Currently, I have a faderfox DJ2, an akai mpd24, and an echo audiofire2. I am all about portability and ease of setup so my current configuration has worked pretty well. However, my fingers are getting a little fat, and as much as I love the faderfox, I need something bigger to play with. I want an external mixer because I hope it will it allow me a little more versatility in my setup, and it is much more interchangeable with my friends setups which utilize serato. I've been eyeing 4 channel mixers that have midi capabilities, but I'm not sure if it's just built up in my head that I need midi and 4 channels, or if it is actually necessary for what I want to do. I don't plan on getting tables in the near future, so I'll be using the akai to play/pause and pitch control, while leaving the mixer to do the basic eq's and whatnot. I'd like to utilize the midi capabilities, but I'm worried that some of the mixers i'm looking at lack in the Sound Quality department. Out of the Korg Zero4, Ecler Nuo4, and the Behringer DDM4000, which is the most solid and quality? Midi control would be nice, but If the mixer I get lacks in sound quality I won't be able to utilize it's midi functions outside my bedroom. Anyone got any ideas or pointers?
