Photojojo's setup

I'm more of a Case IH man actually.

Ah yeh, real man's tractors.

Hey Photojojo

how you getting on with the Z2? Is it worth it over a xone mixer and soundcard?

While you're at it, thoughts on the X1/F1 combo over The K2. Maybe just the X1 vs the K2.

+1 on this question.

[photojojo]

I love it. I haven't had a whole lot of time to play with it due to be crazy busy with various things. The paint is coming off the faceplate where the faders are, but NI has already said this will be a warranty issue. I've been using the X1 rather than the K2 mostly because its a straight forward no mapping required setup. The F1 is only for remix decks and I don't use it for anything else. The K2 is nice, my biggest complaint with it though is lack of center detent on the knobs.

It's not a DB series mixer so no it doesn't compare to that. I think it's worth every bit. if not more than what they're selling it for though. There's some quirks with it due to its tight integration with Traktor, but you learn to live with those and they are there for a reason. Things like auto gain and EQ/filter modes having to be changed every time you open Traktor.

still gonna grab a DB2 given the chance?

I'm not as hot for one now that I have this. if I could find someone to let me borrow a DB2 or DB4 for a month I might change my mind though.

You're welcome over at my place any time

sorry one last question (maybe ) , do you wish you still had an aux send / return to use analogue gear efx units?

Nope. I know it's not exactly the same but the Z2 has on Aux in RCA's that are routed through the mic channel. So if I have other gear I want to run as long as I can get audio out of whatever it is I can run it through the mixer and not lose a channel in Traktor.
