the community !
