    Default Upgrade gear, what should i buy?

    I'm thinking of selling my rmx and akai lpd8 and buying some new gear.
    I was thinking about the xponent, is a good product?

    i would get a VCI-100 before an Xponent. There's tons of support on this site to for that piece of gear.
    SSL - DJM 800 - Technic 1200's - X1 - ITCH - NS6 - VCI-300

    Yes, you're right.
    But, i was thinking of selling the rmx for a reason, few few knobs, and few led buttons.
    I was thinking of the xponent cause it has got more then twice knobs, and led in every button.
    Vci, is Great, for the mapping and firmware you can have here, but i prefer a audio interface in the console, like rmx or xponent, that is Also more powerful.

    Xponent, seems plastic btw, so, i don't know, I'm a bit confuse

    just cus the xponent has more knobs,leds etc.. dont make it a good controller

    +you should stay away from built in soundcards they are awful and nothing but trouble on cheap controllers

    the Xponent is not a bad controller...it looks toy but has numerous controls
    you don't need metal, specially for home use, s4 is plastic too
    here is a guide, maybe it could help you:

    And the numark mixtrack pro?
    I don't know.
    I like the xponent, and Also the vci, but with the vci I've to' buy Also a audio card.
    Or maybe, Wait a few months and go for a s4?
    Or a xponent Or vci work good as well?
    I like my rmx, but i want some more knob

    you'll not really do more with a mixtrack
    so simply add a small controller as the x1 to your actual setup..you'll have controls for effects, cues & loop
    Music, music, music....

    This is a solution, but there is the problem of the few led on the console.
    I think is better to sell and add 200 euros than spend this money for adding thing to the Rmx ( I've got an akai lpd8 for the few knobs problem at the moment)

    That's why i was thinking of change all my gear.

    Is the xponent audio card good? How does it feels when you play it? Plastic? Jogs Are good?
    I'm trying to' understand the differenze beetween a vci.
    Cause a xponent will cost me x money, and a vci, x plus audio card.

    Xponent more controls, but, plastic feeling and a not so good audio card.
    Vci, Great mapping and materials, but no audio card.

    I'm looking now for the vci.
    What sound card can i use? Ni 2dj is good enough?

    Or should i leave, Wait a few months and have a traktor s4?
