    Default Help finding a USB capable mixer

    Hi, this is probably the right place to post it heh..

    I use a laptop and a pair of DJ-tech kontrol ones. They are pretty decent put they only have a usb port to control my software, I'm looking for a mixer that can conect to my laptop via usb and be able to mix the tracks, most do I think out put to phono RCA (I'm not good with terminology if that's wrong the white and red plugs). I have a budget of around £100 to spend on the mixer.

    So recap:

    Usb capable mixer that I can input my digital channels through to it
    2 channels
    phono output
    £100 ish

    If anyone can help that would be really awesome. x

    You'll need a mixer with an audio interface to be able to use a laptop and software. Best value is the Allen & Heath Xone:23C, really. To use the audio interface, you'll have to open up the mixer and change a couple of jumpers round. The manual has instructions and it's fairly straightforward.

    EDIT: You won't find anything new for £100. If I were you I'd wait a bit longer and save up some more. A hard lesson learned after building computers is: "you get what you pay for" and "buy cheap, buy twice".

    Cheapest option is DJ Tech X10 but even that is 200+$. Xone is around 350+

    He's talking GBP, to be fair.

    Yep, thats RCA phono.

    The only mixer I've seen remotely near your budget is the Numark M101, but to be quite honest if I was buying on a budget I'd ignore that one and save more money. The Allen & Heath 23C that happydan mentioned is probably your best bet but you won't find that for 100 notes in good condition. Out of interest, what DJ software are you using?
    Live rig: Denon Prime (5000M's)
    Retired: Denon x1700, Denon SC3900's, Traktor, Technics SL1200's, my vinyl
    Wish list: Some Roland Aira stuff.

    Found a solution, woo, I got a soundcard with 2 outputs for £30 so I can go analogue and get the numark m101. Yay
