Xone DX Traktor Pro (2)

I'm focusing here for the first part to use the jogwheel as the main control over a FX combo using two FX units (3 chained Fx and 1 advanced) and on the last part of the video on using a quick copy function of a track to duplicate it over three different channels, applying 2 different FXs on two of those channels and then assigning each channel (where an FX is applied) to either side of the crossfader. I love the copy function it allows for some nice tricks.

I thought it would be fun to continue the mix from where I stopped like last time. So here's part 2.
Hope you'll enjoy. The mix is 'ok' in itself but it was more like last time to show what could be done with the DX and using smart controls to pull out the best of both software and hardware (I'm trying to at least).

Playlist:
Faithless - Not going home (Prydz remix)
Schadenfreude - The road leads east (Meat Katie remix)
Celeda - The underground (acapella)
Analog people in a digital world vs Tim deluxe - Just won't do (Paul Jackson remix)
Reshuffle - The uppershelf

Having played with both the dx and s4 which do you prefer? Im on a low budget so i think ill have go with the dx which is about 300 pounds cheaper than the s4 now. but id like to hear your opinion on the matter, tar!

@Jimster666 Because I'm using Traktor, the S4 without contest. The Dx has still a lot of strong points for itself but it's way outclassed on that matter.

@a1Pha123

Hello, nope, I don't have the DX anymore and I didn't keep the mappings I made.

Xone DX with Traktor Pro 2 ,download ???

I was really torn between the Xone DX and the Traktor S4 right down to the last minute,and I went with the S4. The layout seems to be more user friendly.

Could you email me your exact mappings please? d j s p i e l @ g m a i l d o t c o m

@jonpaulevans

I understand but compromising is one of the main word when it comes to controller I guess.

[jonpaulevans]

@Yul303 so you adapt and get used to the feel and layout? Well I guess I would like to see something the size of NS7 or Pioneer CDJ1000 that does this. I do like the direction we're heading and I've been waiting a few years for the gear to allow me/us to do more than 2 tracks at a time.

@jonpaulevans

What would you expect from a 4 channels all in one controller of this size? There's a balance to find between the layout, the desirable number of controls needed, the size and weight of the unit. In practice, the layout didn't cause me any trouble. I admit the controls on the FX units are a bit close to each other.

As for the buttons I was a previous user of some A&H's products so there was no surprise from me here I guess.
