Simply put, I just want it so that I can control traktor with very little to no latency with the cdjs and mixer, and be able to unplug it all from my computer and do it with cds without the comp for practice. The main reason though why I want it to be all midi/timecode/etc. compatible is simply because of that snap and quantize feature on traktor...
I WAS planning on doing this; I was preparing to get a vci 100 and all that. The only thing I didn't like was that I could not do it without a laptop. I want to learn to be able to beatmatch and all that manually (i.e. not adjusting the bpm of the song before I even hear it), not only because I think it would be good to learn the basics, but also it would be good to know incase of an emergency screw up while playing. I also am interested in the hands-on feel of cdjs/mixers.
