Hi everyone,
this is my first post, I hope I am respecting the forum rules
I would like to start building a laptop based setup for mixing and djing. I know it can be really difficult at my age (30yo) to start from scratch but it is a long time that I have dreamed to try to make this happening, and I am now writing here to ask for some help and advise on what to buy.
I have some experience with music production on ableton/reason, I have had a lot of synthesizers (hardware and software) in the past, as well as audio interfaces, but I am completely new to Traktor and djing in general.
The genre of music I like to listen and that I would like to mix is downtempo/experimental techno/electronics/hip hop: artists like Bonobo, Flume, Kiasmos, Nosaj Thing, Aphex Twin, Deru are my favourites and I am also keen to produce my own music.
I was thinking on trying to start with a minimal but effective setup. I own both a macbook and a windows pc so for now I would prefer to be able to use both of the environments. I sold everything I was owning in the past so I need to buy everything from scratch.
In the following list my actual ideas and some questions:
Monitors : Neumann kh120, Focal cms65, Adam a7x
Audio Interface: NI audio 6 (is this really needed to use traktor or can I use a better quality interface like an Audient or RME?)
Mixer: Xone 92 (I don't have any real knowledge about mixers but it seems a good choice around the forums)
Controllers : x1 + f1
What do you think? Any suggestions will be really appreciated
