    Default Midicontrollers if you already own a good mixer

    Here is the deal, next year I will start spinning in clubs for some student parties with over 600 people.
    Till now i've been mixing at home, doing it only with alot of hotkeys on the keyboard and I get pretty good mixes. But I dont want to be standing there in the clubs just behind a computer like a computer geek.
    So I've ordered a djm 800 since most of the time I use 2 tracks and adding acapella's etc and a Edirol FA-66 audio interface soundcard.

    But I will also need a good midi controller controlling my tracks etc. So is the vci-100 still handy since I already got a mixer or do you guys recommend me something else.

    The M Audio Trigger finger is nice, the MPD24 by Akai has better build quality, but lacks the option of switching between relative and absolute mode.

    You could also look for alternatives like the Faderfox, EKS XP5.
    Next to the fact that you like to have an additional MIDI controller, you might want to look at the fact if you want a big controller, like the BCR2000 and the likes, or a small one like the Faderfox, or the Xone 1d.

    Default Mpd32

    I have been using the MPD32 to play out everyweek. This plus Ableton Live = House heaven.
