Cosmetic mods to my VCI, Help?
Cosmetic mods to my VCI, Help? Posted on: 25.10.2009 by Al Henger Alright, so I just got my vci, and I've gotten it to work with ean's mapping in traktor 1.2 (with the noted firmware issues, darn them being unavailable).I'm probably going to spring for the overlay soon, but for the time being, I've decided I want to just mod the 2 removable metal faceplates. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I should go about painting them, applying labels, and insuring that the labels dont wear off? As of right now, I've removed the bottom faceplate, and applied a black matte spraypaint finish to the back side. I figure I'll be able to label the buttons with silver sharpie, and then spray a matte lacquer or some other sealant over it... thats the part I have yet to figure out. | |

| Al Henger 26.10.2009 | Well... I was going to pick up an overlay when the firmware upgrades became available again. just trying to cut down on shipping hehe. I've actually almost memorized the mapping (only had my vci for a coupe of days) with the exception of fader mode, which I have yet to use. I guess I kind of just like to diy, the black plates on silver kind of looks snazzy imo... |
| Lynell Farmakis 26.10.2009 | I'd just buy the overlay if you using eans mapping bro... By the time you've bought laquer etc it'll probly only wrk out an extra tenner to get it |
