OK... I'd like 3 knobs per slider and 2-4 more sliders per "side". The 36 buttons are NICE, but could use a column for each of the sliders.

This is VERY close to what I'd want for a live set.

No. I'm moving my production to it. Both for a more loop-based creation system AND for future live shows if I change my mind.

What killed Ableton as a DJ tool for me is the time involved in warping tracks and the fact that it's pretty much impossible to correct a warp if it's off in a live set... while playing that loop. The need pitch bending on each track, not just the over all performance.

Yes warping still doesnt feel me with joy. But am sticking with ableton for now.
It suits my style and not convinced that traktor would give the cross over between djing and producing that suits the same style.

Would u still use that kind of controller with traktor though? Seems more suited to ableton

well... I'm not a scratch dj so the only thing I would get with a traktor controller is a jog wheel for cuing which I can do with a mouse just as easy. So... is that worth paying $250 more? I'm trying to answer that now with the Remote. If the answer is yes, then I'll get the Numark Total Control.

It's got the cuing on there. Smiley The transport is assigned to the focus deck. I'm using 4 of the velocity pads to select cue points and the other 4 for selecting the length of loops. I've also got 4 eqs per channel like the xone:92 and so on. I'm just missing the jog dial.
