Hands up..Who uses 4 decks..Honestly..!

Your spoilt....who bought you all that gear...?.....lol

 

Haha! he's a ****ing gear junkie, I wonder how he gets the money to buy all that overpriced ****.

 

gear money.`

I work full time during the week and i dj mobile gigs at least once a week. Working = money. I save for what I want to buy. I also been djing for 25 years.

 

Good answer. Respect.

Sometimes the obvious needs to be said to remind us to get out there and grind for our craft.

Respect, indeed.

 

I guess you have a well paid job but save some money for your retirement, don't spend it all in DJ toys!

 

Good advice. I may have to sell my DJ toys for my retirement:|

 

We're only jealous....lol.... keep spinning mate..!

 

Thumbs up for OneCrazyDJ, I have a similar setup.

Used to have Xone 4D and Traktor Pro (no timecode sh*t, just usb to the Xone) playing 4 decks (2 main tracks, 3rd for loops, 4th for creepy sounds and voices, I play Minimal Techno).

I bought Maschine and it requires a channel in the mixer if you want to hook it up, so right now I m on 3 decks (2 main tracks and 3rd for creepy stuff, i can loop the tracks I currently play to be honest).

Once you manage to implement Maschine in the system you can forget about decks C and D, unless you want to overkill your tracks (lets be honest, 2 decks in full spin with effects + a groove box are more than enough and no human ear would appreciate anything that's added on top of that).

M.

 

I'm also trying to go that route. But I can't trust enough right now on the midi syncing of traktor and maschine. I'm really interested in hearing how you sync them?

 

Have a look at this for syncing your kit..!

I followed the same tutorial and everything went well, that's the way i did.

P.S.
Before buying an additional soundcard I tried with the Midi ports on the Xone 4D but it did not work, and I never found an appropriate answer neither in this Forum nor the A&H one. If anybody managed to sync Maschine and Traktor Pro using the 4D onboard soundcard please drop me a note!

 

I use 4 decks; I use TSP with 4 decks and with 2 Kontrol X1

 

Can't put my hands up.. Busy with 4 decks...

 

I do. Usually it's 3, but for samples and to move tracks around if I want to scratch with a certain hand , having four is indispensable. I don't mix the full-on track 3 or 4 at a time though, just sparse parts, drums and percussion, breaks, etc. Gotta have breathing room.

 

No one really just mixes 4 decks together...everyone has this spare deck for samples and basslines and loops.... surley a sample bank could replace this 4th deck and free up some space on the screen for more buttons....yey...!

 

Four decks with two Faderfox DX2s. Works great with simple effects.

 

We use it 4 Decks all the time in Television.

 

I SOMETIMES use 4 decks, depends on my mood
Most of the time, i mix club/electro tracks and sometimes i do some mashups with a third track. I use the 4th track if i want to play samples but as i've had a surgery, i can use only ONE arm currently so two decks for the moment (it's enough )
I've written 4 decks TSI maps for my gears.

 

Say if you have a 1 hour set or so do ppl not find it annoying having to wire in the 4 channels from the previous dj and then again at the end?
