Nice that people are starting to recognise the usefulness of this sort of setup. My main rig has been an Allen & Heath DB2 mixer and a Traktor Kontrol X1 and it's just as professional looking and sounding as anything else with the benefit of not having to lug around a giant mixer and a bunch of CDJs. Love that you're promoting something like this! :)

Great video, I have the X1 Mk2 already but your video has taught me more about how to get the most out of it than I'd got from reading the manual. However, I wonder if you've heard of anyone having problems with the unit. I have used it for a couple of months without any hassle until the other night when a fault seemed to develop. Using Traktor Scratch Pro II on a windows 7 laptop the decks started to move themselves as if somebody was playing with the touch strip. I had a look on the NI forums to no avail, updated my drivers and the latest update for Traktor, also re-scanned in all my music and the fault remains. With the X1 unplugged Traktor works fine, but as soon as I plug it back in this new fault returns. I bought the unit as a back up for my MC6000 which needs to go back for its third replacement of faders so now need a back up for my back up. Sorry for the long post, Just wanted to get as much info over as possible. Keep up the good work with the video's and articles which I have found very informative.

Great tip, I was using a o Numark DJIO it works perfectly with my x1mk2 and Traktor Pro 2. I have a question does anyone else notice the 3 large encoder knobs are loose on their post. Loose enough they came be pulled off with very little effort. I contacted NI they stated because the knobs are touch sensitive their should be some play. I had it for almost a year but never noticed how loose they were until I had to clean it, but they pulled right off with no effort.

+Haykel Cheffai The X1 Mk2 works great for gigging DJs using a club's existing mixer (to perform crossfades, volume control, EQ, and the like). Likewise with a mixer at home. Minute 4:10 in the above video goes into more detail on controlling deck A or B with the touchstrip (but doesn't show mixing from deck A to B, so I understand your confusion). Here's our full review on the Kontrol X1: www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/08/review-video-traktor-kontrol-x1-mk-2/ Hope this helps! :)

@digitaldjtips

+Martin Dauer Hm, well the set-up examples on their product page suggest either using a mixer with a sound card (like the Audio 6) or just using a mixer like the Kontrol Z2 - I've seen there is a mapping that allows you to control headphone monitoring via the FX buttons (likely on Traktor Bible).

Nice vid Phil. I'm planning to add up an X1 mk2 on my Traktor S2 set up. I already have an F1 mapped with Tekken's Effects mapping and I also use it for my remix sets. My question though is, can I use the X1 with my existing set up so that I can use it to control decks C and D? My S2 only allows me to control two decks and I really want to be able to control all 4 decks without investing on an S4. Thanks. I'm an avid fan of your vids. Keep up the good work!

+DJ ElectroFresh Here's our full review of the X1: www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/08/review-video-traktor-kontrol-x1-mk-2/ It goes over what the controller is actually for - essentially it's a "decks and effects" controller - meant to help control basic mixer, transport, and FX functions within Traktor Pro (not Traktor DJ for iOS) - it can also be used as DVS for Traktor Scratch - so yes, it's both good for using with timecode gear, and for notebook DJs :)

Hello Digital DJ Tips, I'm 14 and very new in Music Producing and DJ-ing, I've bought myself FL Studio Producer Edition 11 recently and I started to learn how to produce music etc, I also bought my self an simple usb midi keyboard, to be precise eKeys Evolution with 37 keys and I'm really interested in music producing, I've been collecting money to buy my first DJ Controller. Right now I've collected around 100$ from my pocket money etc...I wanted to ask you what is the best controller for me that costs around 200$-250$? I've been thinking about Beatmix Reloop but I'm not really sure 'cause BeatMix Reloop feels kinda toyish and with very few controlls to satisfy my ambitions, appetite, desire (whatever is right word for it, but you get it). I apologize for my bad english vocabulary and grammar, English isn't my native language, and thank you in advance :)

You can use a Pioneer DJM-850/900nxs or the new 900nxs2 as the sound card and plug that in USB. Considering most venues have those as the standard, you'll only need something like the Audio 2 if they don't.
