Looks like the forums ate my first attempt to post this. Long story short, bought a twitch, couldn't get it to power on for anything so had to return it. Now I'm trying to figure out what to go with.
I want to keep cost down because my production setup sucks all my spare money and honestly the dj gear is just something to relax and have fun with. I doubt I'll ever have the skill to gig with it. But I also don't want to buy something that I'm just going to want to replace in a year or two (mixtrack) so i'm pretty sure I'm going modular. There's the added fun of getting to build midi the way I want, which I always enjoy in ableton.
I got this idea from a few of ean's recent videos where he uses two X1s and a mixer.
I'm thinking of getting two X1s and a behringer cmd mm-1.
The x1 seems to have great community support on the mapping side, and the mm-1 is really the only option I could find for my mixer section that wasn't an analogue mixer. 4 faders and 4 knobs for eq/filter seems like the necessities.
Does this sound like a good setup? Would it cover everything I need. I already own traktor pro 2 and the couple times I messed with it I found myself mostly interested in cue juggling and strange FX tricks. I'm obviously not experienced with DJ gear and am hoping for some opinions before I start buying these.
