Adding timecode or controller to my setup ?
Adding timecode or controller to my setup ? Posted on: 23.11.2012 by Bibi Janowicz Hi there, first post here Maybe this question has been made countless times, but it's driving me crazy I play electronic music in the vein of Raster noton stuff, but I like to play, and compose, improvising .. it's fun, so some time ago I added TP to my setup, that is : - Ableton Live controlled by Apc40 midi-synced to TP - Maschine inside Live - TP that sends its 4 outputs to 4 tracks in Live - Self built monome 128 to control TP with a Max/msp patch the problem is that I would like to add the jogs, for classical Djing and have a better and more precise way to control FXs .. I'd like to have a visual reference to the deck that's playing .. be it vinyl or pretty lights This is for studio use, and mostly to play my music and/or sample stuff on the fly with the remix decks so the question, what to buy : 1) a controller with lights on jogs ( like the ddj ergo K that seems to be more "serious" than the white version and I found for a nice price) 2) a timecode setup without dj mixer ... so a NI Audio 8 + 2 turntables (something in the price range of Reloops Rp-2000 or 4000 ) .. the Apc40 ( I'm believeing of add an Apc20 to it) will do the mixer job controlling the relative tracks in live ... I can throw in an X1 in the second case, and for sure i'll add a F1 for remix decks in both cases ... I threw in the timecode option for no particular reason, I don't need scratching ... maybe just for the fact that I like the idea and that I can use them to sample from my collection of vinyls ... but if the control is better than a midi controller will be a no brainer ... Excuse my english and thx What do you believe ? | |
