    Default 4 channel usb mixer for traktor

    Looking for a simple solution to use with my MIDI-fighter. No need for any jog-wheels, just a simple 4 channel mixer that I can use with traktor. A built in soundcard would make my life very simple, so that would be awesome too!

    Any tips?

    My budget is about 300-400 usd.

    what about an xsession pro and audio 2? throw in an lpd8 and your set.

    you could get a ddm4000 in that price range as well but then you would need a way to get those 1's and 0's into the comp. ie; midi interface / soundcard with midi thru (someone please correct me if I am wrong about the midi thru part please) which would put you over budget...

    the gain knobs on the ddm dont do midi, so u could have 2 main decks and 2 sample decks w volume and filter controls (what i do).

    u just need and Midi-to-Usb interface~ $20
    i use the NI Audio2~ $80

    M-Audio UC-33e could also be an option worth looking into. Very versatile little thing, can only recommend it.

    The combination of a xsession pro, lpd8 and audio 2 looks really nice actually.
    I also found a nice price on the DDM-4000 but it looks a bit bulky for what I want to use it for.

    EDIT: To tell you the truth, I'm torn. The DDM-4000 looks great..

    I bought a Behringer bcd3000 you can map it in dozens of ways it has a soundcard and they sell for about $125-$150 I like mine for the price I have owned the x session pro & a Xponent in the past the Behringer BCD3000 is great if you do not need scratch control and want a soundcard built in.

    I've seen the uc33e around and it seems popular, but I'm a bit stumped about how it can be used. It has lot of possibilities for mappings, that's for sure.
