Big Decison time - Midi controllers and mixers...
Hey yall,
I'm saving up for a new midi controller and need a new mixer for my bedroom too, and i'm in a bit of a dilemma (standard stuff, i know!)
I was thinking about getting a Novation Remote 25SL for my controller, but I still like the look of a Xone 1D or two. The problem I'm having is, I always like to use 4 Decks if possible, and mix externally on the club mixer - however a few of the venues i've rocked up to recently have shitty mixers which often only have 2 or 3 channels (poor show, I know) I was watching the Richie Hawtin vid, where he explains his 1D/traktor setup, and was thinking - does he take that mixer with him when he plays out?
Am I being a plonker, or is it a done thing to take your mixer with you if that's what you want to do? Do people do this atall?
In summary - Xone 1D or Novation 25SL? Portable mixers?
Cheers :D
