nexus djm 900 alternative????

[moosamo]

Hi,

I'm looking at running the following setup:

macbook running traktor and ableton
2x x1s
ableton push
a nexus djm 900 alternative?

So my question is are there any good nexus djm900 alternatives that have a built in soundcard but for a cheaper price range?

Thanks

Yes there are.
I would go for Denon X1600 because of dedicated MIDI encoders & buttons.



Also there's X1700


Also look for A&H DB4 & DB2 and also Pioneer DJM-850

+1 for the DN-X1600. Love this Mixer.

also the Korg Zero 8.

Pioneers DJM850, Allen & Heath DB2 or DB4 if you shop around and there is a Denon alternative which the guys mentioned above but can't comment on the mixer as i've never used it

Thanks for everyones quick replies!!! will definitely be on this forum more

With your suggestions could i send 4 decks from traktor individually to a separate channel without using an external soundcard?

Sorry for being newby i'm new to this.

Plus 1 on the Denon 1600, I have had one a while now and love it.

Any mixer with a 4 channel sound card you could send 4 decks to it without an external sound card.

If you want to use timecode then you need to make sure the mixer is Traktor Scratch certified

+1 for the Denon X1600. You can reliably find them "new" for $800, and "factory refurbished" units for $500.

The A&H DB2 would be the other "obvious" option at a (slightly) reduced price from the 900.

I use the 1600 at home in the studio and the 900 at one of my gigs. No real complaints on either but i do prefer the denon overall, cant beat it at the price point, especially used.
