Hello mates, well i am interested to know few points about some gear.
I want to buy a behringer DDM4000 ; Xone 1D to control traktor. First is it possible to use them with traktor?
What i still dont know is do i need sound card, Midi interface , cables? Can someone Give me a simple cable mapping please?
Because i want to command through internet , so i would like to buy everything at the same time.
thanks

thnks mate for the answer; with A&h xone 1d you can map it to control 4 channels, and you need 2 traktor x1 for that
Besides what i have a doubt about it , is this ,with behringer DDM 4000 and midi control can we hear the hole 4 channels in the headphone for cue and prelistening? or no?
Afterall sometimes i wanted to buy the stanton SCS 3 the mixer and the 2 controllers... what do you think about them ?

Any controller will due fine. What soundcard are you using? How are you going to cue up tracks?

well i will have a native instruments audio 2 dj

I would definitely try one of these out before going all touch surface. I personally prefer physical controls to something like this. I'd you are going all touch screen you could do it from an iPad.

well in my point of view , i guess ipod touchscreen is not like these stanton tech ... the problem in my country no one has it to try it i dont know really, i am confused about behringer 4000 many views said that they are not good for long time

i've used the ddm4000 and it seems to be good. the lights can be bright on the eyes... it seemed to sound fine (i didn't try the effects).. havn't used it extensivly... i mixed with it on a radio station.

I am not sure how well it holds up over time. But i would have a difficult time thinking that this would last less than a year... who knows though? maybe it stays in tact for a long time. Personally I've seen A&H mixers break after 6 months of use. so...

i know the feeling about not being able to try anything. if you are not in a city where this stuff is happening you have no choice but to make a decision and stick with it.

i also heard of ways to use the kontrol x1 on 4 decks... i have to look into this myself and see if thats possible... MUCH more convenient than that huge XONE 1D
