Hey Peter do you have any suggestions for a cheap and portable laptop stand to bring to gigs so I can keep my Mac safe and on eye level?

[thedjpodcast]

@RicMansur The Stanton Uberstand is probably your best bet. There is one from Marathon that might be a bit cheaper, but I haven't used it myself.

Either way. Keep up the good work.

Do you have any vids on controller mapping in Traktor 2?

I have a mixdeck and kontrol x1

[thedjpodcast]

@DjCBlaq Yes. We have one that goes over mapping FXs. I can't link it because YT doesn't allow links in comments. The concepts are the same if you want to map other commands.

These guys are fast! I just spoke to them yesterday.

[thedjpodcast]

@DjCBlaq I don't want to break the illusion of being quick, but this was actually made a week ago. It was a nice coincidence that you asked about it yesterday.

@thedjpodcast thx man ima probably gonna to get one soon

[thedjpodcast]

@TikTak239 Assuming there is nothing wrong with the soundcard itself, lack of power from your computer could be the issue. A powered usb hub could possibly solve that problem.

my usb audio card always fails during a mix, does tht mean i needa power source usb hub?
