Most mapping is the same as a basic Traktor set up with a few exceptions. Gain is only gain and no filter (haven't found a way to make this work yet) 2. Flux mode (Slip mode in djay) only good for scratching but not for using cues/loops.

Sep 04, 2015 Description and Instructions. The instalation is very easy: Download the file. Then locate the folder in Djay2 Music-Djay Pro 2-Midi Mapings. Paste the file there. Open Traktor, then close traktor. In your S4 Push Shift plus Preview. Open Djay Pro 2, setup the audio.
Hey Jesse, I’m in a very similar situation to you considering those very same controllers/ipad option so will just add my two cents. Don’t forget that Traktor has the Remix decks so if you wanted to incorporate Ableton like / Launchpad sample stuff in your set, you could do that in the future whereas with djay, you can’t. I use djay almost everyday so am also trying to figure out my setup as well (it’s 6am sunday morning where I am, haha, so yeah, I’m stressing over it as well)
Good luck and let us know what you choose (and why?)
If you really want the powerhouse of iPad DJ apps and don’t mind a slightly steeper learning curve, DJ Player can be your friend. Be sure to check out their offering.
Out of them I would go for Traktor S2 mk2 .
But if you like Djay 2 I pesonally think its better than Traktor Dj . The best platforms for Djing on iPad i think would be the Reloop BeatPad or the Numark IDJ PRO , you can use DJ Player on the IDJ PRO too. 🙂Imho you shouldn’t use Spotify in a club. It’s one thing to use something like spotify to play that one request you don’t have at a wedding or something, but in a club, play only stuff that you know and that you have prepped properly. Just my opinion of course.
The S2 and iDJ Pro are the same price here, and if I were to go for anything other than Traktor software, the iDJ Pro would be my choice. The only thing lacking is the channel faders. It is natively mapped for both DJay2 and DJ Player. The iPad sits perfectly inside the unit, which is safe and provides a very stable and flat platform for using the touch features of the iPad/app. I like this much better than any bracket/slit way of standing the iPad on it’s side. This is prone to being knocked-off, leaned on (and breaking the bracket) and will most likely make the iPad move when you touch it (springy feeling), making it a less accurate way of using it.
DJ Player supports all midi-compliant devices, so you can map the WeGo3 yourself (not too many buttons anyway). The only problem with making mappings is the return stuff usually (like lights and meters).
Bro, you totally want a WeGO3 for what you want to do. I have an MC3000 in a flight case but picked up a WeGO3 for small gigs and iPad djing and it I love it so much, I started taking it to gigs I used to do with my MC3000. The lights on the WeGO are annoying but everything else about the controller is awesome for the money. I especially like the sound quality and the fact that I can map it to Virtual DJ to use with my laptop.
Hi Jesse, I’m in the same situation. I think you have to really decide your preferred software first. I’ve been mixing on the ipad for quite a while now and have tried out the various apps around. Cash is a bit limited so I want to buy the right controller first time out. Problem is I like using Traktor DJ the best and unless someone out there can correct me, you can only use NI controllers with this app. Even though I don’t like DJAY2 quite as much there are so many controllers to choose from at really good prices. I’m going with my gut feeling and buying the Kontrol S2 mk11. It’s not a whole lot more than the Z1 and really has everything you need. Just hope NI start supporting Traktor DJ a little bit more!!!
Hi Jesse, from someone who is new to DJing but I have a lot of gigs under my belt including wedding, hayrides, backyard parties, clubs, and different genres and crowds, I actually have an S2. It was well worth the cost, and has not failed me one time. I am on a budget as well, but it is true that once you get a good piece of gear its one less thing to worry about. I had never used traktor and now I am looking forward to learning how to use features I never thought I would need and adding to my setup with my S2 as my main piece. Djay pro mac guide. It gives so much room to grow.

Forget those splitter cables – the latest update to Algoriddim’s djay 2 for Android DJ software was released today, and it lets you use the onboard sound cards of supported DJ controllers, meaning you can finally connect your headphones and speakers straight to your controller for full stereo headphone cueing and master output.
Previously, controllers like the Reloop Beatpad and Pioneer DDJ-WeGO3 worked only as Midi devices, so you still had to run a splitter cable like the Griffin DJ Cable from your Android device’s headphone jack to hook up your speakers and headphones, which has always been an ingenious solution to headphones cueing with just a single stereo audio output, but is hardly ideal. This update solves that.
Android DJing comes of age
It’s about time that Android users get a full mobile DJing experience whenever they use a DJ app with an all-in-one hardware controller. iOS users have been enjoying this for quite some time and are spoiled for choice, both in terms of DJ apps (eg Traktor DJ, djay 2, Cross DJ, etc) as well as compatible DJ controllers (Traktor Kontrol S2 mk2, and both the Pioneer DDJ-WeGO3 and Reloop Beatpad come to mind).
The latest version of Android OS (5.0 Lollipop) makes multi-channel audio output possible, so do note that you’ll have to upgrade your Android device to the latest OS version to make this work. It looks like we’re finally seeing the platform move closer to standing toe-to-toe with iOS in the DJing department…
• djay Free was also released by Algoriddim today, which is a free to download app that retains many of the features of djay 2, such as Spotify integration, onboard effects and controller integration. Find out more at the Algoriddim website.
