Advanced DJ setups using the Traktor X1 MK3 | Native Instruments

[@scruffylife]

I take my hat off to native instruments for always pushing the limits for user! Future of Sound for life!

[@UONeal]

??? When is the last time they pushed the limits of anything??? Sadly they have fallen so far behind and it breaks my heart bc I miss using Traktor but with no "real" new hardware and the software falling so far behind I'm back to Serato and the S11

[@openformatmusic7932]

@@UONeal I'm using S11 with traktor every weekend. It's amazing and totally works like a gem.

[@UONeal]

@@openformatmusic7932 that's awesome... I've tried but nothing integrates with Traktor like the Z2... It's still my favorite combo ever... I've used (and own) so much different gear but the way they integrated was amazing and everything just worked... If I go back to Traktor it would have to be with the Z2,X1,F1 combo

[@openformatmusic7932]

@@UONeal Hope they can combine Z2,X1,F1 into 1 unit with a antelope audio 32bit soundcard.

Fantastic to see these new videos popping up. Great to have official quick to the point videos on some of these uncommon setups to be setup

[@PilzE.]

Traktor 4? You know, for those who bought into the hardware and software, and STILL wanna be using our chosen platform. So many tempting choices out there, all updated regularly and staying relevant and fresh, how about you throw us a bone for everything WE invested into YOU, NI!

[@mrjoerizk]

Done :D

[@HARDBEA7]

1. Update software, add stems 2. Make s4mk4 with midi mapping available 3. S8 mk2 4. Or just merge Djay pro with traktor

[@zanerasmussen8889]

Updated S8 is what the people want.

[@FluxStage]

Yes

[@HARDBEA7]

@@zanerasmussen8889 we want a lot of things but its not up to us, I've got 20 more ideas .... i want traktor to be successful, problem is they are lagging behind the competition, if the software team is falling behind, do a damn good flagship hardware to work on VDJ & Djay Pro, make it MIDI mappable, drive the sales up then invest in software later .... people only afraid one day traktor don't work they got nothing else to rely on!

[@tilllindemann7945]

release a standalone system

[@nicolas.leger3]

Option 4 would be great

[@MikeAusome]

Man.. thank you so much for showing the diversity of this equipment. Mind blown!! 👏🏾👏🏾

Thanks buddy. I'll check it out later, Cheers, Clive - Spyda Music Productions, Sherwood Forest, UK

I'm here for the Traktor Community! GREAT VIDEO 📹 MATE!

[@mikedurden]

When are the upgraded Z1/F1 dropping?

[@Drrolfski]

Especially the Z1 can't come soon enough. And then I want to see how this new X1/Z1 combo compares to Reloop's upcoming Mixtour Pro. Should be an interesting showdown.

[@UONeal]

Prob not ever bc so many Traktor users are using 4 channel mixers... Honestly I wish they'd do a Z2 MK2 as the Z2 is my favorite mixer ever... But since that's not happening I'm using the S11

[@Carlinhasteph]

omg you just opened my mind for this setup. I'm really surprised, can't wait to explore myself

[@andrewsun4385]

Awesome!!!❤❤💯💯

[@DjJoste]

I would now like to see a tutorial on new Traktor 4 connected to X1mk3 use with a second X1 MK3 unit and how the setup will actually work with the Pattern player! (thanks NI) :)

[@nethercords]

Thankyou so much, ive been waiting for this video since mk3's initial release, im still quite new to modular dj gear, and looking to be self sufficient when i get asked to dj at parties....

[@swrpn]

Can this be used with a 2 Channel mixer like a Hercules Inpulse 500?

[@benmiles00]

Wow! This is the future right here. Modular ftw! Will NI be bringing out a new generation of controllers with these knobs or is tis amazing unit designed to replace them?

[@stuwilldoo7035]

Im torn between this setup or an S4. But what I would really love is an S4 as an all in one. No laptop.

[@DJShortCut187]

Schönes Video! Wird das neue Traktor-Software-Update mit dem Daylight-Mode pünktlich zur Festival-Saison erscheinen? Grüße nach Berlin!

[@nonplusx]

Hey @NativeInstruments - in the final chapter of this video you show vinyl timecode, but the X1 does not support DVS, does it? You show plugging all gear in and the setup, but I assume a DVS sound card is required as well? Felt like that part was missing.

[@Frangolinobio]

Thanks for the video. Can it be paired with S4 MK3 ? How do you chose whick decks it will be paired with?

[@workrelaxfoxuswithkenzo]

Thanks a lot. Great explanation of all these different setups.

[@kineticstringwell844]

so can i run traktor with ableton together as well as midi too external devices too ........ prayers answered

[@ankurjohriddsmd]

Can you please do a video on how to use external sound card like Motu to get output to a non Traktor mixer like a Xone 92 or Boutique rotary mixer that does not have a built in sound card. Thanks.

