got 1210's whats the cheapest way to get setup?

[Gravyboat]

so i got an s4 after years of using 1210's. all my mates have enjoyed using it, one of them is thinking of going digital. he's got a decent laptop he's got 2 1210's whats the cheapest way he can get setup using the 1210's with traktor.

i know NI have an offer on atm but i'm not sure what his best options are. i'm gessing he'd need the scratch version with a soundcard and midi mixer???

i'm still a bit new to this, his style of mixing is different to me. i like using the sample decks and fx, loops he likes manual beat matching and just mixing 2 songs. thats why i thought he might be better keeping his 1210's than getting a controller.

Traktor Scratch Duo 2 should be what he's looking for then

He got a mixer i presume?

He could get scratch pro duo 2 with audio 6 sound card. Simple 2 deck mixing but limited by duo software which has limitations (no advanced fx)

Or if he wants to go whole hog just get Scratch Pro 2 with Audio 10 sound card - then world is his oyster.

This is usefull: http://www.native-instruments.com/#/...o-2/?page=1991

nah the best option would be buying an audio 6, with the free pro 2 license he could upgrade to scratch pro 2 by buying the s4 scratch upgrade. which would come to around the same price as scratch duo.

thanks for the help especially that comparison chart! i think the scratch duo 2 would be ok for him. thats why i started this thread i was unsure of what the different versions of traktor do so that was a big help.

can he use any mixer with it? he's got a vestax 05 pro think it's the mk3

so basically he wants this?

No he can't do an upgrade unless he already has software.

awesome. i clicked the wrong link in the shopping results and didnt notice it was the upgrade kit

whats the crack with the mixer, i'm guessing he cant control traktor with it, he'd need a new one?

[Conall]

is no one gonna listen to me then?


The mixer he has will be fine, and he shouldnt buy traktor duo. read my previous post as to why.

[Gravyboat]

he's not got an s4, i did look mate. it says on the NI website it wont work without an s4?
