@nothingspecialtosee from what I can gather just from seeing other djs use the x1, you run everything through a soundcard/mixer.

This is the best tutorial video I've seen for the X1, good work. My biggest worry about buying this thing was sub-par pitch control of the tracks when not using sync mode, but it looks like the pitch bend and manual pitch adjustment (in shift mode) are more than adequate.

As a former cdj dj who doesn't need to do a lot of scratching and fx, I would feel confident using the x1 as my only controller.

@nothingspecialtosee you can mix pretty easily with the X1 but yeah it doesnt have faders which is pretty essential with mixing.

[nothingspecialtosee]

ok, X1 is great, but, do i need a mixer for a complete setup?... coz X1 doesnt have mixer functions right? (cross fader, volume, eq, etc...)

[Myosh03]

he forgot about mapping cue buttons to all 8 banks to hot cue!

[elixer1000]

Is this compatible with the Vestax VCI-300 MK2?

[deejaysoulution]

really prof. tutorial...exactly what I was looking for ! a lot of explanations which are not in the manual....so thank you !

[Hardc0reHumm3l]

Good Explanations! iam total noob at Dj-ing or Mixing... But this looks good for beginning so i think i will buy this one before i start buying turntables etc

[thedangermonty]

i think alot of people go digital cuz vinyl is soooo expensive.

i use digital, i really did want to learn on vinyl cuz i feel like one should know but i dont have the money to buy all the gear

[DoubleTwistBe]

Is there a volume knob or control on the X1?
