"now you may have noticed that i'm wearing the exact same shirt as I do in the routine. there are two reasons for this. First, you have to wear this shirt to do the routine, and second I only own one shirt" Classic banter from Shiftee what a legend

[@C5ICK]

Entertaining in so many ways. Awesome job!

[@deejayshiftee]

I'm using it simply as a generic MIDI controller for Traktor, i.e. Maschine controls Traktor. Switch to MIDI mode by pressing SHIFT + CONTROL on Maschine itself. Peep my other Dubspot videos on mapping Maschine as midi controller for more info.

Best review of this mixer I’ve seen yet. Trying to figure it out.

[@dylan9888]

[@DowntownDigitalUK]

Pushing boundaries

[@coinonaribbon]

[@leandro1guedes]

[@mortado28parkour]

Very very usefull

[@lukamoller4448]

Someone come and take his greenscreen from him😂 Nice video, just bought one from eBay, hope it works out

[@joe2grand]

Great stuff ! When I get all this stuff then I'm sure I will be a great Dj and it will help me rock the party Only problem is I think it needs more buttons / controls / effects / lights

[@StereoSquared]

Awesome & brilliant bro...u da shiz, but plz explain how u grabbed the samples from the track(deck A) to put into the remix deck(deck C). thx

[@dubtruth00]

also, question about the pads you had on the maschine (pad drumming): can you talk about how you prepared the columns of bass notes? how did you get the 3rd column to sustain, compared to the 4th column which only played as long as they were held?

[@TravisTraps]

I got that same hat from DJ Sliink when i opened up for him! Dooope

[@ChewyGDRP]

Awesome

[@jasoncasper1373]

hi everyone i have a question , i set all the cue pads of z2 into different colors in controller editor ,but it returned all blue when i open traktor pro , is there any part i missed ? please help:)

[@iamBassick]

Hey Shiftee and Dubspot, thanks for the tutorial! Is to possible to do the same routine using the novation launchpad instead of the machine? any recommended mappings for the launchpad to use it in the same manner you used the machine in? Cheers

[@MerXDaPropheTGMO710]

great video does the mapping work for the mk1 also?

[@MrDarthSeriousmixes]

This guy's the funniest guy on earth

[@MrCeez1]

fader line fading. i am a custom painter there are some things to help that. have the face plate clear coated. auto clear coat can protect that.

[@katannamon]

5:35 how I shall henceforth remember my favorite geeky DJ

[@Corruption6107]

I agree with Mr Ellis, Shiftee does it as always! Killin it.....and i do have to watch it 10 times over i stop laughing around the third or fourth time...........!! Shiftee >>> Big UP and Respect!!!!

[@jeremyellismusic]

And Shiftee does it again. My only problem with this is that Malibu Barbie lives in California. That still makes the long distance relationship difficult. It's possible that Lil' Shiftee is being deceptive and has never even met the woman.

[@Candigurrol]

dope.

[@mistergs1644]

Yo grand master...how do you connect your Maschine is it running in the bakground and routed inside traktor pro or on as an input to the Kontrol Z2?

[@daric_]

Flexing those gold Technics. Nice.

[@justicem8955]

@dubspot Is it possible to use the lcd screens on a Maschine MK2 controller to see Traktor's library? i wanna use only the controller to look at and scroll through my tracklist and not have to look at my computer screen. any tips?

[@duytuanwashere]

FU*KING DOPE!!!

[@choochoo72]

I have to go back and check that out. Traktor is he hardest software I've ever seen, and that mixer is difficult to learn also. I have to learn it though. I realy want to utilize the Echo FX. Hopefully I'll have it all situated before the month is out. Also, when I loaded my tracks into my Macbook Pro, which took like 4 days, my tracks didn't stay loaded in their folders. They all went into Tracks Collection seperately. How can I prevent that?? Thanks for the feedback also..Much appreciated

[@lucaippolito93]

It's beautiful, can i have the song name?

[@maninscratch]

okay if I have two 1200s, a Traktor Kontrol Z2 and a Laptop, what else do I need to buy to get startet?

[@choochoo72]

I have the Pioneer DKM T1, using Macbook Pro, and Technics 1210s. I have tried everything I could to get this my music to play to complete failure. Internal mode allowed me to play directly from the Laptop, but external mode gave me nothing but a loud long beeping noise. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?? It's supposed to be as simple as plug and play. There is no wrong way to hook it up, right? I'm going into both phono inputs in the mixer, and Macbook through USB. Help please

[@djknoxx8842]

Hey guys the link to the free download for his MK2 mapping on his fanpage is dead. Does anyone have a download link to it?

[@ooooraaa]

did you not just follow the tutorial?..i setup in 30 mins..make sure you have the switches on the mixer set accordingly between USB/PHONO, and if you look at preferences in traktor >>check your inputs/outputs in that section. If that doesn't work then you need to go to the traktor folder and check the settings for djm-t1 there..failing these checks i would re-run the setup wizard..if in doubt the wizard is the key to getting things running :) At work now but can help more tomorrow if needs be!?

[@DJChapNA1]

I Have a problem with the stripes, they load, but they load realy short, and I don´t now why. This happen after upgrading, I fill sick about it. can some one give me a help?

[@DJAndyWhitby]

[@robertogc9961]

Do Lil' Shiftee know, if Native Instruments made a 4 channel mixer

[@LittyJonez]

[@AndresSanabriaMusic]

Flux Mode = slip mode ?

[@Astral_Blitz]

exactly yea.

[@snifta]

THIS MIXER IS DOPE BUT THEY COULD HAVE CHANGED THE MASK, YOU CAN SEE SHIFTEE'S PAINT PEELING OFF THE LINE FADERS AND THE CROSSFADER. I GOT MINE LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND MY PAINT IS COMING OFF

[@StingrayOfficial]
