Actually I see “blackavenger” on here is using a Xone 96. I was mainly interested in the DJ setup since many Xone users run external effects units and to get ideas for my setup. Thanks.

Awesome setup! It would be interesting if you could post a Youtube video of you mixing to see and hear how you use your external effects. TIA

Well, I have 2 fx pedals, RMX1000, Boss RC505 and Akai Force running together with my SC6000 and of course Xone 96

Try throwing one of these in the chain for vu monitoring of the headphone cue since you’re already adhoc.

Don’t have to be.

@NoiseRiser. What are you going to do with all that?

Experimenting, testing new things, learning new things and having fun. Why? I also tour with some stuff. That is only one of couple of my setups…

I have the same Serato CV (British edition) and they look pretty good. I also have the SP-1 but now the SL3 has it’s days numbered it will be harder to integrate a Master Sounds Radius (the ultimate goal this year).

Yeah I like the fact they are individual due to the design, and the sleeve is just mint. I’m back on my black ones now with the increased signal because I’ve found the picture discs don’t track as well (they never did back in the day did they).

And yeah I’m very worried about where this is heading right now, fingers crossed for a new soundcard or a paid update to the drivers. Even a 2 channel card isn’t useful for me as I often use the 3rd input to record my sets directly into Serato.

There still is Traktor :slight_smile:

Are their interfaces supported on the latest Mac OS or M1 chip?

Plus I’m a bit dubious about NI, they seem as dead as the rest of them. Both companies more interested in Studio software now.

You can use Traktor effects through your send/return with this interface. Traktor has it as a dedicated feature for external mixers. Traktor ‘as is’ is still a good competing program with the best sound quality of the bunch and the best timecode tracking of the bunch.

You can find out more on the state of Traktor here.

Does that mean I could use the ‘main’ in to record my set from the record out of my mixer?

I could be tempted to flip to Traktor if that’s the case.

Yes. It the same as the sl3 which you can actually still use with traktor on intel Macs (maybe m1 also). Anyone who has a Serato box Should try it with the traktor demo.

Yeah I might give it a go.

Is there an option similar to the DDJ-SP1 for triggering loops, cue points and FX?

It was made since the Traktor Pro 2. It will work for Traktor pro3 the same way.

You can try it with the 30 min at a time demo

Yup, the Kontrol X1 MK2. It’s really affordable and does a lot.

Definitely something to consider then, I’m not changing just yet but will add that to the options for future reference.

You’ll have to get Traktor timecode vinyl to test out the dvs though.

Oh hey, nice, another Akai Force user. Just snatched mine a few days ago, still getting into it, but loving it so far. The Roland 707 I had before was pretty cumbersome to use, but this beauty is a breeze. Bonus points for sharing the same InMusic roots. Best example are the same 7" screen and Ableton Link via Ethernet. I also plan to sync it with a Prime 4 for hybrid stuff, once I get one.
