Hey guys, so this is my first post on the forum. and first of all. i really love this site
I've been producing electronic music since i was 12 (i got in the scene at a young age) and i just recently started dj'ing about a year ago
When i first started out dj'ing i was just using Traktor Scratch Pro with a wireless mouse, (a friend of mine gave me a licensed copy) i honestly cant afford much, my current set up is a M-audio 02 midi controller and traktor with my mouse.
I've done a few radio shows and what not. but now i'm actually getting booked for real shows. their not "raves" however therefore they dont have house equipment. i've been dj'ing at Rock shows, while bands set up and an hour set. (been turning out quite amazing, surprisingly everyone loves the music)
what i've been doing is running a RCA cable ( i think thats what it is, the red and white cord) from my headphone jack to their mixer board and just doing all internal mixing with traktor.
the problem is, i have to prop up the cord because my headphone jack is broken. and i have to mix blind (cant headphone cue)
I've been looking into USB sound cards so that i could avoid that issue, but what i'm having problems with is trying to find one at a decent price but still has nice quality. i've been looking at the ICONNEX portable usb soundcard, since it's only 26 dollars.
and i would also like to invest in a 2 channel mixer
i just need a cheap setup till i do more shows and purchase the Kontrol S4 which i am extremely obsessed with. when i first heard about it i spent hours and hours looking it up online lol
if you could help me with finding a decent priced setup and how exactly to connect it, i understand the audio routing, (what i used to do at home, was make the master the left speaker and use the right speaker for cueing, horrible set up lol, i use external speakers btw)
sorry for the long post. but thanks to anyone who takes the time reading it and helping me out
