Ok guys so I am deciding on MIDI controller/controllers to use with Traktor 3 and Ableton Live
I did a search and some reading up...ideally I would like something to assign loops to and at same time use for mixing. I am slowly working towards more software use lately but I am still running a solid Dj setup.
(1) DJM600
(2) CDJ 800's
(2) Numark TT's
Final Scratch 2
Traktor 2 and now am using Traktor 3
So after searching I found a bunch of GOOD MIDI CONTROLLERS... any input from you TA's on PROS/CONS
M-AUDIO X-SESSION PRO DJ MIDI MIXER
NOVATION X-STATION 49
M-Audio OZONE 25
Behringer BCF2000
M-Audio Axiom 49 MIDI Controller
THanks in advanced for help! |

Here are some others to check out:
Vestax VCI-100 and VCM-100 http://www.vestax.com/v/index.html The VCI-100 is probably the best unit available right now, for Traktor anyway.
Allen & Heath Xone:2D and Xone:1D - announced but I'm not sure if available yet, not much info on their site except press releases. These will be expensive, they are derived from subsections of the Xone:3D mixer
http://www.allen-heath.com
Feena FMDJ9303 - recently discontinued but I read a few months ago a new version maybe coming. http://www.feena-electronics.com/
Kontrol DJ http://kontrolprodj.com/content/view/12/1/
FaderFox http://faderfox.de/ - several products, available in Europe & with a little effort you can get them in other places
I'm sticking with my original (discontinued) version of the M-Audio Evolution X-Session for now (with Traktor). It isn't perfect but it does the job, the newer controllers have their flaws too and are a lot more expensive, bigger, heavier. |

i find the x session pro with torq le (which you can download free f you register the x session) works really well, all of the controls are pre assigned so away you go
its a bit fiddly to set up with ableton especially the EQ's though :( |
