pretty much the same thing I've been doing, except I use Faderfox's because of their small size instead of the 1D's.. and I have to integrate with whatever club mixer is at the venue (I use xone:92 at home). It's a good setup. I converted over from Ableton - which I had down pretty good - but you really have to concentrate and squint and it's clumsy to view the waveform views for each of the tracks.

why not use ableton live instead
you can grab more than just 4 tracks at a time
and syncing is much easier
Richie probably got Traktor for free?

Saw a link to this vid posted recently in the 'Digweed going digital' thread. Sick vid though and deserves to be posted again. Awesome set-up, only wish I could afford it!
I think Traktor is heaps of fun to use with midi controllers and I use both it and Ableton too coz ableton has many features that Traktor doesn't. Would love to know if Hawtin is just using this set-up exclusively or if he still does use ableton? I think that's a Native Instruments promo vid by the way.
He said in that video that he uses Live for his effects machine.
And yes, it's a promo video for Traktor so I doubt he'd go into much detail on how much he uses Live.

Can someone pls share a set of his that explains why he is so hyped up?
Not being negagive, just never heard anything from him and I hear his name all the time.

I'll see if I can track down links to his Mysteryland set from last year (or was it two years ago now?), and his set from DEMF this last year was pretty solid (and is circulating).
If I can track down links quickly, I'll post them.
using this technology might be actually useful for his purposes (syncing up with other minus guys) but its nothing really new.. most of what hes done is just clever midi mapping. and the result is way too clean in my opinion, i didnt like his "djing" @ circle of love. his sound would fit to those 90s intel clean room commercials. everything is just so perfectly in time... but maybe thats the hawtin philosophy and i just dont like it
