Patch_ed
Okay, just wanted to give an update just in case somebody else's troubleshooting in the future. I hate when somebody describing the same issue I have and there's no resolution, so here it is. And also thanks again guys for the help.
So I narrowed down that I was having issues and I narrowed it down to something with the shift key. Now I've remapped other controllers before, and different commands, but the DDJ-1000 is a little different, for various commands it sends duplicate controls. For instance in my case if you hit the shift button while in the controller mapping, you'll notice under activity you see:
SHIFT_HD_SHIFT
SHIFT
HD_SHIFT
For 'SHIFT_HD_SHIFT' and 'HD_SHIFT' (2 of the 3 activities that get triggered), The command should just be 'shift'
For The other shift activity that gets triggered, the one that is just 'shift' It should be this command:
var '$DDJ1K_HID' ? nothing : shift
You have to make sure that all of those are correct, in my case one of those shift actions were not correct, and when I was troubleshooting, I overlooked checking the other commands, and when I did, I did not know where the correct command was, so I just copied it from the built-in mapping.
So if you're having a similar issue, hopefully that corrects it for you. Remember that with programs and almost everything in life it's way less common that whatever your troubleshooting has a hardware or software issue, especially if you have an issue with a product that is new to you. It's way more common that the issue is stemming from the person using said product incorrectly.
Also if you have a heavy customized mapping, be sure to back it up, just in case. That way. you have an instance of a working mapping that you can later on you can go back to if you severely mess up your mapping and have to start over.
