Hi there.
In short:
Can I lock the needle search while the deck is playing?
The long story:
I'm starting to use the DDJ-T1 controllers, often on a back to back job where we share the controller. I primarily use the needle search area for the function keys, but sometimes for searching too.
The problem is that once in a while in the heat of battle, when I want to use a function I miss the function switch, so I use the needle search on the deck that is playing live, which of course is extremely terrible.
I would therefore like to know, if there is a way to lock the needle search while playing (just as the CDJ-2000 does it), or perhaps disable needle search if the channel-fader is turned up.
Hope it's possible.

Good question, and I haven't got an exact answer for you yet (although I will poke around tonight to see if I can get my theory to work), but I believe all you would need to do is add a condition to the current mapping of the touch-strip.
I think this is a great question. I use the needle search from time to time as well. When I first got my T1 I made that mistake live during some of my shows too. I solved the problem at first by turning on the function button when I had found the point I was looking for. After a bit of time (like maybe a week if that) I taught myself to avoid that area while I was live. Now I only use it for pre-production type of affairs. I've learned to prescan my songs and find every point where I may want to start the new beat, and I set a cue point. I guess this does limit me in the number of hot cues available while playing live, but I already have the hot cue set where I may want to use that technique in a mix so it really just makes my life easier.
With that being sad I'm very interested to see what happens in this thread because for me the solution was to do my homework. Which I feel like taught me to learn my music better. So I'm interested to see if there is another technique available within the software or if I may have found something. Even though I think the solution for something like this is to know your beats better, but since I came over to digital from vinyl with a short pass thru the CDJ world I probably have a lot to learn about what is possible these days even though I discovered many things so far.
