| Anabel Sanderfoot 12.04.2013 | IM Thinking Of Buying A Xone 42. Any advice on External Mixing Vs Internal??? |

Get one program working properly with your current gear before you try to add more. It's like math class at school, you can't learn calculus until you've got algebra down. Do you have any sort of external speakers, or at least headphones? |
| Latoria Kavulich 12.04.2013 | NI devices automatically become the default system device when plugged in. |

| Gaynell Rydberg 11.04.2013 | Why are you trying to run Ableton and Traktor at the same time. Stop trying to do everything!!! |
| Anabel Sanderfoot 11.04.2013 | Im also noticing since i installed traktor pro. Randomly my laptop sound card doesn't work in till i figure out how to fix it. any suggestions there? |
| Anabel Sanderfoot 11.04.2013 | So I installed Traktor pro with x1 today and explored for a while and if now noticed that i can run traktor pro and Ableton Live at the same time . I bought an audio 2 today to, havnt tried it yet. Is there any way around not being able to use ableton live and traktor Pro at the same time? |

C. Freeze is cool, but there's other ways to trigger samples. You aren't Shiftee. He makes everything look easy. That's why NI uses him to sell shit. The dude's a DMC champ. That means he was the baddest motherfucker in the world for a year. Get basic shit. Learn how to use it. Do you have any idea how many thousands of 1200's are collecting dust because people dove straight in before they got their feet wet? I got into dj'ing because my cousin spent his graduation money on decks and they collected dust. Trust me. You don't really even know what kind of music you want to play yet. Get basic shit. Learn the basics and spend money on music. It's really not about having the latest gear. It's about having the best tunes and knowing when and how to play them. |
| Javier Rowinsky 11.04.2013 | [/QUOTE]So i can input an ipad into it using traktor dj app for freeze mode correct?[/QUOTE] Yes, you should be able to. The only thing you won't be able to do is monitor the second track in your headphones. Which you probably won't need since ur just using freeze mode, but I'm just sayin. If you wanted to cue monitor a track, you would either need a headphone jack splitter, or the ipad camera connection kit and an interface. image.jpg This sound correct guys? I'm not a pro at this stuff but it seems like this would work. Imma try it out toevening , traktor dj is pretty cool for an app. Deff not something to use all time normally but i like the touch screen capabilities. I feel like im in a scene from minority report with all this touch screen blinky light goodness |
| Gaynell Rydberg 10.04.2013 | Its up to you if you want to mix 4 decks. |
| Anabel Sanderfoot 10.04.2013 | Novation Twitch vs MC3000 How important are 4 decks? Once I would be able to use it. |
| Eva Scuderi 10.04.2013 | http://fmamdjshop.loja365.com/files/.../mc-3000_2.jpg I've never played MC3000, but from the picture above, I believe you could be able to plug your iPad to Line1 or Line2. |

So i can input an ipad into it using traktor dj app for freeze mode correct? |
| Anabel Sanderfoot 10.04.2013 | Yeah im believeing twitch, or wait for cmd studio 4a for all in one controller twitch allows input from an external device witch is nice I was just told you cant input an external device into the Denon DJ MC3000. Then I just watched a video were a guy was saying you can i believe |

| Ethel Feigum 10.04.2013 | worry about learning to dj first. |
| Ethel Feigum 10.04.2013 | You are all over the place bro! I love your enthusiasm, but pop a ritalin or somethin! You've barely begun your journey into djing, don't worry about gigging yet. It totally depends on where the gig is, and what type of gig it is. |
| Anabel Sanderfoot 10.04.2013 | Another question. How much room is there usually for all in one set ups at gigs? Is it something to consider? I know modular set ups generally consume less space. |
| Kellie Myrum 10.04.2013 | I'll remember this thread for sure. |
| Ethel Feigum 10.04.2013 | Yeah, 700 posts! This thread really got my post count up! |
| Ethel Feigum 10.04.2013 | depends on how good you are. It is harder. If you want to learn to beatmatch (which you should, if you want to be a dj) you are better off with jog wheels. |
| Anabel Sanderfoot 10.04.2013 | How hard is it to beatmatch two songs together without johwheels? |

There's no need to spend all 800 dollars now. |
| Ethel Feigum 10.04.2013 | Go to a Guitar Center and put your hands on some stuff! Where are you located? Find some folks on this community who live close by and set up a meeting to check out their gear! Get any cheap all i one controller and learn on it! |
| Kellie Myrum 10.04.2013 | Put it on the fridge or somewhere |

| Kellie Myrum 10.04.2013 | 4A has audio interface built in. Or you want to grab Traktor with Audio 2? |

| Kellie Myrum 10.04.2013 | I'm believeing if this mode can be incorporated in TP... Wouldn't it be funny if NI come up with some hardware for this and keep it locked for other controllers |
