Hi
I'm looking at getting a small compact controller to plug into my laptop. I'm not aspiring to be the next big thing, this is purely to mix tracks for my own enjoyment, so I don't want to spend a lot of cash. I had originally looked at the Kontrol Z1 which is exactly what I'm after with regards to size and function. But the lack of transport controls makes it pretty useless for me, unless I buy an X1 too. But if I do that I may as well buy an S2, which is doubling the cost and makes a less compact setup.
Anyway. I've seen the Akai AMX which pretty much looks like a Z1 with added transport controls. I know this runs on Serato but with regards to software choice I'm not fussy, Traktor or Serato will be fine.
So. My question is... Will the Akai AMX be enough on its own to do basic 2 channel mixing off my laptop without having to touch the mouse / trackpad all the time? Or does anyone have experience with this (micro) setup who would warn me against it?
Many thanks
