‪The DJ Mothership: Traktor 2 & NI's Controllers - X1, S4, Maschine‬

Native Instruments product specialist and Dubspot Instructor Mike Henderson aka DJ Endo explains and demonstrates the incredible audio processing, DJing, and performance possibilities of Dell's powerful Studio XPS laptop running Windows 7. In this new video Endo creates a next level Traktor DJ setup called The Mothership. Using the Studio XPS laptop along with NI's Audio 8 interface and the Kensington USB hub, Endo connects a series of Native Instruments next generation DJ controllers and gear including a mapped-out Maschine for auto-synching and beat-matchining, two Traktor Kontrol X1 for browsing/scrolling through tracks, controlling effects panels, and Traktor Kontrol S4 for advanced controllerisms using the decks. Lastly, Endo goes into Traktor and shows us how to navigate the preferences, device setups, and load up the Settings for The Mothership.

BTW, what is the purpose of the DJM800 in this set-up?

im sure u could do just as fine without it and the X1s, if not better.

Seems to be controllerism to an insanely cluttered/confusing level, does anybody else agree?

[djkrypto1103]

where can i get me one of those cool usb cables?

[slyruler999]

@pnoize I could do all that and more with an s4 and a midi fighter.

[RockstahRolln]

@pnoize True! But I guess you wouldn't want to overload the S4 with everything going in because as their vid states that it runs through their software, it is NOT designed as an analogue standalone mixer, which would cause the S4 to crash. Look at Ean Golden's review on it :)

[RockstahRolln]

@DeeJayEndo I thought so :) But between you and I, Mac would be preferable in this case, right?

[baatezumetal]

@pnoize I agree, couldnt you just use the S4 as the mixer, and use the maschine and X1s just as well?

[DeeJayEndo]

@biohazardaxe Hey its like that saying use it if you got it.

@jessevdriel once I set up 4 Decks Traktor (w/ 4 CDJs) - 2 Laptops, sync'd ableton Maschine and traktor between laptops and 2 X1's in 60 seconds at Global Gathering russia when I was setting up for Dubfire because Above and Beyond wouldn't play one more song. Might have been a world record

[DeeJayEndo]

@JAHKAMREN Yes, I love using the turntables with the S4!!

@sebastiendjuk f Dell's Studio XPS laptop

[DeeJayEndo]

@sjenkin1 Yup, unfortunately the only way to search for a track is by going to the laptop unless you have an external keyboard

[DeeJayEndo]

@karlos7eberl Yup totally. This video I was definitely a show off. I won't argue with you on that one :) Showing off how powerful PCs are and how much you can have running on them.