[@kstyle12]

Please Native make a new S8 !! Stand alone version and controller version !!! Make a s3 , s4 with full remix deck control , make a z4 mixer with 4 channel .

[@damonwhite9521]

I have two X1 mk3 and I want to use when travelling with my laptop and PREMIUM 6-CHANNEL AUDIO INTERFACE as my sound card, I also want to be able to stream to OBS, really hitting a wall here could you assist?

Does Traktor pro work with the pioneer xdj rx2? considering changing up my gear & I’m struggling soo bad on what route to take 🤷‍♂️

[@MICHAL4709]

Hi, I need help setting up a Pioneer DJM-750MK2 with 2 Allen & Heath Xone:K2 controllers on Traktor Pro 4. I’m happy to pay for someone’s time. I have a mapping for Traktor Pro 4 for the 2 Xone:K2 controllers, and everything works perfectly. However, I would like to use the DJM-750MK2 for mixing, but I don’t have a mapping for it. I need help with this. Would you like any additional information or assistance with this setup? please prive

[@djcornell87]

Connect the mixer with the computer via USB and change the audio settings to external.

[@Ron-e82]

Its a nice controller with its oled screens, but with the mk 2 still in use I see no need for an upgrade.

[@Xirex]

I want to be able to use all 8 cue points on the X1MK3. Like how X1MK2 had the flux button toggle between cue points 1-4/5-8. How can I do that on the X1MK3?

[@lordcarloshere]

You can use 5-8 with traktor 3.11 and holding shift if you active that in the options. If you want to use flux you need to map that.

[@javiervalero6886]

I have the pioneer djm 800 table, x1 mk3 and Traktor pro 3, how can I connect the turntables?

Can anyone suggest links to setting up an analog mixer? Currently using the Playdifferently model 1.4.

[@redxheartxshapex]

Did you find anything on this? Tks

[@Nick-kb6jd]

PLEASE can you update X1 MK3 to natively control stems in Traktor pro. So crazy this doesn't exist.

[@unitedsimplydabest]

When are you going to update to Retina display?!?!

[@rodrigohm6]

Any body knows if the external mixer set up works with Denon X1850 Prime?

[@rawsessiondnb]

Is it possibile to connect X1 and CDJ like this: - n°2 CDJ are connected to n°1 X1 via USB. The X1 is connected to a MAC via USB - CDJs are connect to an external mixer via RCA line input (so the mixer don't have USB connection) Use the CDJ/XDJ aggregator for control CDJs with Traktor in HID mode. Use X1 for TRIGGERING HOTCUEs and BEATJUMP function Is It possible?

Can this be used with an S3? And how?

[@NativeInstruments]

Yes, you can use it with the S3. If you have questions about the setup, feel free to ask in our online community here: bit.ly/4aNV09n We have many Traktor users who are happy to offer recommendations.

[@FluxStage]

So, if now this controller is mappable to other programs, say algoriddim then in theory this could be a ultra slim mixer controller bit of everything in combo with my android tablet and the audio cable splitter?

[@lordcarloshere]

Yes, but you will need to use it in midi mode. No LEDs or displays. If you want to use it with Djay there are better controllers out there.

[@FluxStage]

@@lordcarloshere fair. I got a tiny Hercules controller but it's so cheap and chitty it only lasted one trip. I really like traktor, but I'm also an android guy and don't have any iPads to use with traktor dj 2...

[@dubnightstudio]

My inner monk isn’t happy with the new size… I won’t buy it, I have the x1 mk2, two f1 and a z1. All in the same size.

[@brendyd7]

Is it only usb c type into the laptop? So I guess my 2015 Mac Pro laptop is no good for it?

[@NativeInstruments]

It's USB A 😉

[@mbaymone]

The mk3 encoders are too light and the pots have a very large center dead zone :/ Otherwise I enjoy the x1 + xone 96 combo.

Hey, guys! Honestly having 2 x1 mk3s begs for the ability to connect 2 z1s to traktor. I'm so tired of connecting 2 x1s to my heavy x1850 mixer

[@louro5071]

NI what good is your hardware if you don’t have instant stems? The software is the heart of all your gear and yet NO instant stems? Unlike Algoriddum and Serato, even virtual DJ. I love my S4 MK3 but I can’t use it cause Traktor has NO stems. And I can’t midi map it to any other DJ software?! I can’t even sell my S4 MK3? No one wants it and why would they want this!?

This stuff doesn’t seem like it’s better than an S8 in any way at all. You’ve basically deconstructed the entire controller into three pieces. No XLR connections either. I cannot see this ever beating the S8 in anyway.

The djm has xlr. And the x1 + Z1 setup is light and mobile.
