Got home DJ set up running again, Traktor and Xone K2. Found a mapping for two decks and a mixer for it, and it works great. Just have to use sync, but mixes will keep coming while the PX:5 is at the shop. 😅

It really is a fantastic controller, so versatile considering it’s size. Thanks again @Unbroken1 for selling it to me. ❤️

I thought my xone mixer was fooked as the left channel kept cutting out. Turned out to be a needle problem. What a complete spanner I am.

I thought my right deck was fucked / had a loose cable / connection as it wouldn’t play through the right monitor. I was about to get the Deck Dr out when I thought I’d have one more go at a diagnosis. I took it down and gave the cable a wiggle and plugged it all back in and it worked again. Before dropping out again.
When I had my headphones on, I noticed the same thing was happening with the right can. Fuck knows why but at that moment I remembered reading a thread on the old GU board about djs taking off the stylus and dabbing the connectors on their tongues when there were bad connections. I gave it a go and fuck my old boots, it’s fixed.

Use an eraser rather than licking it, that’ll clean it and prevent corrosion.

Old-Dutch Use an eraser as the moisturiser will make it rust on the connection.

I’ve also noticed a crackling sound when I touch the cables behind the cartridge.

I wonder what noise Rhouses makes when he touches his cables.

Just realized I can also hook my XDJs to my Traktor-set up and use the K2 just as a mixer. That should get me over the period without my mixer.

Homegrove decent!

mono-stereo

Homegrove how do you go about doing that?

Homegrove

mono-stereo import the mapping-settings for the K2 first, choose it as the audio, then just plug the XDJ700s in too. They’re plug and play controllers for Traktor. Automatic mapping when you plug the usb in.

Homegrove

You can hook about as many controllers as you want to traktor, just make sure the main one goes in first.

mono-stereo

Homegrove So you plug the decks into your computer via usb? then traktor see’s them as conrollers?

Homegrove

mono-stereo yep. Just click link, and choose which deck you want it to be. Works the same with the CDJ3000s if you’re going to get them. Or better, you get the full waveform on them too, not on the XDJ700s.

I actually bought a new sofa instead.

Fuck my life.
